AT&T keeping up pressure on top iPhone data users

Looks like AT&T is still sending out passive aggressive -- or aggressive aggressive -- text messages to top iPhone data users again/still.

AT&T Free Msg: Your data usage this month is in the top 5% of users. Use Wi-Fi to help avoid reduced speeds in future bill cycles. Visit www.att.com/dataplans.

Nothing new, of course, they've been sniffing around for Jailbreak tetherers and trying to figure out other ways to lighten their network load for a while now.

Anyone else wake up to this particular nastygram recently? If so, how much data did it take to make you a five-percenter?

Thanks: David!
