I have to agree. I switched from my grandfathered plan that I had since 2002 (with one exception being that I "lost" my $2.99 T-Zones in early 2011 and "had to" buy a data plan) back in April and couldn't be happier. I'm getting way more for even less money at this point (since getting approved for a school discount as my mother works for a college), so I see no problem. If people have a problem with paying $45 per month, they can always switch to the $30 prepaid plan and rely on VoIP apps for their voice calls if 100 minutes isn't enough.
