I'm in the top 5%. Thanks AT&T!

I'm not big into complaining, though this is just outright ridic.  A few days ago I received a text message from AT&T that read:

AT&T Free Msg: Your data usage is approaching the top 5% of users. Use Wi-Fi to help avoid reduced speed for this bill cycle. Visit www.att.com/dataplans.

 

Then two days later:

AT&T Free Msg: Your data usage is among the top 5% of users. Data speeds for the rest of your current bill cycle may be reduced. Visit www.att.com/dataplans.

I've received (and sent) some pretty horrendous texts in my lifetime, though this is just filthy.  Basically, because I use a premium plan that I pay $150/month for, I'm not the lucky contestant of a dial-up speed phone (after I received the message my phone instantly loaded slower than a 28k baud modem--see attached speed test with a whopping 0.0Mb/s).

While I'm proud to say that I'm part of the "5%", this is really annoying.  


Dear AT&T:

Stop robbing your customers.

Here's a press release with their explanation:

Same message!

I received the exact same messages! Past 2-3 days my phone has been incredibly slow. I thought about responding, isn't that why I pay for unlimited data?
