Took a LONG time to get through to someone this morning via chat OR phone, but I did it. I got tired of always needing to turn off cellular data during the last week of each month in order to make sure I didn't go over my 6GB allotment.

6gb of data allocation for anyone is ludicrous. Silly that all these carriers make the internet so fast but over the years limited it down to where you all but can't use it.

You can. Just gotta pay for it.

I am paying for it. Have grandfathered unlimited data, not the new one, unlimited hotspot, and talk and text. Over $200/mo lol at moment I'm debating if it's worth me being "de-prioritized" for so much more or make jump to the "new" unlimited

Verizon told me it won't happen often and you won't notice anyway. It's not the same as throttling.

Well this month I'm on track to has 25gb total. I've used as high as 70ish on trips with kids iPads tethered etc. My MBP and IPP rely 100% on iPhone hotspot when not at home; neither have mobile data independently. Next time I get IPP tho I am getting data version.

Not sure why but for me and some others it's advertising at $65. MUST be a glitch

Screenshot from me and one from someone else.

I thought about this because of LTE tethering and HD streaming. But with Tmo stepping up with that today, no way in heck I'm giving up 4 lines of unlimited for $120 with them.

I definitely wouldn't...too bad they're not reliable where I need them to be

They weren't for me for a long time. I did a test drive a few years ago. Was bad. Did a test drive again a year ago and it was night and day difference.

That's awesome!!! Hopefully I'll get my chance...until then I'm happy throwing money at Big Red

Yeah, "Verizon said". Just a few months ago they said they would never do unlimited and, well, here they are. There's plenty of wiggle room in their statement on throttling and deprioritization.
