Title: Verizon 4g Unlimited Data Users Heads up
Post by: manwinc on July 30, 2014, 01:40:36 PM
October 1st they are going to start Throttling the crap out of 4g unlimited data users if they are out of their contract. Interestingly enough, the only way to resign a contract when you have an unlimited data plan with Verizon is to have 2 different lines and use the upgrade for the Unlimited 4g line on the other phone line. Retarded yes, but after 4.7 Gb they are going to grab our connection by the neck and start squeezing.

Very true, I would if I could. Every time I go into my local Verizon shop they look up how much data I use a month for giggles. They're like oh... Lets see, 1.2 TB This month. LOL

Heh, you go girl!  Keep sticking the fork into them until they bite back.  I miss their broad network, but certainly don't miss their broad egos.  ridden  --> done.

After Verizon tweaked my "grandfathered" unlimited account and pissed me off, I took the following away from them:

1) Me
2) My girly
3) My girly's younger girly i.e. The Daughter-like-thing
4) My sister
5) My Mom
6) My Dad

Well, Mom and Dad are on their way out.  Soon are following my Girly's parents as well.  So pissing me off caused them to give up at least 8 people.  Take that evil red death star!

I love when bots poke a sore subject thread...  lol

Me either.  I get pretty good download speeds from them.  At least as good as I was getting from Verizon.

I have been using Sprint for the past 4 years and have had no issues. This is the first phone company that hasn't screwed us after the first 2 years. We are no longer on a contract and saving $70 per month.

That was the biggest thing for me was getting rid of the greed of the subsidized phone scam.

Everyone should get off contract...  having no contract makes the phone companies actually respect their users as otherwise you just bounce to the next company.

Being on contract turns you into a guaranteed cash cow to be milked for as little service provided as possible, with no way out until the end that never comes with the next phone subsidy contract.

Man 1.2 TB over 4g? do you live out in the sticks and cant get a better provider?  When i go heavy on tv series and moves i get up that high as well but i use a normal ISP.

250GB/month makes my cable company cry.  That's so 2003...

This thread tickles me because I've been employed at Sprint for three months now and learned what goes on behind the scenes. It's true that Verizon has the best network nationwide and people pay through the nose for it. Unfortunately they're so big that they give less than a crap what customers think. I'm surprised by the t mobile comments.... I had them for seven years in four different states and the coverage was horrible everywhere. My wife kept me chained to them by constantly using both upgrades though. The final call to cancel was the highlight of that entire year. Btw, friendly words of advice - don't ever do anything at a Sprint store and don't ever believe that the customer service rep you spoke to on the phone knew what they were talking about or did what they said they would do.

This is the second time with T-mobile for me.  The first time the experience wasn't all that great.  It's wonderful if you do any global stuff.  During that time I was traveling to Germany and Korea, so it was very nice to have a phone that was global.  But for my main line, it just wasn't good enough, so I got rid of it and kept my Verizon line.  However, Verizon asserting its attitude toward us plebeans and thinking that all my money was theirs was a step too far for me.  So trying T-mobile again here in San Diego and frequented places in Nevada and Utah have been great experiences.  My sustained data rates on T-mobile were actually higher than my Verizon phone.  So am I happy with T-mobile today?  Absolutely.  Am I happy that I'm also paying 1/2 the price?  You betcha!  Verizon can kiss my butt.  Also, poetic justice for pissing me off Verizon: Me, Girlfriend, Girly's daughter, Girly's parents (3 phones), My sister, My parents (2x), 3 friends have left the Red Death Star.  We done hit the exhaust port and are waiting for the explosion!

Exactly EN!  Having a contract phone is a Jurassic leftover from the days when StarTacs were roaming the earth.  I bought my OnePlus One (https://oneplus.net/invites?kolid=NGCW4Z) that can be on any carrier (*cough except Verizon cough*) for a song.  Honestly, the phone wasn't much more than I would have been charged for that "free" upgrade you're supposed to get every 2 years.  My 2-year upgrade always seemed to turn into a $300 charge by the time they were done with me.

Currently I am still using  MetroPCS  .. they are now owned by t-mobile.    They have great promotional deals on GSM phones all the time,  I just get what ever is going to cost me $50-100 every 10 months or so and always have a great phone at a discount price  (ie when ever i drop it in the ocean in general)

After 90days they will give you the unlock code, or its a $1 off internet anyways.  Their coverage  is excellent here in south florida and I haven't had a problem else where.    For  just over $100 for 4 lines of 4g I am not complaining and its Month - month no contract.   4 Lines of all you can eat 4g data would be ~ $180.
