Saw something about that: AT&T is finally getting serious with its Unlimited Plan | Android Central

They severely missed the point on the $60 plan, but the $90 plan gets them into the tolerable zone.

Tolerable maybe. But their throttle/deprior or whatever is worse than Verizon's. But they have the mobley device that can be added I believe for $20 for unlimited data deprior of course. I have OG UDP lines so not sure it's worth it to add or convert one of my lines to this one. I don't get why they Verizon and whomever else hates employee discounts smh

Not perfect but I'm definitely liking the new plans at&t is coming out with.

They put me on 6gb for $60 plus tax so if my work discount sticks won't be a bad bill.

Wonder if the $60 unlimited will allow work discounts? If I can stream decently on it without constant buffering that may be an option for me.

How is the de-prioritize worse? It is the same. 22 GB and they will throttle during congestion.

I guess I'm not getting what you mean. All their plans say after 22 GB they may slow speed (in congested areas). That's not different from Verizon.

I'm talking about the speeds that will be reduced to if in a congested area. But I may be wrong. It might be the hotspot feature or the phone's data that's worse once you go over 22/10 gbs. I read it over at howardforums.

Ah I'd have to read that to be sure. Being throttled in congestion will lower speeds overall so I doubt it's a big difference.

The Hotspot on AT&T at 10GB drops to maximum of 128kbps which does make hotspot pretty much unusable after 10GB.
Verizon's info just says at 10GB Hotspot drops to 3G speeds.

As for the 22GB side, neither site states (as far as I can see) what your speed drops to if the tower is too congested. Both just say may be reduced due to congestion.

Does anyone know if you are on the unlimited with DirecTV will we get the hotspot?

If you keep unlimited and DirecTV, I would contact them and move to the new plan, then you get Hotspot and by having DirecTV, you get the added discount. They more than likely won't change you automatically, so contact them and change to the new plan when it comes out Thursday.
