Santa Monica, CA | Why not? If you want to use it, why aren't you willing to pay for it?
Why should the rest of us subsidize your vanity? |

Re: Why not? im totally with you..
why should we pay for those other douchers? I dont care if you are paying for a data plan! can you believe these people who buy a data plan actually think they should be able to use that data for whatever they want?
what you're using that data for is now important and if you're going to facebook or some place with pictures whatever then you need to pay more...dont be trying to get stuff off my dime..!! |

Nobody is subsidizing anything. People pay good money for their bucket of data and just want to use it how they want. Is that so much to ask? |

Uh, don't users already pay for their data on these tiers? How would FaceTime not be included already in the 3GB tier? |

As I've outlined before, data comes in different qualities and value.
I agree that in general, if they're selling you 3GB of general-purpose data transfer, you ought to be able to use it on the device you purchased it for - but FaceTime's requirements may not qualify as ordinary use, i.e. relatively high upload speeds in a network that's designed for downstream performance. |

Anchorage, AK | Then why not do the same thing on home connections? Oh, right, the whole net neutrality thing that doesn't apply to mobile networks. |

Net neutrality theory needs to end, quickly, before it does even more damage.
If you think 150GB/250GB caps are bad now, wait until the Neutrality Police start enforcing "neutral" treatment, under IPV6. |
