Verizon beings unlimited data throttle - Your response?

[BlueSami]

that i am paying 30 dollars a month for unlimited 3G data so i EXPECT 3G speed not 1G speed

This brings up a very valid point. I would like to see someone argue this.

The feature is called unlimited email and web for smartphones. Speed has nothing to do with it.

They'll tell you you weren't promised any speed. Then what? I'm not trying to be difficult I'm just telling you that they're doing what you agreed you'd let them do. But more respect to you if you actually complain to them. Many just complain on here haha

I don't think its fair that they consider 4G data as part of your 2GB allowance. I could blow through 2GB using 4G in about 5 minutes, however it would take way longer on 3G. I just checked and apparently I've used 2.5GB so far this month trying out 4G on my new bionic. Since they only throttle 3G, I think they should only count data u've used on 3G towards the 2GB cap. Other than that, I think what they're doing seems pretty fair.

The only difference between 4g and 3g is speed. So if you download a 50mb file on 3g it will still be 50mb on 4g

well... it's the truth isn't it? Data and speed are not the same. Not a difficult concept, no politics involved haha

I wouldn't pay 30$ a month for 1x speed.

Speed is not in the equation. I think you're just confused as to what you signed up for.

The fact of the matter is you're paying for unlimited data in general...not unlimited 3g or unlimited 4g.

Neither would I. That's why I'm not paying for speed. I'm paying for data.
