Wow!! I'm on limited now.. 4 gigs a month.. I'm at 2 gigs so far.. I hate it and hate that I had to leave the unlimited.. But my old Razr flip phone was dead and dated..
id be careful going over that mythical 100gb barrier on a regular basis as verizon theoretically can cancel your contract for abuse of network (or something like that)
and you will see the occasional thread for verizon phones from time to time where people post warnings from verizon for it
im sure some would actually *like* getting their contract cancelled so they could jump ship w/ no etf though

And you guys are the reason Verizon got rid of their unlimited plan.

Out of curiosity, what do you do to use so much data? I'm on unlimited as well, but I rarely even break my 2GB mark (I am on wifi at home and at work a lot so I know I'm lower than I would be otherwise). If I weren't on wifi as much as I am I can't imagine I'd ever break 10GB, if even that high.
I have hit 100GB before, but only because I was downloading the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series using my phone as a tether while out of town.
I knew someone would say this... Please stop trolling. I'm on limited as well. Greed is the reason why not excessive usage. Using your logic you should cap your home broadband... Cause you're the reason its expensive... LTE has a huge footprint and can handle tons of users... Its greed don't be dumb.

I use at least ten gigs a month streaming music.

Home broadband is capped for most of the US, usually at 250 gigs.
And if it's greed, then why am I paying less for data now. If it was greed wouldn't everyone be paying more?

How are you paying less? It was 30 for unlimited now its 30 for 2gb... Cutting unlimited and charging the same for it is greed technically less for more considering the cost per data ratio.

Jesus what do you guys do! I stream music when I'm driving and I think the most I've ever gotten close to is 10gb. That's crazy lol!
I am between Internet providers at the moment at my apartment (and we are 5 college age guys) so we are using my phone for tethering atm
Also.. I don't think most home broadband is capped. I've been with four different service providers and go way over that every month. I think I know of one or two that cap. This is minus colleges of course. It may be area specific though that I don't know.

Exactly. They dropped unlimited when there were very few LTE phones. It was merely a money issue, not a network abuse issue. They knew an influx of users would be coming to Verizon with the launch of the iPhone and it was an easy way to make truckloads of money.

Please explain how you pay less? It was $30 for unlimited. It is now $30 for 2GB. How in any way shape or form is that less money? You are charged the same amount for less data.
You may be paying less for voice and text, but not data.
And I do believe only AT&T and maybe Time Warner cap home usage.
yeah verizon clearly didnt feel the need to be as competitive with incentives to keep customers from leaving once it had its own iphone
i think tiered/family plans were probably going to happen on vzw regardless of the iphone the following things changing would probably not have if they didnt work it out w/ apple
- my verizon customers annual upgrades (the loss of this almost made me leave verizon)
- regular upgrades now at a full 24 months vs 20
as for broadband caps its provider specific for sure...(ironically) we have verizon fios at home and there are no caps
I think alot of places have a soft 250gb cap. I've heard that Comcast does. Supposedly at that point you are supposed to start seeing slower speeds or something. This is purely based of memory btw.
As for the how is he paying less? I know my family plan went down in price once we went to the family share plan by about 20-30$ a month. So that may be what he is talking about.
You are paying less for voice and text, not data tho. If I jumped on a share plan right now, yea I'd save $20, but I'd also be stuck with 2-4GB a month. If I got the 10GB to share plan, I'd pay more than I do now for 3 lines (2 with unlim data, 1 dumb phone) and that's without overages haha, which I would do by 20+GB a month. When you have kids and you take HD video of them and it uploads to 2 different places and you stream HBO, Netflix, Youtube on 2 phones... lol, I'd burn through 10 in a week.
I typically rock like 10 to 15 gigs a month, and i don't even tether. jeez!
