Verizon data plans leaked, unlimited users will be grandfathered in

The problem that I have with Verizon's data plans is that it (the company) states that 95% of its smartphone users dont consume 2GB/month of data. Verizon never included the VZ Navigator, V-Cast Video or V-Cast music in the data usage consumption catagory when it used unlimited data. Now that it has a capped plan, those features are now using billable data. What that means is that everytime you browse your favorite video clips, turn on the NFL mobile app and want to watch the game when you are away from home, need to get directions on an app you already pay $10/month for, or browse through music on rhapsody... you're being billed data. A full 3 hour NFL tv broadcast will eat up 90% of your 2GB allotment by itself. Verizon cant state that "less than 95%" of customers use less than that amount when they never included thoe apps in the data usage.

I thought tiered data plans would give customers a lower price data option to encourageca switch to smartphones. $30 for 2gb isnt ant cheaper than before. They need a $20 1gb option for light data users.

PS - This business model is so early 1990's dialup -- regressive it is. Remember back then when you had to count your minutes on AOL or Prodigy to make sure you didn't go over? Retards.

I just got my Verizon contract last week w/unlimited data. If at the end of the two years they say no more unlimited, it will be adios Verizon.

There is no such thing as "10 GB bandwidth."

You mean "The monthly data transfer is 10 GB."

I have yet to run into or see anybody at mc d or starbucks which both have free wi-fi use face time with their iphone 4s to be truthful I don't even see people with other phones with the front facing camera use face to face chat so in all who uses this function?

By the way, there never has been any such thing as an "unlimited plan." Verizon has ALWAYS had a 5gb data cap. They just called it unlimited.

Are these prices a joke?

Geeze, these plans make AT&T look like a deal in comparison. My prediction is that Verizon (as well as AT&T) will cripple unlimited plans more and more (e.g., no FaceTime, no Exchange server access) while being more aggressive at catching jaillbreakers from tethering devices.

Verizon's new data plans are even more restrictive than AT&T's. Verizon = Dirty rotten money grubbers, that's all I have to say. May they all rot in Hell, along with AT&T, for stealing money from their customers as fast as they can grab it.
