Hey Nate, I work for VZW,
I have a Droid,
I have exceeded the "5G" limit easily w/ the droid, not tethering, just using the phone browser and it's apps etc..
I have also never heard of this, ever, I mean from VZW,
I have no idea what is "well known among many sites", means, but there is no soft cap.
I have not had any "trouble", for exceeding the 5 gig, this is because,


IT'S UNLIMITED DATA PERIOD.

Feel free to post a link to actual vzw info, if it exists, I would like to see it, it would be news to me.
I believe somewhere here, I did see posted the verbatum fine print of the SPDP, somewhere. I am sure it was somewhere on this forum, but yeah, I am always open to learning something new, so go ahead and post that I would like to see that.
Danky is quite correct here. I am a 10-year wireless industry vet and have been dealing with Verizon for most of that time, and the $29.99 Smartphone data plan is in fact, unlimited. There is not a 5GB hard or soft cap. They can do this because it is pretty damn hard to exceed 5GB on a phone. Even a phone with sick apps and html browser and all the other bells and whistles.
There tends to be confusion on this because of the 5GB cap on Mobile Broadband and Mobile Broadband Connect (tethering) plans.
