AT&T Upgrades Its Unlimited Data Deal

The device will be available through the Big Four (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile) carriers, with Verizon and T-Mobile even revealing that sales will begin this spring. It’s good to see the major USA carriers going head-to-head with unlimited data offers, and now AT&T customers are getting a better unlimited plan thanks to that competition that’s heating up. DIRECTV NOW starts at $10 a month after the credit. The plan costs $90 a month, but gives you the option to add DirecTV Now streaming video service for $10 and DirecTV home satellite TV service for $115 a month.

As before, both Unlimited Choice and Unlimited Plus may put restrictions on your download speeds if you use more than 22 GB of data in a single month.

The thing to keep in mind with the Unlimited Choice plan is that network speeds are capped at 3Mbps.

For the new tethering options, speeds will max out at 128 kbps when customers exceed their monthly 10 GB limit.

Customers who have both AT&T wireless and an AT&T video service can get Data Free TV.

As before, if you have a DirecTV subscription, usage of the app won’t count against your data usage.

AT&T’s initial answer to Verizon’s unlimited plan push was pretty awful. To thank our business customers, we’ve simplified their wireless plan pricing. While that reflects a price cut over AT&T’s current unlimited plan ($100 for a single line or $45 a line for four), it does come with limitations. Video streaming is throttled to 480p, but users can enable full video stream quality through their account settings.

Customers with a single line can get service for $95 per month, including unlimited data, talk and text messaging.

For multiple lines, the same plan can be had starting at $155 for two lines.

If you opt for two, three or four lines, pricing escalates to $145, $165 and $185 respectively per month.

In addition to its Unlimited Plus plans, AT&T is also introducing a new plan with slower data speeds called AT&T Unlimited Choice.

Facing increasing competition, USA carriers in recent weeks have once against embraced unlimited data plans. With either plan, subscribers can talk, text and use data in Canada or Mexico with no roaming charges. AT&T’s price drop bring it closer to its competitors, but remains the most expensive single-line plan.

All major carriers in the United States have confirmed that they’ll be carrying the newly-unveiled LG G6.
