Limiting video on all smartphones to 720p? But, if their network is so good....?
Pfft. Don't even look at Canada.
"Beyond Unlimited" Jesus. Call it "infinity plus one" or something equally as stupid next time. Now that you're here, where are you going to go?
What?!!? No 8k video on a 6" screen?
This is outrageous.

That's a good one. You should work in Verizon's legal dept.
This is why I've been arguing for monthly data limit plans!! Unlimited is always a lie.
At least with set monthly data plans, carriers don't typically play these games because they want you to go over your limit and be hit with fees, so they let you stream at the highest resolution possible.
I pay for 15GB/month, and I am free to use those 15GB however I want (mostly). In many ways, my "limited" plan is less limited than these so-called "unlimited" plans. No limits on streaming resolution. No throttling of the monthly allotment.
I don't want these unlimited plans, not any of them. T-Mobile is no better than the rest in this regard.
Just let me buy X amount of data transfer, and that's it.

Do you hear the iphone ring?
Ringing the tones of angry men?
It is the ringtone of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the video on demand
There is a life about to start
On the LTE Band!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the Verizon Bill
Is there a world you long to see....
IMO, Verizon should just raise its price and just offer a TRUE UNLIMITED plan with no caveats. Offer one unlimited plan at $90 without all these BS terms. We dont all have Verizon plans for price, we do it for quality! Give us the Gold Standard!
I like T-Mo and all, but their coverage doesn't cut it for me. I've switched back to AT&T and happy I did.
Wow, that sucks. Glad I'm with AT&T now. I can't imagine how any phone manufacturer, or internet streaming companies like YouTube and Netflix, are cool with this. This effectively devalues any phone with 1080p or higher resolution. Personally I like being able to stream in 1080p on my iPhone 7 Plus, whether or not I'm on WiFi.
I hear AT&T are actually building a Death Star. That thing can shoot planets n sh**I like T-Mo and all, but their coverage doesn't cut it for me. I've switched back to AT&T and happy I did.
Their accessibility is AMAZING... the number of times I've needed to contact them, not so amazing. They have serious flaws in their billing system and their training. I have 6 lines, I don't think one of them was set up properly where I didn't have to contact customer service to fix and I was given a lot of misinformation when I inquired about the specifics of promotions, adding/removing lines, etc. That said, the service in my area has been more than adequate and I'm saving a TON of money.
Got some friends in Canada, I've heard things are.. dire. And that words like "Rogers" are now used as cusses
Well someone's gotta do something about incoming meteors, since the government stopped funding for it.
I'm currently on grandfather unlimited plan paying $50 a month. I'm thinking it might be time to bail onto the currently unlimited plan, not the ones offer tomorrow.
720p? B.S. If I'm connected to youtube over HTTPS, how would they be able to decrypt the video stream and re-encode it?
How absolutely ridiculous. I'm an AT&T subscriber and I just know for sure that AT&T will follow suit. We absolutely do need more FCC regulation. Verizon and AT&T sucks!!!!!!!!
That settles it for me. I had hoped they would try to compete with T-Mobile on unlimited pricing. That's obviously not going to happen, so I'm switching with the next iPhone.
This is why I've been arguing for monthly data limit plans!! Unlimited is always a lie. - Care to share how unlimited is a lie? Are they saying you have unlimited data and then shutting you completely off at 22GB? Are you able to use 50GB? 100GB? 250GB? Yep. You are, therefore it is unlimited.
No throttling of the monthly allotment. - Last time I checked there is no throttling on the monthly allotment. Its called deprioritization, which is MUCH different than throttle.
Thanks for playing!
24 down is good. That is more than enough to stream HD video without buffering. Your upload is the part that is bad.
I use a VPN full-time anyway now that providers are able to monetize our browsing. No ATT, you can't have my data.
