I try not to get into those type of debates but have been lured into some heated arguments about how to use data. I don't complain when things like this happen. I figure, one day, we will lose unlimited and when that day comes I will have to figure it out. Until then I will continue to use, and appreciate the unlimited data that I have.

Absolutely. That's how I see it as well. If it happens one day so be it, I'll survive.

WELL GUYS, It is now the 1st of september and no letter of disconnection. Not even a notification of the $20 increase the rep told me we would be receiving when I called Verizon.

Can i confidently say.... we are in the clear? (i hope)

I didn't receive a letter or an email about the monthly increase on our unlimited data plan. It just appeared on the bill the month after the contact was done.

Well, guys.... the rumors are true, I just got my "switch to a different plan or you will be disconnected" letter! Yep, they've given me until Feb 16th! I called Verizon and they confirmed its legit. Well bye bye Verizon and hello at&t. As sad as it is losing my unlimited data, its almost freeing in a way.. free from 14 years with a carrier who doesn't give a f*** about their customers!

Mod note: Image removed.

Hmmm mods removed the pic of my letter... why? because of the profanity??

OK, well, here's my letter again without any curse words:

And I used anywhere between 30-100 GB a month, probably averaging around 60/mo.

How much have you used in the last month or month before?

Aw crap. I'm at 65GB and wifey's at 30GB for the month with a lot of the month left and we'll at least that much more data used by the end. I might be next. If so, I'll be on to AT&T too even though AT&T sucks here, but we have to have unlimited data. I can't afford not to.

It's Unlimited as long as you don't use it.......
I'm on Verizon with four lines with unlimited.
I haven't gotten hit with the price increase, yet...
I'm still under contract T-Mobile is looking real good these days.

Don't all the others who may have unlimited cut back speed after you pass a certain amount?
