AT&T data plans to become more varied, costly, stink less

att logo 2 AT&T data plans to become more varied, costly, stink lessSo, you got an iPhone a year or so ago, before the Verizon announcement, and want more data, but don’t want to go up another tier on AT&T.

Well, there’s good news and there’s bad news. The bad news is that AT&T is revamping its data plans, again. The good news: you don’t have to change yours…but you might actually want to.

Basically, whatever plan you have now, add an extra gig of data a month to that, and an extra five bucks. So instead of 2GB of data a month for $25, now you get 3GB for $30. If you got the tethering and hotspot options, that was formerly 4GB a month for $45. Now it’s 5GB a month for $50.

Except for the baseline plan: it was 200MB a month for $15 and now it’s 300MB a month for $20. Protip: pay the extra ten bucks, unless your network is a hot mess.

And the best news is that you don’t have to step it up if you don’t want to. So there’s actually some customer choice in this deal. Now if we could only figure out why an extra gig is worth sixty bucks a year…
