Just a quick (and possibly OT) observation to share with IP, if you want:



In the snippet below, Sid Karin suggested that AT&T would lose in court if the matter of their so-called “unlimited” plan were to be heard. I have no idea if that is the case, but if Mr. Karin has a contract with AT&T that is like mine, he would have already contrac ted away his rights to sue in anything except small claims court. My contract with AT&T includes a mandatory arbitration clause that spe cifies that I “agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims” (emphasis original) between me and AT&T. In addition, I als o do not have the right to be part of a class action. Most of you wi th AT&T probably have agreed to the same.



The whole of the agreement is here if you have not had your recommended daily allowance of fine print today:

Yes, I'm sure that they are correct about the fine print in the

contract that no one reads.   I'm also certain that the contract

does not reflect the unlimited data that they advertise.  I suspect

that they would lose in court.  I am certain that they should.
