AT&T's Unlimited iPad Plan is Truly Unlimited [No Soft Cap]

Posted April 7, 2010 at 5:22pm by iClarified
AT&T has said that the iPad's upcoming $30/month unlimited plan will not be subject to the usual "5GB soft cap", according to GearLog.

According to AT&T's Mark Siegel, "unlimited is unlimited." Stream video 24/7 if you want; AT&T promises that they won't criticize or judge. (Well, maybe they will, but they'll keep it to themselves.) YouTube yourself silly all day and all night. Use Sling Player until your eyes go square. While Siegel also wanted to remind me that he expected iPad users to spend a lot of time in Wi-Fi hotspots (and they get access to AT&T's own hotspots for free), he said that the crazy outliers who stream data all the time won't be penalized.

This is excellent news especially considering the amount of media streaming apps like NetFlix which have been popping up in the App Store.

The soft cap would be your 3g speed will be limited to 5-10% bandwidth. Ie 3mbps 3g would be limited to 50-100kbps.
