Bottom line said by ting:Ting might treat you better, but we would not be cheaper than your current plan
Seems to say it all.
I hit 6Gb to 12Gb on Data on some months... they can't touch it and I am grandfathered in on Verizon @30.00 a month for unlimited data.
(pipes in MC Hammer, can't touch this)

once they begin throttling it after X gigabytes it won't be worth more than $10 a month, if anything. verizon learned to monetize data from AT&T's anti-competitive tactics so paying for unlimited really is paying for limited, they just thread the needle a different way. |

Did you dream that up during a paranoid bad nights sleep or would you care to share a single shred of evidence?
(And FTR, in case it matters to anyone else suffering from delusional tel-com disorder) I do not use that kind of data all the time... most months are under a gig checking email but depending on the type of work or travel... I can really rack it up. I HAVE NEVER been subjected to, nor do I expect, any throttling. (And neither have some people's imaginations)

How do you abuse unlimited? |

| The MVNO has to pay per byte. In the US, we massively overpay for our cell phones just to have huge buckets of minutes and "unlimited" stuff, when we'd be much better off if we paid for what we actually used, but at a reasonable rate, like what Ting is doing. |

| I'm just going to assume your replying to someone else as it has nothing to do with my question.
Frankly its a really slimy thing to do, sell people unlimited then call them abusers for using it. |

EARTH | My point is Ting doesn't offer unlimited, and can't at a reasonable price, because they have to pay on a per byte basis to Sprint. Nothing is truly unlimited, even the local buffet. |

3 edits | Yes we know they don't offer unlimited.
Many do. |
