AT&T announced last year that it would be throttling the speeds of unlimited customers who were in the "top 5 percent" of data users in their region in October, but it has never given hard figures as to what qualifies a user to be in the top 5 percent. The customer that won his case in court saw his speeds throttled when he used 1.5 to 2GB of data in a given month. AT&T has said that it plans to appeal the court's decision.
