AT&T adding $35 3GB plan, cutting 5GB plan to $50 for LaptopConnect devices

We’re still mourning the untimely death of unlimited data, but the good news is that carriers are still playing with plan pricing to figure out what the market will bear — and in at least some cases, it’s for the cheaper. AT&T’s on the verge of revising its 5GB LaptopConnect plan (the type of plan you use on USB modems and MiFis) down from $60 to $50 per month with overage now $10 per 1GB rather than $0.05 per MB previously — $50 per GB. Additionally, the old 200MB plan for $35 is being replaced with a “promotional” 3GB plan at the same price (also with $10 per 1GB overage), though no expiration date has been put in place just yet. The changes dovetail conveniently with the recent tethering / mobile hotspot boost to 4GB , and might even suggest a boost in AT&T’s confidence over its network as it starts upgrading to HSPA+ nationwide.
