(the 20gb pricing is on another dl post) There is no throttling on 4g.
5gb between three is not due-able. I find it easy to use 2gb without even trying. 10gb between three is probably due able but then there’s not much room for fun stuff. Whats the point of 4g if you cant stream netflix or do anything with it?
And everyone is comparing price between VZ and VZ and some claim to save money and some don’t. Im thinking of going off contract nexus phone and a GSM carrier. I bet you ill get unlimited 4G with tmobile and save more money than everyone. Sure ill be with tmobile, or may be Sprint once they get the birds off their towers.

Yeah, their analyzer app doesn’t go higher than 10gb so I wasn’t aware they even offered packages that high. I thought you were talking about data caps. If you’re really using that much data on unlimited I’m amazed they aren’t throttling you already. But I can’t blame you really, I would probably do the same thing if I didn’t have fiber at home.

Sometimes you don’t have as much choice as you think. I’ve been on T-Mobile since 2008 when they first released the Android G1. I just switched back to Verizon this year because they’re the only ones offering a decent phone with keyboard (Droid 4). I would have stayed with TMo but my TouchPro2 was just not keeping up with the times.

So yeah, I would drop Verizon like a hot potato, if TMo had a comparable phone to the Droid4 -5 row keyboard, 1GB RAM, fast CPU, etc…

unless your “girlfriend”(socks don’t count) is like 4 ft 10 inches then she is underweight. Tell her to eat a couple donuts…

I was with Verizon for four years because it was the only one that would work where I live but I moved and switched to T-Mobile and get perfect service. I’m happy I switched.

Yes, but what good is it if you get charged 50 dollars to share 1gb! I’ve used 6gb this month alone and I’ve still got a week left on this billing cycle!

In other news: Verizon covers 340+ cities with LTE within less than 2 years.

Not just VZW, all carriers. Look in the past, when consumers first started buying cell phones. Do you remember the minute allowances? For $100 you got like 500 minutes a month. Eventually over time, when a market settles, and less people are buying the technology, carriers need to start undercutting each other in order to attract more customers. So eventually (5 years) the price per GB will definitely come down, guaranteed. Right now all carriers are charging really high prices per GB, but when less are less customers are added every month, they will need more incentives, and the only way that can offer that, is by lowering the price per GB.

For those of us with Verizon, our 3g is slower than an elderly with a broken hip.

I don’t wanna hear that from a carrier that throttles you down to edge.

With the share everything plan mobile hot spot comes included with no additional cost (unlike the older plans) to the plan, thus encouraging people to tether and consequently make more money for them.

i clearly stated 20gb. 20gb is $50 more than 10gb.
$90 per line right now, that the cheapest you used to be able to get unlimited text unlimited data (remember unlimited data was additional $30, the starting cost of 2g). Its actually probably less since we share minuets i think. But lets assume the most expensive. so 90×3=270.
Now with the new pricing. its $40 per phone x 3= $120 +150 = $270. So while i MAY not use 20gb this is just to prove you are getting less for more.
Now I do 20gb. I used 2gb yesterday downloading a game off steam. Not to mention the other 2 lines.
Netflix? That fluctuates. Sometimes i use it a lot, sometimes i dont.
And im not one of those “its your fault this happened” cause id be happy to play nice with my data if i had decent internet connection at home. But VZ stopped installing fios 2 streets over like 5 years ago. 4g is faster than my DSL and my only option. When I get fios ill switch to shared data at 5gb or something.

if you think BMI or any useless nonsense the government spits out about health is reliable, I feel sorry for you. Keep eating your 8 servings of ‘whole grains’ and get fat and die young of diabetes. Enjoy your government sponsored health recommendations.
