Verizon's Unlimited 3G Data Users Get Throttled Too

[ken kaniff]

Thats why I have sprint!!! I know coverage is bad for some, but its great for me. One month I used 30 gigs. Never been hassled, never been throttled. $95 a month for me for totally unlimited data at full speeds they can provide. Ive played xbox live games on their 4g and tonight I played wow on 3g because cable modem fried. Thats why I love sprint. Never looking anywhere else unless they decide to chang things on me....

My 3G with verizon is generally pretty fast. I mostly use wifi and rarely go over 1GB even though I have unlimited data. I'm looking forward to data sharing.

currently I'm paying 18€ for 4G 100mbps completely unlimited.

I'm in Canada and I try to use up my full bandwidth of 6GB a month so I get what I payed for LOL I think I used 3GB in one day before when my land line went down and was downloading Windows 8 Preview which was a waste of bandwidth I must say LOL I like to stream music off internet with my Blackberry and put my ear buds in my ears and go for a walk. Very easy to use 6GB even without downloading for me

Great, it sounds like if I upgrade from a grandfathered unlimited 3G plan to a 4G phone I can keep the unlimited data. Am I reading this correctly? I have no current plans to upgrade to 4G, as my dinc2 is a solid phone, but if this is true I may think about it in the future.

When I travel, I easily eat through 5GB in a month using 3G. Between Pandora and Netflix it is easy to do.

I still can't wait to see if low frequency 'super' wifi takes off. That could be a game changer.

If I had a smartphone, I might do that (my family is on Verizon) at the end of the month if I have bandwidth to spare, just as a way of annoying them. They deserve it.

Fyi, at least right now, you get double the data for the same price with 4G phones. For instance, the base plan is 4GB for $30, not 2GB.

You will not lose unlimited data if you upgrade to a 4g phone. I even bought smart phone with limited data then switch phones with an existing line and kept the unlimited data on the old line

Doesn't seem like US mobile users have a good place to go for true unlimited mobile data. I'm paying way too much for unlimited that isn't.
