“If you use an extraordinary amount of data and fall within the top 5% of Verizon Wireless data users we may reduce your data throughput speeds periodically for the remainder of your then current and immediately following billing cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and times of peak demand.â€
That should be fun for all the iPhone users excited to not need AT&T!
Low data users -- which is the vast majority -- have been subsidizing data hogs for years due to unlimited (ostensibly unlimited) plans. At least now instead of dumping that excess money into some stranger's pocket and getting no benefit from it they'll be putting it into Verizon's pocket and perhaps getting a more reliable network out of it.
I use less than 1MB a month, so I go prepaid and nobody rips me off.
