Not Surprisingly, New iPad's Ultrafast 4G LTE Connectivity is a 'Speed Trap'
Wall Street Journal reports that new iPad users are discovering that they're burning through their monthly data limits quite quickly thanks to the ultrafast 4G LTE speeds.
WSJ reports that users are in a catch-22 situation:
"It's kind of a Catch-22," says Mr. Wells, a 31-year-old Web developer who decided to pony up for another gigabyte. "It streams really fast video, but by streaming really fast video you tend to watch more video, and that's not always best."

& that's why I jumped on an bought the first iPad. I didn't want to get the first version, but AT&T was offering a unlimited plan for 30 bucks. They were going to get rid of the plan shortly. So now I'm grandfathered in, and unlike AT&T throttling the iPhone they are not doing it (yet at least) to the iPad. Can't wait to get my new iPad and screw AT&T with my unlimited plan!!!!!!!

You can almost bet the house that AT&T will cap that s**t in a little bit. This just sucks. Finally get nice speeds and we will have to seriously have to monitor what and how we use it. Bummer.
-
That's why I didn't get the LTE iPad... makes no sense, it should have at least 10GB monthly... otherwise it's useless, like you mentioned, HD videos will eat up the data limits immediately. Come on AT&T and Verizon, we are in 2012, not 2002!
-
Really, something is gonna have to change down the road or now would be nice but this isn't gonna cut it.
-
O goodie they can charge us more money!!!
-
underneath the world we will need to reduce speeds. Gorspot stays on the second G. Remember, speed is only as fast as you are able to go8008GORSPOT
-
T mobile needs to change there 3G frequency so they can get into the iPhone and iPad bissenuss
-
When consider the demand data amount for iPad and speed of LTE, the price of data is expensive.
-
Wireless are going to milk us to the point that they going to change there riduclous plan
-
Here in Singapore we were given a standard 12gb data plan and additional data capped for an extra $30 if we exceed to unlimited. They should increase a bit there.

Nobody cares about F****ing Singapore. This is America. I know you can get 6g speed and 1.2 million gigs of data in every other third world turd box on earth, but how does that affect what goes on here in America which is the topic of discussion?

Another dickhead with a me myself and I attitude. He's just trying to provide you with information so you can pressurize your carriers to provide better terms.

Mike, racist much?

Mike does not speak for most Americans.

Singapore is the worlds #3 when it comes to gross national income, the US F*****ing of A is ranked #26.....so speaking of third world countries, nuff said. On topic: i started to rip my bluray dvd's and load them on my 64Gb new ipad. Damn you Thomas Cook, we need 320Gb storage capacity or please buy a telco from the remaining $45 biljoen and start offering matching services which are worth devices like the NiP.
