Except, the unlimited plan is way more expensive than my current limited plan and I never even come close to 20% of the limit.
To make matters worse, the discount I get from work would not apply to “unlimited” plans.
Am I the only person that thinks the FTC should crack down on the term unlimited. Now there are levels of unlimited at witch you are limited LOL
They should force them to identify the plans by their unthrottled cap and say there are no overage fees.
Seriously. It's like that car commercial that says at the end "Get 6 months of Apple Music on us!"
Lol, so I spend $45,000 on a car and as a reward, get a whopping 6 months of free Apple Music?
Get out.
Anyone know if when you cancel Apple Music, do you lose everything you’ve added to your library? Or is there a grace period where you can reactivate and get it all back?
Basically is there any downside to cancelling and repurchasing in order to get the deal?

Verizon is giving something away that they do not have to give away. It’s a freebie. And people complain.
Bundles are evil. Subscriptions are evil.
People, please do a personal budget. And pay particular attention to how much money you're spending on subscriptions.
And you should include your ISP bill, mobile phone bill, television (don't forget to count all of them (hulu, netflix, directv, dish, et al)), magazines (online too), your health club membership, touring bike club membership, your Amazon or Newegg subscription, your annual membership dues for your gun range, any gaming subs you have, all your Adobe software, Microsoft Office 365, all of your insurances, those music lessons (especially if you pay up front), extended warranties on cars, electronics, and appliances, and well, EVERYTHING that auto-bills you. If it auto-bills you for a set amount, then it's pretty much a subscription.
If it auto-debits from your credit card or checking account, then it's even worse. It's a subscription without ANY visibility for you!
Once you get that dollar amount, do some simple math and find out what percentage of your income after taxes you are paying in subscriptions. I'll bet you'll be shocked.

I agree with the subscription thing. However, when doing your budget, make sure you bucket the subscription type carefully into one of the following:
- need it to live
- extremely helpful to live
- will not die if I don't pay it.
I'll bet electric bills, gas bills, mortgage, insurance etc, go in the first category. Cell phones, ISP, fios etc go in the second category. While magazines, gaming, Prime, netflix etc, go into the third bucket.
I am on the family plan as well. Was wondering if you or anyone else found out how this would work?
