AT&T may be looking at new ways to control data hogs on its wireless network.
The company is rumored to be considering throttling super-heavy data users and restricting them to slower speeds in an effort to better manage its network and keep up with demand for mobile data, according to the blog 9to5mac.
The new policy could start the first in October, which is right around the time that Apple is expected to launch its next generation iPhone, the blog said

Well who would have thought that customers would take the word "unlimited" in "unlimited data plan" so literally. I mean that is just impudent - people subscribing to unlimited data plans and then just using up as much bandwith as they like. What are those people thinking. What's next? Pizza hut throtteling pizza supply at the all-you-can-eat buffet? You really can eat as much as you can, but we will only resupply you with a slice of pizza every five hours.
