I’m holding out for Ludicrous Unlimited. You know, the one that truly is unlimited in all ways.
Can't switch to any of these plans, if I do I loose my 17% employee discount. For the amount of data we use (not that much) we are better off on the older plan we have with the discount.
Do none of you 10GB+ people use WiFi?
This is a legit question, as I’m genuinely curious.
I fail to use beyond 3GB a month, and I stream loads of YouTube and radio and surf the web. Granted I don’t use FB much and I know it’s a data hog, but it’s mostly on WiFi though. Heck, I can even stream DirectTV NOW data free, because I’m with AT&T and they own DirecTV NOW.
Are you people streaming at work? In the car? Are you in school? Because otherwise, if you’re at home, I imagine you’d be on WiFi, yes??
Too bad we don’t live in Australia where you can do false advertising. That is unless you want a hefty fine.Stop calling limited "Unlimited".
Why is this allowed?
That is their plan to purposely confuse people as most people correlate 4G LTE with speed. There is no other reason to put in the "4G LTE" in the "Unlimited 4G LTE Data" and instead just say "Unlimited Data."
Imagine if car rental companies offered Unlimited Miles and then put in a disclaimer of saying "After 500 miles your car will be throttled to bicycle speeds."
I am tired of the abuse of the word "unlimited". How stupid do these companies think their customers are?
This is so stupid, should be called limited. I wonder how John Legere will respond

Unlimited unlimited?Less Unlimited. Somewhat unlimited. More unlimited.
Eventually, we might get an actual unlimited plan.
If it was truly unlimited data, you could use as much data as you possibly can per month. With these restricted plans, you can only get as much data as they throttle and allow you to. You are in fact limited per month.Nope. I get the anger, but it is unlimited data, just at a reduced speed. Unless you are trying to further muddle the definition of unlimited.
But you would still be limited by time, for example. Or bandwidth in general since it's still not infinite allowing you to use it at infinite speeds. So basically with that kind of thinking you are still limited no matter what.If it was truly unlimited data, you could use as much data as you possibly can per month.

Yes, the amount of data that could be used in 1 months time on a truly unlimited plan vs. a restricted throttled plan shown on a chart would explain it much easier. I’m guessing the difference would be pretty significant.But you would still be limited by time, for example.

I use GoUnlimited. Perfectly OK with it. I don't need to stream movies on my 5 inch or whatever X screen.
That said, I don't understand why everyone is using the word unlimited when it's not? Sure, it's unlimited.. BUT.. they throttle you eventually.
Not knowing what the bandwidth is like at different times and places, and factoring in that it's not throttling that happens but deprioritization, and only at times when there's higher than usual congestion and only in places where that is the case, it would still be quite different than the theoretical contemplations.Yes, the amount of data that could be used in 1 months time on a truly unlimited plan vs. a restricted throttled plan shown on a chart would explain it much easier.

After 75GB, your speeds will only be slowed down if you are in a congested area – people who have used less data will be put ahead of you on the tower.
Exactly, if they throttle past 22GB for example, then that plan should not be stating it is unlimited. Trust, not trying to make a big deal out of this, but it is misleading. And it should not be tolerated in the first place.

Someone needs to sue Verizon for misleading advertisements. It should be illegal for this company to operate with the names of these plans like they do.
I don't know if Verizon has ever throttled me. I use between 40-60 gigs a month. This month with the World Cup starting, I'll easily push 100. My billing cycle started on the 10th and I'm already at 14 gigs.
