AT&T data cap

[Eileen89]

Verizon FTW ... I know flame me

Before you start singing Verizon's praises I think you should read this as they are doing the same dang throttling crap to their unlimited customers as AT&T. At least AT&T is now allowing their customers 3GB of data before throttling.

Verizon Wireless strives to provide customers the best experience when using our network, a shared resource among tens of millions of customers. To help achieve this, if you use an extraordinary amount of data and fall within the top 5% of Verizon Wireless data users we may reduce your data throughput speeds periodically for the remainder of your then current and immediately following billing cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and times of peak demand. Our proactive management of the Verizon Wireless network is designed to ensure that the remaining 95% of data customers aren?t negatively affected by the inordinate data consumption of just a few users.

Shouldn't I get 5GB of data since I have a 4G phone?

Nope, you'll need a LTE device to get that.

Those of you on unlimited better not get used to it...word is as soon as this last batch of 2 year contracts ends that provided the unlimited data service, EVERY person will be moved to a limited data usage plan...because AT&T is under no obligation to provide unlimited data plans to people who are not under contract to receive such.

no u are always grandfathered in. because my contract just got renewed and i still had unlimited

Absolutely they do. However they only throttle based upon tower congestion, not the entire rest of the billing cycle. They've been pretty open about it.

They most certainly do.
