The worst part is that AT&T was VERY vague about the threshold. They just called it "in the top tier of users". The policy would push the average down over time, which means that "the top tier" threshold would become lower and lower.

Yes, the real issue in the complaint is likely the grandfathered consumers who signed up to AT&T understanding one definition of unlimited just to be forced into another. I don't think it's an FTC attack on "unlimited but throttled" data plans.
And they said they "may see reduced data speeds" which really means "will see drastically reduced data speeds."
