AT&T will detect illegal tethering and take it away though. Happened to a friend of mine. Though he is an iPhone user so it served him right!

What does that have to do with my comment?

i really hope this isnt true, in my area verizon is the undisputed king as far as coverage (LTE everywhere, even out in the farm country here)
att is second (lte near cities, hspa+ in more rural areas but without unlimited its not worth it)
tmobile is spotty at best (spots of lte near the biggest city here, hspa+ in other cities, 3g close to cities, and 2G is the most common)
sprint is pathetic ("3g and more" everywhere with large spots of "off network roaming")
hopefully tmobile steps up around here and at least covers most of the 2g spots with 3g otherwise im basically stuck with verizon if i want halfway decent mobile data around here

this makes me really sad, My family has been with VZW since 1998 back when they were still AitTouch. I've personally had my lines since 2006. I don't tether anymore as I have no reason to, but I travel a lot and I'm ALWAYS listening to the unlimited google play music, which sucks down data like a monster, and I watch netflix regularly as well. I don't always have wifi available and even when I do I rarely use it because 4g is more then fast enough and I have unlimited data.
should VZW take my unlimited data they better give me at least 12gb for the same price. I'd even do everything I could to get a class action suit or jump on board with one and help sue the pants off of big red.
The idea of them taking my unlimited data disgusts me.

Yeah, even if a suit was won, it would probably be something like $20 and 3 months of unlimited. I got a notice once or twice that I was part of a class action suit that was won and what I got was something like $20 off my next bill. I never joined the suit and didn't even know it existed. I don't remember what company(s) it was, as it was a few years ago. A suit would either go nowhere or be insignificant.
Yeah, it's just funny watching everyone getting worked up, again, over this and threatening to sue when VZW is fully within their right to do this.
Like I said, #1 way to troll this forum is to start a rumor VZW is ending unlimited. This thread has 10 pages already. Well done.

My main concern would be getting locked into a contract of a carrier with spotty service/dropped calls....or buying a phone full-retail that I can't take back to VZW or somewhere else.
I can survive no problem on 1 gig of data...just have to be careful when I travel (or spend an extra 10 bucks for another gig in months I travel).
I just can't be sympathetic to the arguments and complaining when only about 3 years ago you had to really, really try to go over 2 gigs in a month. Even the vast, vast majority of complainers would not be overly put out or inconvenienced to adjust their usage habits.

There was the Verizon one where your receipt had the last 4 numbers of your credit card. That one got a choice of a free corded earpiece or 100 free text messages. The next one was being charged $1.99 for data you didn't use. Every month I'd call them, they'd credit me the $1.99 but when the suit was settled they knocked the amount charged over the years off again. I tried to tell them they didn't owe it (since I was always on the phone wanting my refund I found it only fitting to let them know when they messed up the other way). They said they had no choice but to refund again. I don't remember what the last one was but they gave me the choice to join or not and I declined. All I remember was it didn't affect me.
I was in a suit without knowing once with Sears and they ended up sending me a check for under $2 because I had closed my account years prior and they couldn't apply it to the balance. That was something about how they charged interest on their credit cards.

Except that AT&T isn't MAKING people give up their unlimited or telling them if they sign a new contract unlimited goes away, they just don't offer it any longer.
Who has VZW made give-up their unlimited data?

Well for one me. I was ready for an update and if I got a new phone and then signed up for a new 2 year contract I would lose unlimited data. I was able to keep it by buying my phone out right.

You were "made' to give it up because you entered into a new contract with a subsidized phone...Basically the contract was they will give you a phone at a cheaper than retail price, in return, you have to be binding to the contract. You weren't forced into it, you choose the situation. If you wanted the phone cheaper, then you had to give up unlimited.
What Kodiak was asking, i believe, was who has Verizon forced to give it up unlimited, outside of a new contract?
