| Re: It's a business said by ColorBASIC  :Evidently very difficult for Verizon and Comcast. Well to be fair to Comcast, at least they do not advertise their service as being "unlimited." Verizon Wireless still does, and should be sanctioned if they continue cutting off users.

| Having just bought the Verizon Wireless data plan in question...they are not hiding the cap by any means. It is on every single page that references the plan, and the sales reps will mention it to you when talking about the plan. I agree it's probably better to refer to it as the "5GB Plan," but they are certainly not hiding the details on the cap. | |

| Re: It's a business My experience with Verizon was opposite. 3 out of 4 sales reps I asked insisted that "unlimited" really meant unlimited. When I pointed out the clear statements to the contrary in their brochure, they said to ignore it; that Verizon really doesn't care what you do as long as you stay under 5 GB cap.
I think the 5GB cap is great, if that's all there is to it. What bugs me is all the roundabout language, restricting particular applications, and saying the 5GB quota is really just an "indicator" that those other terms are being violated. If this is just a word game to let them continue advertising a 5GB plan as "unlimited," I'm fine with that. What bothers me more, as an application developer, is that Verizon appears willing to let a lot of cheating go on, while waiting to step in and demand a piece of any application that achieves success. | |
