Verizon will throttle customers

I was just looking at there website a little while ago, I wondered how thy could keep offering that deal and I guess now I know thy rely can't.

 

Old news... they throttle those who exceed a certain limit.. been doing that for over a year..

 

That is why I haven't switched to "unlimited". After 22gb of data use they Will throttle you... I have 24 GB with carry over so I usually have about 30gb every month. Not throttled... Love the service, hate the company much like everything else... It's a shame really...

 

My contract with them expires next month! Need I say more?

 

It's in the fine print of the various unlimited data contracts, when they can/will downgrade but a lot of it hinges on the "equal acces" part and "possibly during peak periods in a given market"

Some say you can stream video at 3G but I contend you probably can't typically pull anything better than 512 or maybe 768 video sizes which to me just isn't worthwhile except on a smartphone or tablet.

 

They do throttle in certain areas I use about 100gb a month lol but all depends on what area in which speeds I get but still better than the 30gb I had before since I don't have to worry about going over

 

I and my son both have unlimited. neither one if us have experienced data throttle and we both use in excess of 100 gigs a month.

 

They [probably] won't unless you're over your allotment and you're in a market that is experiencing high data demand.

Have you actually measured your speed at various times?

 

We do measure here and there , but only out of curiosity. Verizon stated when we signed up that data would be throttled after 22 or 24 gigs , neither of us noticed any slowdowns so we decided to measure speed periodically. I have had some slow downs in metro areas but nothing that impacted my videos.
