AT&T has confirmed it will begin throttling high data users beginning October 1st.
The new policy will only affect those who are still using the unlimited data plan and even still, only the top 5 percent of those users will be subjected to the throttle. Throttling is when the speed of a device is lowered to keep it from consuming more data which would lower the bandwidth AT&T has to supply to its customers. There is no word on what the throttle will be set at, but it most likely will be based on varying limits set month-to-month.
