What other cellphone company should I jump to if I decide to dump AT&T? Aren't these capped plans still the best deal in the U.S. Of A.?

Not only that, but AT&T could be subject to a big darn class action suit. Not good business. I doubt they even seriously considered flat out ending the unlimited plans unilaterally.

I haven't seen another provider that provides the coverage I need for basic cell service, let alone gives me the data plans I have come to rely on.

I started with unlimited on my iPad and then for the next month I went to 250 to check the usage. After I heard about the change, I switched back to unlimited, but it takes effect after June 7. When I look at the account it says unlimited will start when the time is up. Does anyone know either way if my iPad account screen is telling the truth?
