AT&T Drops Throttling for Unlimited Elite Plan, Increases Hotspot Allowance, Boosts Video Resolution to 4K Ultra HD

AT&T has announced that it is dropping throttling for its Unlimited Elite plan, increasing hotspot allowance, and boosting video resolution to 4K Ultra HD.

Starting this week, your unlimited high-speed data can’t slow down based on how much you use. But we’re not stopping there in giving our customers more. With many continuing to connect remotely, we’re also increasing the mobile hotspot data allowance, and upping the video resolution to 4K Ultra High Definition. And we’re automatically adding it all at no cost to you.

Customers will receive a text when they've been upgraded with the new features. There is no need to sign up or pay more.


Hotspot data is increasing from 30GB to 40GB and 4K Ultra HD resolution is available in select areas.

“We listen to our customers, appreciate them and want to make it easy for them to get the most out of their wireless plans. With these Unlimited Elite enhancements, we are making it simple by automatically adding these enhancements for all our Elite customers – they don’t have to do a thing,” said Jennifer Van Buskirk, Senior Vice President of Wireless Marketing, AT&T. “It’s hassle-free for our customers as we continue to add value and simplify the wireless experience.”

AT&T Unlimited Elite costs $50/month when you get four lines.
