I'm still on the old unlimited plan from the 3G days, and hadn't yet made it around to signing on for the new plan. This doesn't make me any more enthusiastic to dump the old one.

I guess its time to go back to a dumb phone, and cut my bill in half (spending that half on far superior ComCast Cable internet).
Thanks, Verizon.

Verizon picks up in areas T mobile doesn't but video is much slower after throttling than T mobile but T mobile overbilled me so

Yep, saw that on Slickdeals. Today's the last day you can still get a "good" plan.
Hopefully it's not a surprise to anyone. A lot of people saw this coming when everyone started doing "unlimited plans" again. |

If you have Comcast internet then check out Comcast Mobile. They have two plans...$12/gig pay as you go or $45/mo unlimited. No line access fees for either. The great part is they use the Verizon network so coverage is excellent. We literally cut our bill by half and our coverage is the exact same as when we were with Verizon.

Man, my unlimited business plan is unlimited data, calling to anywhere in the world and text for $33 a month. It's $40 if I want to tether, $60 for unlimited international and $70 for international unlimited tethering. Works well.

That might explain why the current unlimited plan suddenly turned completely useless and unusable. I haven't be able to use my modem for a month at least, I can surf this site and my email, and everything else requires 10's of minutes to connect, if it connects.

I coughed up ~$450 for a new Samsung S8 last weekend. Costco currently has a $300 rebate for buying a new S8 in one of their stores. Works great.
FoxFi, the standard tethering app, does not work on the S8. Verizon-Samsung want you to use their built-in tethering app so they can control your usage. A few months ago, I moved everyone in the family to the newer 2017 unlimited plans. I hope they don't dump those plans. |

What did you expect. All these cord cutters still need high speed data to see things. In typical Verizon fashion they over promise and under deliver. They sell all these unlimited plans then wake up one day and see they can't support what they have sold. Same with their DSL service back in the day. They have to play the marketing game to maintain market share even if they can't support it. When they lose enough customers and can handle the load again a new marketing plan will appear.
The wheel goes round and round. |

Mobile data 'power users' have to be some of the most entitled motherfuckers on the planet. I know people who stream non stop, watch HD video as their primary source of entertainment/movies/etc.. and want to complain about $100/mo. I wish these providers would stop fucking around and just sell a real unlimited plan for these fuckwads for like $250/mo and give the rest of us low bandwidth users a break.
ETA: Turns out the guy above me is one of them. Good luck guy above me, providers are getting sick of your shit. Maybe there's some all you can eat chinese buffets you can hit up for dinner for the month, save some cash and buy some bandwidth. |
