Verizon Unlimited... AGAIN

Interesting that HD video streaming is included in the Verizon plan. AT&T, Sprint, and T-mobile all compress video to 480p.

EDIT: T-Mobile announced they will be matching/beating Verizons offer.



Their press release says it's an "introductory plan," what are the odds they repeat history by removing their unlimited plan soon and spend the next 5 years trying to force users to something else?


Is the HD streaming FREE or does it use DATA?

One phone unlimited is capped at 5GB. You get 128K after that. Not enough bandwidth to open the My Verizon app to pay for more data.
One phone on Verizons new unlimited plan has unlimited data.

You'll be de-prioritized after 22GB if the tower you're on is busy, which is a little different then throttling. If the tower you're on isn't busy you should have normal speeds even when over 22GB.

True for family plans, not the single line. Found that out the hard way. The single line is throttled to basically nothing the second you hit 5GB.
I would contact Verizon if that's happening to you, their unlimited plan doesn't have a 5GB limit... not even in the fine print.

I think it is impossible to predict the future in Verizon or Motorola based on the past in Verizon or Motorola.

I went with unlimited when I got the Moto Z2 Force with the 24monthpurchase plan.

My cost wen up by $5/mo and the new phone was $15/mo for 24 months instead of $31.50/mo.

I had Tasker profiles to control WiFi access ... on when in the office and off when away. I have now stopped using WiFi in the office.
