Re: un-intended consequences

They're a bunch of pussies. What, is everyone going to go to the 10 gig plan on AT&T out of spite? The users who are willing to put up with coverage that's weak or nonexistant in many places already have T-Mobile or Sprint. Some might run to T-Mobile and come running back to Verizon days or weeks later when they realize their phone doesn't work much of anywhere and that Verizon's network is far better than T-Mobile's.

Their idiotic shareholders are also the ones who stopped FIOS expansion. A smart Verizon would unilaterally dump Unlimited data plans and go all-in on going 100% fiber on the wireline side.

on a "congested" node. There is no oversight to show that the nodes are actually congested. It's the same bullshit with caps on traditional ISPs. This excuse that it's because of congestion doesn't cut it until they prove that it is really what it is.

Good point I had forgotten about the debacle that is Verizon Fios.

said by Skippy25:

Be default all user on a congested node are "throttled". That's what happens to a network that is not built out enough to handle the capacity of subscribers they sell to.

I think the term "throttle" literally implies intentional downgrading of speed.

Thank you!!! The opinion mr guy is disgusting. Unlimited is unlimited. A contract is a contract and not holding the companies accountable for the contract they agree to because you are afraid they will take it away is pathetic. They are not doing it to be nice. They are screwing us and letting them get away with it because hey they could REALLY screw us is no way to live. If they want unlimited crushed then let them crush it but stand up and have some integrity and make them honor their end of the contract.

They can unilaterally change it at any time they want. If you happen to be in contract, then you would have the option of leaving with no ETF, but other than that, they can do whatever they want pretty much.
