I remember the first time I was throttled on my unlimited plan once I hit 3GB. It was basically unusable. I called to complain and was told that I was guaranteed "up to" a certain amount of speed and that I was still technically unlimited in the amount of bandwidth I could use. Even if it was at a slow 100kbps or whatever. I've hated AT&T ever since but I don't see Verizon to be much better and in my building that's the only 2 carriers that get a signal.
Things have gotten better though. The eventually got me over to Next when that plan came out and for some reason basically gave me the iphone 5S I had just bought on contract because they didn't charge me the extra monthly in the next plan. Then I went from 10GB shared to 15GB shared for the same price. And now I get roll over data. So we never come close to hitting our data cap even though I still use about 5GB a month and I'm paying about $60 less a month than what I was awhile back on unlimited.
But, back on topic, this is BS. They should pay the fine. It certainly wouldn't work out for me if I told them I wasn't going to pay a late fee or whatever other fee they wanted to charge me.
