They have since they don't charge overage. They just throttle after you reach data cap. In my case that's 25gig plus tethering.
Not seeing the appeal with Verizon and cdma.
Got a tip for us?

In regards to streaming quality, it will be full HD quality. That is from Verizon CS just now via DM (Twitter...for those wondering).
I said for ages that Verizon would have to pull the grandfathered Unlimited Data plan out of cold, dead hands...
Well, that changed today. I switched over to this new unlimited plan. I had my plan and my daughter's plan and I have now combined the two and we can both have the unlimited data, plus I save $60 per month. In this case, I have made an improvement and don't feel like I lost, but rather made a gain.
On another note, I'm still peeved at how Verizon kept trying to "rate" us grandfathered folks out of the original plan. I'm glad I resisted as long as I did.

Only discount that applies to this plan is the 15% military and retired/vets discount
And on a related note, how come new lines or users can port their number over to a free new iPhone, but as a current user I have the option of $30/month or paying nearly $700 retail? I've been a loyal customer through 4 name changes and 20+ years...I get no breaks? And I lose my government employee discount on the new plan?
I'm in this category as well, but we typically don't go over (though we've come close). Seems like 16gb/mo. plan (with overage protection) is still better for me.
I'm locked in to my grandfathered pricing for many years. Main line for 110 plus 30 for true unlimited data.
2nd line for 10 dollars plus 30 for true unlimited data. No tethering unless I pay extra. What will I lose or gain if I switch to the new type of unlimited data which just came out today?
Thank u in advance.
It would be better to talk with Verizon directly about your current plan vs comparison of the new plan offer.
I just switched from the 24 gb plan to unlimited. No up front costs, and my bill remains the same with auto pay.
I am sorry but 10G for LTE 4G is NOT unlimited.... UNLIMITED would be UNLIMITED 4G LTE and not a downgrade to 3G... .... and for the record for whatever Verizon rolls out... AT&T is sure to follow with something similar if not better soon enough...
Unlimited LTE speeds, not 2G, with t mobile one in canada and mexico (I am using it in mexico and have used about 20gb so far this month) verizon is 500mb per month. Here in our house in a very small pueblo I get about 20 megabits and telmex dsl is about 1megabit) so it's great for me. Naturally there is a disclaimer of prioritizing at 28gb but I am not in an area to worry about that, small place with fast lte speeds.
120.00 a month us for two lines including taxes, etc.

So 4 lines is $45 each. Does each line get their own 10gb of tethering or is shared among all 4 lines?
Me too. Bag phones were more dependable than the first hand held mobiles.

You need to read the tos again. You have it all wrong.
I hate to tell you this but you will turn purple before you get some to understand this.
I am finding that out. I don't understand why so many are struggling with the clear terms.
Completely disagree. Had the ATT - T-Mobile merger been allowed you would have had intense competition among both Verizon and the merged companies. Many people choose not to got with T-Mobile due to coverage issues. Google fiber has been halted since the implementation of "net neutrality". As long as the government will impose price controls on a sector you will get nothing other than stagnation.
Because Verizon created this* unclear terms monster * so no one trusts them anymore.
Were you on contract or no? Will they let people out of contracts that are on the old UDP?
Verizon seems to be getting hit hard, as the app won't load now. Several times it said I wasn't connected to the internet when I was, and just now it gave me an error and said try back later.
Because people see what they want to see, not reality. Not even anything new.
What is legally relevant, is what the tos states, as that is what we will be held to and what Verizon will be liable for.
I think many are making this harder than it needs to be. And some are complaining and seeing magical words that aren't there, just because (insert various logical fallacy reasons here)....
Ok, had to join in on the fun. My first post on this forum. I read these daily and really enjoy the posts. Now with that over with. Here's what I found out:
For me, this plan is about $96 taxes included. I'd save about $5 a month compared to my current 6 year old grandfathered plan. I pay $101 for an old 450 minute ($39.99), 1000 text plan ($10 add on) with a $40 data add-on from the old blackberry days. Taxes, fees and "Verizon surcharges" bring it to $101. I'm on a public employee discount (18%) plan. Tethering is an extra $30 on mine and it's free on the new one, that might tip the scales for me.
I've been buying my phones outright for 4 years to stick it to VZW so I don't need a new phone.

This looks like a fair deal. I'm hoping AT&T rolls out a matching plan to compete and I'll jump on board.
