Chris: Based on the information that I provided, are you ready to make a purchase today?
You: I read an article on the net today that provides:
"Unlimited Data Plans and Features (such as NationalAccess, BroadbandAccess, Push to Talk, and certain VZEmail services) may ONLY be used with wireless devices for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access (including access to corporate intranets, email, and individual productivity applications like customer relationship management, sales force, and field service automation). The Unlimited Data Plans and Features MAY NOT be used for any other purpose."
You: Are you sure that there are no limitations?
Chris: Nope. Do you plan on downloading the whole library of congress or something?
You: I read that CyberNet (via Slashdot) notes that while Verizon advertised "unlimited usage" that it is now admitting the cap is 5GB per month? Is that correct? As you know, almost any web site you enter downloads something. Is it correct that there is a 5GB cap?
Chris: No there is not. You are welcome to try and see. We have a 30 day trial period.
Chris: Based on the information that I provided, are you ready to make a purchase today?
