AT&T Update: Unlimited DataConnect plan no longer “unlimited”

As I’ve posted before, I have an Unlimited DataConnect plan from AT&T for $60/month. However, if you go looking for it now, you won’t find it. AT&T has apparently done away with “unlimited” in favor of a $60/month plan with a 5GB maximum. Practically speaking, even if this did affect me, it wouldn’t - my maximum data usage in a month was 284MB. But I just thought I should mention it in case anyone was looking for it.

In fact, they currently only have 1 DataConnect plan (the above-mentioned 5GB), so they have apparently done away with the feeble 10MB plan as well that some people were initially signed up for (much to their regret).

They used to have another plan that let you combine DataConnect with WiFi access where available, but I don’t see that plan either. Now that Starbucks has jumped ship from T-mobile to AT&T, that might have greater appeal (although if you have a Starbucks card, you are supposed to get 2-hours of WiFi a day for free).
