[Updated] Verizon To Officially Reveal Tiered Data Plans July 7th; Plans Leaked Below

It may say unlimited on paper, but don't be surprised when you start getting throttled after 2GB and your 4g speeds are slower than 3g speeds.
 
are we fighting? didn't realize. sorry if you got defensive, could be a problem on your end not mine. the truth of the matter is calling people gullible, making reference to lube and basically telling people they're stupid for agreeing with verizon is insulting...

if you don't like it you can leave verizon. whining about it, and then paying your bill every month like a good boy makes you look more foolish then the "gullible" ones who see why verizon is doing what they're doing.
no if you read my post I said verizon was the best I just want what I paid for .

you get what you pay for
not for long and aren't you the Guy thought you were going to family. plan of 2gb for ten bucks yea it is you yeah it is you little off on that one huh boss
 
I'm not insulting any one just stating my opinion. whichyou yourself have no problem doing sir and please don't start fighting over the computer because that's weak

and I do apologize if I did offend somebody

None of us could be correct for any of that matter. The only way we will see the real answers is to wait it out. I don't think Verizon would screw their customers badly enough to cause mass droves to leave. That being said just wait for the "medium" point of all of this.

PS..... no apologies necessary. Some things just get under peoples skin.
yeah your right nobody's going to change my mind or visa versa so how everyone is happy in the end yes even you Mr dill
 
verizon has been talking about doing this for at least 7 years when i got my first WinMo phone and data was still measured in Mb. so blame tether users all u want but they are not the cause, at&t pulled the trigger and verizon finally said if they can do it and make crap loads of money from it why cant we

If you use your smartphone "honestly", you can use 2GB really quick. I like to stream internet radio audio in my vehicle and at home a fair amount. Even using it back and forth to work for 10 minutes a time or a handful of times for 15-30 mins a time gets me to 4-5GB real quick. Keep in mind that's not streaming it for several hours a time. One month I used 10-11GB "honestly" (w/ no tethering) when I was recording music w/ the Radio Rip app. Right now I'm at 3.16GB w/ a week left in my billing cycle and I don't think I've streamed a whole lot.

Anymore confirmations from Verizon that they can't yank you out of your current unlimited data plan if you upgrade your phone POST 7/7?

Thanks!
 
3 weeks into my billing, I've used 0.033 GB of data. Why do I care if they limit me to 2 gb, I don't even use 1?

While you may not care, and many less-power user won't either, there are also many others than use 2GB+ data a month legitimately, myself included. When I added the new expense of a smartphone, I made it worth it by using it to its fullest. I got rid of my ipod and now stream a lot of music. I sync a lot of stuff to the cloud. I watch videos when I travel. The bottom line is that they are providing less for the same price. Obviously without unlimited, its always going to be less, but the $30 price point could have been something a little more than 2GB. And for users like you, they could offer a smaller package for less than $30. But of course they would never do that because that means ton of people paying the required $30/mo would now start paying less, and they'd lose money.

but are there really "many" that use 2GB+ legitimately or not? the numbers would disagree with you. if 95% use less then 600MB and 99% use less then 5GB, I think it's a safe assumption that not many people use 2GB a month. It does suck for those like you that do, but again, you are the one in the minority (and a very very small minority at that)...

Thats just doesnt seem to be true though. Fact is Im not what you would consider a heavy user and I dont tehter. I used 1.4 gigs last month on 3g. I know for a fact that I would use more on 4g, becasue some stuff on the phone is just too slow for me so I dont do it. Im sure on 4g I will easily use more then 2 gigs of data.

<----------(throws hat up into the air) hip hip hooray we're paying more for less woohoo

you are not a new customer. Therefore nothing has changed for you

Play your cards right and nothing will change in the future either. If you can't figure that part out then yes your original statement is true

Problem is what cards? Upgrade now to a mediocre phone with 4g or roll the dice and hope they dont consider going from 3g to 4g a plan change. I wish I had more clarification on that. All that aside though I still dont think what theyre doing is right and I will no longer be able to reccommend Verizon to anyone, I just think theyre getting too expensive and they have done too many things in the last year that dont seem to have to customers best interest in mind, I know theyre a business and they have to make money. But also there has to be a point where you consider customer satisfaction.
 
This is not saying that people who burn more than 5 gigs don't do it honest. I can see during a vacation or a busy month going over 5 gigs on the phone alone. But tier is here and it would not be a bad idea to get a DSL ....ogle cable modem. But with that said I pay 60 for high speed through my cable company and 30 for data on Vzw. If I was to get the 80 gig plan through Vzw it would be cheaper then what I am paying now combining high speed data both Vzw.
