    I hope the whole $30 for life is true. I cant afford the plan we have now. I cant imagine it getting worse

    How do people use that much internet?

    I just checked mine and after 20 days, im i little over 1GB. How the hell would I get to 10GB?

    And I thought I used my internet a lot. Apparently not.

    I never go over 200MB. I'm almost always in range of wifi.

    lol, haven't been there for a few years. But yes, I use my house wifi and work wifi. When I'm at the gym I still get work wifi. Only time I really use 3g is when I'm running and on pandora, or using maps etc when I'm traveling or out on weekends.

    "As we have stated previously, Verizon Wireless is making some minor changes to data plans including those for new smartphone customers," Ken Muche, a Verizon spokesman, is quoted as saying by the LA Times "We will move to a more usage-based model in July. More details to come."

    LMFAO, yeah right!

    I work for the company and we are just following. ATT already has tiered data plans. If you think about it the average consumer comes nowhere near 3g. The people that do are tethering.

    Nice rationalization. Let's do what AT&T does!!!!!

    I was a VZW customer for four years. I left two months ago. I'm on T-mobile, where the service isn't as amazing, but my God it feels great to not be getting gouged every month.

    Fuck, when I was out of range for good internet, and thus using their wireless card internet, my bill was 250 a month. Then we moved, my wife got a job at the hospital that allowed us to discount our plan...and we were still paying 135/mo.

    Now that we moved to T-mobile, we are paying 85/mo. It's amazing how much fucking money I wasted on your company.

    Ummmm, I've never tethered (don't even know how if I wanted to), and I've gone over the 2GB limit 2 out of the last 5 months. And yes, I'm on WiFi at home and school (full time grad school so no work usage).
