Verizon Killing Unlimited Data Plans
« on: May 19, 2011, 07:20:48 PM »
They're going the AT&T route. T-mobile already throttles after a few GBs too. If they're allowed to be bought out by AT&T, woe be unto you users. Only Sprint(I <3 U) remains truly unlimited. They give you all these powerful phones and then have you counting kilobytes. I just got Netflix & WatchESPN for Android on my EVO so I'll be damned if this were to happen to me. Get grandfathered into a contract people.

I was gonna get a unlimited data deal with our family contract until they told me it was $30. I gave them a big "you're out of your fuckin' mind" on the way out.
This my BOOMSTICK!

Wow.  That blows donkey milk.  So now I'm either stuck on the plan I have, with the phone I have, indefinitely.  Or I've got to go to Sprint?!  ???

I love my Evo.  Except for yesterday when a big ol glob of yogurt got dropped onto my screen and I had nothing to wipe it off.

my cell company started a new program that you pay one price for unlimited text, email, web, pics, calls, everything for one price aline and you get "points" for doing what ever and in 10 months youll have so many point to get a new phone with out resigning contract. and its actually liek 7 bucks a month cheaper then what we were paying. only freaking thing is the damn 30 bucks a month per line for android.  >:(

That sounds...interesting.  But not necessary for me, I probably don't even need the Evo.  But it sure is nice!

Even if grandfathered in, AT&T is still fucking unlimited users:
