Slightly less rape happy than Verizon's offerings.
I'll probably sign up for the 1GB plan. I'm not grandfathered into any sweet plans so my bill is already full of rape. Neither my girl or I use much data due to the overabundance of WiFi so we should be able to squirt by just fine with 1GB. And the fee for going over is only $15 gigs.
Currently I have a 2GB plan and her a 3GB plan. Our bill is over $170 a month. Under the new plan, we'd pay about $130 (about $150 after taxes and other fees). And on the months when we absolutely need an extra gig (unlikely), the $15 charge is still cheaper than our current plan.
But again, bless the WiFi. If not for that I'd easily burn through that 1GB in less than half a month.
AT&T gets into shared data: 'Mobile Share' plans coming late August | The Verge
In many ways, the concept is identical to Verizon's ? you start with a base price for the data bucket than add a surcharge for each device you attach to it ? though the pricing differs somewhat. On AT&T, for instance, a 1GB plan with a single smartphone attached would run $85; on Verizon, the same setup is $90. At 10GB, meanwhile, you'd pay $165 on AT&T and $140 on Verizon, so the best value depends on your particular configuration. Both carriers charge $10 per tablet, $20 per modem / hotspot, and $30 per feature phone, though AT&T has a tiered pricing scheme for smartphones based on the size of the data bucket ? at 1GB you pay $45 per smartphone, but that goes down to $30 if you choose the bulky 20GB option. That's twice as large as Verizon's biggest bucket, though both carriers charge $15 per gigabyte in overage, a 50 percent increase from their individual plans.
