Again........Verizon is a shitty shady company and like ATT.......they have 11 year old, antiquated, outdated plans that never changed with the times. This raping is what lines their poo-filled pockets. Once they both get with the program and ditch their 59.99/900 minutes plans with 30 bucks for ANY "usable" data plan, ONLY THEN will they be attractive.

However, sheeple will continue to think Verizon is the beez kneez even though they NEVER EVER EVER leave their metro area to put "the best network" to test.

Cell phones did not become realistic until they quit charging by the minute and started offering affordable plans that included enough minutes to be useful.
Once they made that change cellphones became ubiquitous.

The same thing will (needs to) happen with other devices like tablets.
The current pricing plans by the cell-phone companies are just unacceptable. When they become realistic, tablets will explode.
