So 2 lines with att at unlimited data would be $130? Thats sorta lame. If Tmo was better in my area I'd switch in a heart beat. I'm still in hopes that att will become more competitive.
I doubt they'll drop the price. They're usually on par with Verizon prices.So 2 lines with att at unlimited data would be $130? Thats sorta lame. If Tmo was better in my area I'd switch in a heart beat. I'm still in hopes that att will become more competitive.
Oh agreed. But one can still hope!I doubt they'll drop the price. They're usually on par with Verizon prices.

Yeah I am hoping that AT&T will match hotspot data that other plans offer. No hotspot at all kind of hurts their unlimited plan. It is nice to have in case you need it (even if only on occasion).
So does att offer any type of plan with hotspot? I think they offer a hotspot for your car? If so is that the only one?

Car is the only one -- other than that no. Oh well on their limited plans as well but not on the unlimited ones.
Hey @Almeuit,
I'm a little late to the game, but I wanted to mention another useful tip about the unlimited plans. The Unlimited Plus plan can be used with AT&T's Wireless Home Phone and Internet device.
The best part? When it's being used to "tether" or connect Wi-Fi devices in your home to that device, it is not subject to the throttling like you would see if you were using your phone. It's the same for our hotspot devices.
Ref: Unlimited Plus TOS
"Tethering & Mobile Hotspot: Includes up to 10GB per line per month. After 10GB, tethering speed will be slowed to a max of 128Kbps for the rest of the bill cycle (except for these products: Connected Cars, Hot Spots, and Wireless Home Phone and Internet). "
I hope this helps!
I just saw this and wanted to let anyone else who came across this thread to know about the update.Makes sense. My post was before AT&T decided to change up their terms to allow hotspot .
I am thinking of switching from Verizon, but ATT wants 135.00 for 3 lines on UDP.
Verizon wants 110.00
Is there any other differences to offset this cost?
Does VZW allow 4k streaming on this plan? Sprint limits to 1080p
That's good to know. Thanks. Could I impose on someone to test it? Thanks!Hey @recDNA!
As far as I know, as long as you're in a coverage area that is giving you over 16 mbps down (which should be easily doable on 4G), I would think you wouldn't have a problem streaming 4K.
The trick is the AT&T Unlimited Plus plan has Stream Saver turned on by default which limits your video to 480p. You can easily turn this feature off though by following this tutorial.
Let me know if that helps!
@recDNA,That's good to know. Thanks. Could I impose on someone to test it? Thanks!
IME nobody at VZW knows anything. They will act likk they do but only trying it yourself proves anything. That is why I am still asking some kind soul to actually run a test on VZW LTE to see if they can actually receive a full UHD signal.@recDNA,
I'm glad that helped; I took a look at your original post I was responding to and noticed that you actually asked a Verizon question! Sorry about that!
From what I can tell, Verizon isn't throttling video on their plan. In a statement, they said "We deliver whatever the content provider gives us. We don’t manipulate the data." (Src)
Based on that, I would assume you could stream 4K on their network if the content provider is streaming in 4K. I would recommend checking with them though for a definitive answer; or hopefully someone else can chime in with their results.
