Got to have Gingerbread to work it. So waiting for the Dinc update even more now.

I have to admit, that's pretty slick of Verizon, to offer a streaming service AFTER, implementing tiered data plans.

I feel like if you pay $10/month for that service, then they shouldn't count that against your data. Like you said though, very slick of Verizon.

This is really REALLY sly.

"Enjoy unlimited, on demand access ..."

I say:

Wahoo! "UNLIMITED"

Oh ... wait ...

Quote:

"A data package is required, and the download and use of Verizon Video incurs data usage and will be billed according to the customer’s data package."

I say:

"DOH!!!!"

i see what you're saying, but how do you not have unlimited data??

i have met so many that are completely shocked by not getting unlimited data if they sign up now. how did you miss them going to tiered two months ago.

It is not a matter of if you have unlimited data or not.

The second word of the ad is "unlimited". I have "unlimited" access to programming. I can therefore watch any and as much programming as I want.

Oh wait ...

You can't ... it is really tied to your data plan once you read the fine print.

Only in America is "unlimited" ... capped.
