Verizon is doing away with unlimited data plans

Android Central says it's nabbed an official document laying out the brand new Verizon data plans scheduled to take effect next month, and there's good news for those of you currently using an iPhone on Verizon with an unlimited plan: It looks like you'll be grandfathered in.

We weren't quite sure if that would happen yesterday, but if this document is real, Verizon will be going the way of AT&T and allowing those with unlimited data plans to keep them (presumably as long as they're not changed or added on to any other deals).

Elsewhere on the deals, the smartphone plan will start at 2GB for $30 a month, up to 10GB bandwidth for $80 a month. Mobile hotspot access costs $20 a month extra for 2GB on the hotspot.

Unlimited plans will still be available up to July 7, and those unlimited plans will continue even when you upgrade your phone in the future. So if you want to get in on an unlimited plan before the caps get put in, now's the time to do it. We'll keep ears open for official confirmation on this one, and you can read all the details over here.

Even though you are grandfathered in they will throttle your speeds if you use too much, at least that's what AT&T does from what I've heard.

I'm only on 3G but with Sprint I havent notice any throttling. For a while I used my cell phone to tether by modifying some files on the phone. I managed to download 50GB in a month and didn't hear any complaints.

wtf... talk about nickle and diming you for $20-80.. so other carriers already have this type of setup?

I'm severely disappointed in this.. then again I guess 5GB is quite a bit, but all month? I feel confident I use more than that.. maybe not, haven't really paid much attention.

my plan is up, so they'll change it next year regardless of my new contract?

curious if anyone uses their phone for the internet a lot and uses more than 5GB a month?

I use way more than 5 GB a month. I have sprint and the mobile hotspot and I use the hell out of it. Not to mention using it with mobile streaming apps like HBO Go, Jetflicks, etc.

I think it starts in 2 weeks actually

I may end up with a phone sooner than I wanted.. I use the hell out of some internet on my phone. I can't have a laptop every second of the day. spending $130 bones a month for my bill is enough of an expense... (everything unlimited..) spending $200/month, I better be getting a reach-around at least once per bill period.

I use way more than 5 GB a month. I have sprint and the mobile hotspot and I use the hell out of it. Not to mention using it with mobile streaming apps like HBO Go, Jetflicks, etc.

yeah, I would think 5GB isn't that much..

      fug the HATERS

      By t96 · Posted

      We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce).

      similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

      Like Kuechly….. still picking off QBs

      So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
