Unlimited Laptop Data Plan?

AT&T used to have an unlimited data plan for $59.99 for laptops (with AT&T's
air card). I have been told that AT&T no longer offers that or any other
unlimited plan for laptops. Is that true?

Thanks in advance... Bob

Yes, it's true- AT&T, Sprint and Verizon all have 5GB caps on their data
services.

Strange, I have AT&T's Laptop Connect plan ($59.95 per month) and I
have yet to see any notification that it was anything but unlimited.
I don't use it much, so I have probably never even gotten close to 5GB
per month, but I would have thought that I would have gotten some sort
of written notice if the (originally "unlimited") plan was changing.

John Navas, do you have any info regarding this?

Perhaps you're either grandfathered on an older truly unlimited plan, or
you just never noticed.

The current plans are here:
http://www.wireless.att.com/business...comp-table.jsp
which shows a 5GB cap on the new Dataconnect plans.

I use my card for work 5 days a week 9 hours a day virtually non stop. I
also use it when I am not working here and there for personal use. I really
did not worry about the data as I was in the unlimited plan. My employer
gets the bill and I never have any clue to how much data I was using. Since
I saw this post I decided to look at my counter on "3G Watcher", the program
that runs my connection. I have not reset the counter since February and
found the counter at 111 MB sent and 1.05 GB received. That is well under 5
GB per month. Unless you are an EXTREME downloader, I really do not see
where this 5 GB cap would created a problem.

Perhaps a few other things, including the atomic bomb, the hydrogen
bomb, a significant portion of the space program, and Unix.
