When you have to be a smart ass to make a point your point is usually wrong.
If it were truly about congestion they would throttle you or cut you off.
This is where it help to know the topic of which you are discussing. Verizon's 700MHz LTE is on the lower C block which has special rules. And those rules specially prevent Verizon from doing those very things.
(a) Applicability. This section shall apply only to the authorizations for Block C in the 746-757 and 776-787 MHz bands assigned and only if the results of the first auction in which licenses for such authorizations are offered satisfied the applicable reserve price.
(b) Use of devices and applications. Licensees offering service on spectrum subject to this section shall not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee's C Block networkThey would also not sell absurdly large buckets of data.
They sell up to 50 GB and it costs $375. How many single line or 2 line customers can they possibly have for that? Also you can have up to 10 devices on an account so 50 GB/10= 5 GB each.
Yea they break the 700mhz rules all the time. nexus 7 LTE? well good luck with that one.
Or they don't throttle, YouTube says other wise.
Verizon does what ever it wants, they didn't give all of NYC FIOS they those so called "rules" told them to, so why on earth does anyone think they wouldn't break the speed limiting one or any of the other 700mhz rules. Who can prove that they are really are breaking them?
You could use 1TB on that 50GB plan at $15 per GB and use that at peak times to screw every one else over. T-Mobile has folks using 300+GB and they are the fastest 4G LTE network speed test wise. How can that be?
110 mill VS 40-42 mill ok so 1/3 of the customers, smaller foot print able to use unlimited data for $30 a month VS $40 for 1GB on Verizon's share plan. Tell me how Verizon is slower and sells LESS data for MORE how does this make for such a gap?
It's because Verizon doesn't care a dump about speed at this point, only a nice little map that is total BS.
I know if/when they kill my unlimited, I will quit because there is no point for some one in city to sign up for such small caps at rip off pricing when they could get unlimited for less than the freaking 1GB plan. I don't even want to see there other pricing.
