    Think so? I got mulitple text messages from AT&T that said "You're in the top 5 of data users" - This happened to me last month and then cleared up on it's own.


    EDIT:
    That's exactly is what happening. I just did some digging around, how is this even allowed?

    Thing is, I am one of the top 5% of users who did not jailbreak their iPhone. Such BS.

      You're in the top 5 of data users in what, the world?

      Because that's freaking hilarious and amazing to me. I knew you used data like a fiend but am I actually in the online presence of the actual top five data fiend in the world?

        Haha.. the world I think.

        I haven't quite used 3 gb this month, yet my speeds have been reduced. My cycle doesn't start over until the 24th of this month. Such BS.

        My usage.

            Dook, that's insane! Hahaha! I probably use .5GB on a 'high usage' month for me. Is it mainly movie streaming, Pandora, iTunes downloads?

            It sucks that they throttle you like that. If you pay for the service, you should be entitled to the 3G (or HSPA+) speeds that they're advertising.

              It's just from streaming audio all day while at work. Pretty sorry. I guess they are wanting people to switch to one of their other data plans.

                Dook, I have become a Spotify junkie and soon realized streaming high-quality for 5-6 hours a day at work was burning bandwidth like mad.

                So now each Sunday, I'll sync up 12-15 albums I want to listen to during the week. I'll save each album as a playlist so they are downloaded to my phone while hooked up to my Mac at home instead of having to stream them over 3G.

                Of course you can still go "off the board" and listen to something that's not pre-synched, but at least you are taking the lion's share of the load off of 3G streaming.

                I know this isn't the Spotify thread, but I love it. Listened to REO Speedwagon's debut album for the first time yesterday while driving home from work... WOW. Never realized they started out with a different lead vocalist. It sounded way different than their well-known stuff, but pretty good.

                  Those are good tips. Most of my streaming is talk radio though.

                    Local radio? You could, ya know... Just get an AM/FM radio.

                        I dont know if this is old news but it appears a new iOS is coming out. I went to update one of my apps and it said under the comments "Enhancements for upcoming iOS release" I wonder what the new iOS will have.

                            Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

                            Not so fast...Here's the beta notes...

                            Enhanced Siri dictation support during text input "on supported devices"[77]
                            Carrier updates (e.g. AT&T 11.1)
                            Baseband updates
                            Attempts to fix battery life[78]
                            Fixes iPhone 4S support for Caller ID Name Display (on supported carriers – i.e. Rogers & Fido in Canada)
                            Images can now be removed manually from the Photo Stream in iCloud. Any photos deleted are now also removed from other iOS devices connected to iCloud.
                            Shake-to-shuffle caused the Music app to freeze, this will be fixed.
                            The Setup Assistant caused an “infinite setup loop” for some users. When the setup was completed, the iPhone would jump back to a “thank you” screen ad infinitum. Users had to reboot the device to restore functionality.
                            SpringBoard, the home screen app for the iPhone would sometimes fall into a state when double-clicking the home button would not display the camera icon. This too will be fixed.
                            Turn on/off 3G toggle restored on iPhone 4S
                            Possible Siri support, this is assumed because of the new menu in the iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch "call dictation and privacy".
                            Lockscreen Arrow Slider, is smaller and square before it was bigger and more rectangular
                            Bug fixes where enabling bluetooth and returning to homescreen the bluetooth icon still remains in the status bar again this will be fixed
                            Possible Facebook integration. A new Facebook username field in the Contacts application and the ability to upload pictures directly to Facebook via Camera Roll.
                            Possible Bug fixes on Wi-Fi signal strength affecting iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
