Verizon to introduce tiered smartphone data plans this month?

article published on 21 July, 2010

Last month, AT&T killed off the popular "unlimited" data plan for new smartphone users, instead creating tiered, capped plans. Verizon confirmed last month they were considering doing the same, and it appears they may be ready to do so before the end of the month, killing off their "unlimited" 5GB data plan in exchange for tiered plans.

I really hope they don't grandfather me...Verizon is turning to crap quickly, as their competition has caught up while offering lower prices. When I got my droid, average 3G speeds were over 2mbps...now I am lucky to get 1.6mbps...seems like even without a cap, they are trying to drop my speeds so low that I can't watch video anyway.

that shit wouldn't really make sense when verizon has said most of their smartphone users on average use 700MB per month. At best people will get to save 5 bucks and get stuck with limited plans. I had hoped they would be more reasonable with their lowest data plan if they did that but I guess monkey see monkey do.

Crap...and I was seriously considering replacing my Sprint contract with Verizon. I hate companies that offer you less service for more money.

Looking at my last 6 months of usage, I've broken 200megs twice...which would have totalled an extra $30 over my normal plan. So they'd get me for prolly an extra $60/year that they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Nice way to milk extra money from the rubes...I mean...customers =/.
