AT&T still throttles “unlimited data” -- even when network not congested

AT&T has changed its policy to stop the automatic throttling of many unlimited data plans, but the company’s older throttling policy still applies to customers with unlimited LTE data. AT&T said the policy will be changed for all customers sometime in 2015, but it did not say whether that will happen closer to the beginning of the year or the end of the year. AT&T’s goal is moving customers off unlimited data plans and onto plans that hit customers with automatic overage fees when they exceed data limits.
