Verizon does not understand the definition of the word UNLIMITED !!
UNLIMITED means there is/are no LIMIT.
I bet a lawyer will love to jump on this and sue Verizon in a class action lawsuit representing the millions of Verizon customers, current and former who are paying for or have paid for Verizon's UNLIMITED plans. Code:

Something for here
Sneaky ways businesses rip people off http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...ght=businesses As always read the fine print constantly Just like the free offers theres always a catch its across the board as you'd expect Verizon Beyond Unlimited. Price: $75 per month and up. The fine print: The amount of 4G LTE data is unlimited, but your speed could be throttled once you hit the 22GB mark for the month. ... Mobile hotspot capability is unlimited for the first 15GB, but speeds are throttled after that. Aug 22, 2017 So they started with true unlimited and are now clawing it back with changes Typical big business ethics in play https://www.wired.com/2017/08/verizo...ares-carriers/ Last edited by buttsie; June 15th, 2018 at 10:56 PM.. |

Cable companies and phone companies lead the list of organizations most people would prefer to get hit first by a nuclear missile.

Hasn't happened in months now, I'll just keep my fingers crossed. Some of it you know is due to the fact that they are moving cable and connections about, due to repairs or new construction somewhere. You'd think being internet companies, they'd have an app you could stick in the tray, and they could auto-notify their customers with a pop-up when scheduled work was likely to cause an outage. If I knew in advance, I could plan around it, and wouldn't have a multi-hundred megabyte download get cut off right in the middle, which has happened more than once.

I have AT&T DSL...yes, still on DSL. It's the only real choice I have outside of cable or cell phone company internet...which has the same throttling problem mentioned by the OP. I have a hotspot through my cell phone company, with a 10gig data limit, which lasts about a week, two if I'm cautious, before it gets throttled. My DSL will drop off all the time. Works just fine for hours, then drop on and off several times, then pop back on like nothing happened. I've spent hours on the phone with AT&T support, only to be told there's nothing wrong. As I told one tech support guy, if the problem was my modem, or something in my computer, etc etc, it wouldn't just pop back on by itself, it would go off and stay off. The problem is definitely on AT&T's end of things, I think they either don't know what the problem is, or don't want to spend the money to fix it. I was told the first time I contacted AT&T support that we would be getting U-verse here. That was several years ago, and still no U-verse. Not that U-verse being unavailable here has stopped them from sending me junk mail and spam emails non-stop trying to sell me U-verse.

Those fuckers.
One day back in December while I was out with my family at the movies and I had my phone on silent, my phone kept ringing. By the time I looked at it at around 6 pm, it showed I missed a dozen calls from AT&T, the same # I have stored in my contact list for AT&T support is the # shown on my caller ID each time. All calls were made between 1 pm and 5 pm. But they didn't leave a voice mail. I call that same # back and no one could tell me why AT&T was calling me. I was also asked are you sure it's AT&T calling you? Maybe it's a spoofed #. Sure! What a coincidence some telemarketer just happened to spoof the phone # for AT&T support that's stored in my contact list. Then I opened my AT&T email and there is an email saying I need to contact tech support right now because there is a technical issue with my internet service. Of course when I told the same AT&T rep about that email, she also had no idea what I was talking about. Furthermore, the people you talk to when you call AT&T tech support or billing, they are in either India or the Philippines and their English sucks and their comprehension of the English language also sucks: they don't understand what you are telling them and they only know to respond to you using the script on their computer screen. Then about a month ago, on the 18th, I logged into AT&T to see if the new bill has been posted - the new bill is always posted online between the 17th and the 20th. No new bill yet. But on top there is a message system that will show you a 1 or a 2 to tell you you have unread messages and those messages are usually to tell you about a new plan or some advertisement crap. Well that day there was a 1 and not the usual grey 1. It was RED with an exclamation mark also in RED. I open it and it's telling me your account is scheduled for termination, contact billing now. I said WTF? I pay my bills on time. It's showing 0 balance since my last payment almost 25 days before and still showing 0 balance. If a NEW bill has been generated but not posted on the account website yet, I still have at least 14 days to pay. I contact AT&T using the ONLINE CHAT and of course they don't know shit. Same answer: your account is in good standing. I don't see a termination order for your accont. The guy said he will mirror my account page and he put me on hold and he came back and said he could see that big RED 1 with an exclamation mark in RED and he could see the message telling me the account is scheduled for termination but he couldn't tell me why. To this day, whether it was the deal in December or the deal from a month ago, my service has never been terminated. Of course these are just 2 instances of the BS I had to put up with AT&T in past 8 years. The only other internet service available to me here is Spectrum, formerly Time Warner Cable/RoadRunner and they suck even more than AT&T. AT&T just bought Time Warner but it's not the Time Warner Cable/RoadRunner now called Spectrum internet service. |

There is no such thing as unlimited; as Buttsie says, we've got to read the fine print ALWAYS. Even if they don't say "unlimited", there are limits stated in the fine print. Of course would be great a gigantic lawsuit against companies because of this, but unfortunately that won't happen, because they're not fools; they usually state the limits on th fine print to avoid this.
The usual marketing crap, which they keep doing because people fall for it.
