If u didn't authorize the change, do ur self a favor and file a law suit. AT&T has been sued and lost or settled out of court a ton of times for crap like this in their past. I realized right when the family data plan came in to effect after upgrading my phone how their sales staff was trained to manipulate customers out of their grandfather plans. If they changed u without permission sue, because I'm in a different boat where I have four lines grandfathered in and my line is not, I'm on the five gig plan and they rape me for 175 dollars a month in data because they won't offer a plan above 5 gigs, they just charge me an additional ten dollars a gig after the fact. Sue them bro, get free service for life

I still don't understand why people on ATT are trying to cling on to their Unlimited data. The people on Verizon have good enough reasons to (Verizon doesn't throttle or get pissy if you consume 10s of gigs per month, for now anyway). But on ATT your Unlimited plans are basically pointless at this point. After 3-4GB, your data essentially becomes useless after the throttle. For all intents and purposes, you can't tether. And it's actually cheaper to get access to more high-speed data every month on the newer plans. They literally made switching over to limited data a much better deal (or made keeping Unlimited a worse one, depending on how you look at it).
It depends on the APN used. For example, the "internet" APN has traditionally never been monitored for tethering nor throttled.
