Lol, slippery indeed. Is it me or does it sound like VZW is more concerned about those data intensive devices than they origionally let on (al-la at&t and apple)? But what stinks is I'm on my Droid surfing and downloading way more than making phone calls...trouble...trouble and I'm not always in a hotspot area either.

I understand why verizon is doing this, but its just unfortunate that the majority of us have to suffer because of heavy users. I think they should keep it as is, but for people that go way over (15 gb +) they should just get an additional charge on their bill

If Verizon didn't stiff people without data plans so hard by charging $1.99 per MB then not so many people would need th eunlimited data plan. Also they are making most phones require data when they don't really need it.

yes im a restard for stating that verizon over charges for there data without a plan (which they do hence why the FCC is looking into it) and the fact that phones that previously did not require a data plan (like the env touch which launched not needing a data plan yet 5 months or so later mysteriously needs one) now need one for no reason. yep my post are dumb and contain no fact.....wait thats yours i forgot.

Anyone who didn't see this coming or expect it to take place once 4G happened, falls into the NAIVE category.

The market is drained on calling plans now, so greedy companies like VZW have no choice but to squeak out more money before the inevitable unlimited all plans hit, by putting restrictions on data in order to make more money. Any talk about bandwidth (on the largest 3g network) and anything else they come up with is BS. If you look at VZW's plans, they get you coming and going, there are no bargains or deals. They want you to not by data features, as those are OPTIONS. They want the guaranteed money so they want you to get a plan so that they have can have more max profit. They also want their stock to rise. This is why anyone who get's a text on their phone is being suckered into going for a text or data plan by them. Do not fall for the bait!

wow, yet another idiot. hey why dosent verizon just stop charging everyone for everything? wouldnt that be awesome? why should you the consumer have to pay for anything YOU use. why dosent everything just become free? wouldnt life be grand? retard. if you use it, you pay for it, if you dont, than get something else. companies are in business to MAKE MONEY and EXPAND. That would explain why VZW drops 5 billion in they're network every year.VZW FTW
