No wonder why AT&T is running a close second for the most hated company next to Sony. Any opportunity people get to avoid using their service (i.e. iphone unlocks) it is jumped on. This isn't shocking considering their latest insanity that they've put together.
AT&T's new 'terms of service' basically states that if you're a internet customer of theirs, you can't publicly complain about their billing or service. If you do, they have the right to discontinue your internet service.
Now, I've never heard of a company that WORKS FOR YOU say that if you say bad things about us, we'll shut you down. That's the most communistic thing I've ever heard from a company.
If your service is as good as you say it is, then what do you have to worry about?
UPDATE: Here is the exact wording for the new TOA:
AT&T may immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Service, any Member ID, electronic mail address, IP address, Universal Resource Locator or domain name used by you, without notice, for conduct that AT&T believes...(c) tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries.

When the business life cycle is complete, then AT&T will be suing its customers and they will go the way of SCO. They are just exactly that barking mad. I'm glad I dumped AT&T and went Verizon for wireless, which is more elbow room in the fire rather than the confines of the iron skillet. There's some cooler temps if you can get under the embers, you know....
Man, I guess I'm lucky not to have ATT or I might not have any Internet after this post.
