Inside AT&T vs Verizon iPad 2 data service plans
AT&T continues to offer its no commitment plan that users can start or stop anytime without incurring any fees. While it originally offered an unlimited 3G data plan for iPad users, it currently only offers a 250MB cap for $15 and a 2GB plan for $25. In addition to 3G data service, AT&T also offers access to its network of WiFi hot spots to its DataConnect plan users (use of which does not count against the data limits). The carrier is also running a special offer of a free month of base service worth $25, and is also currently selling the original iPad models at $100 off, meaning the entry level 16GB iPad 3G is now $529. Users who go over their air yeezy data limit are hit with either a $15 charge per each 250MB increment on the smaller plan, or a $10 charge per each additional 1GB on the larger option. AT&T sends its users warning messages when they hit 65, 90 and 100 percent of their data plan. The company provides an interactive calculator to help users estimate how much data they're likely to need based on their use.Trucks loaded with antiaircraft batteries, ammunition crates and rocket-propelled grenades rolled toward Ras Lanuf late Tuesday. But there was no sign of battle tanks that rebel fighters have said are on the way. The only tanks visible at garrisons in Benghazi, headquarters for the opposition leadership, are ancient Soviet models of questionable utility. The tanks and other weapons were seized from armories by rebels during street fighting last month. Old Soviet-made armored personnel carriers with young fighters clinging to the hatches have appeared in Ras Lanuf. Most are nestled into protective sand berms along the coastal highway, guarding the approaches to the city, which the rebels seized Friday. The oil complex, port and airport in Ras Lanuf have shut down. An airstrike Tuesday morning apparently damaged a water main, and much of the city was without running water. Most residents have fled, and a small beachfront hotel has been commandeered by rebel fighters, who sauntered through the shabby lobby Tuesday. The reception desk was unstaffed, and someone had pried off the front of a cash machine.Outside, a small clutch of gunmen and news photographers scanned the skies over the desert, searching for signs of warplanes.
