He's right......key point he left out tho was the type of service. lol.
Verizon and AT&T are good in my area....Sprint n T Mo suck in my area. AT&T might be better than Verizon in my area.

Man....Come December I'm canceling my Verizon contract. I want to the Note 2 and it would be cheaper to pay the early termination fee of probably 300 dollars (My contract ends next September so it should be cheaper to cancel), sell my Galaxy Nexus on eBay to help with the fee, go to Sprint and sign up with an unlimited data contract with the Note 2 for 300 dollars, which is what the phone should cost. With my military discount, the bill should be cheaper than what I pay with Verizon. So either end up paying about 400 dollars to switch and get a new phone or I could just stick with Verizon, pay 800 dollars for the Note 2 and still get reamed....That's a tough choice wouldn't you say?
if unlimited is just a meaningless word, why go through all the trouble of eliminating it?
Fran Shammo, Verizon's CFO shared an interesting perspective about Verizon's shared data plans while he was speaking at a Goldman Sachs investor conference yesterday. He basically touted the benefits of Verizon's Shared Data Plans, and didn't think unlimited plans represented any real value to most consumers. He believes that unlimited data will simply go by the way side. Here's a direct quote,
“............unlimited is just a word, it doesn’t really mean anything .......”

You know, he's right. Unlimited doesn't mean what you think it does.
Their unlimited plan is really limited to 3,200 GB/month (assuming average sustained throughput of 10Mb/s, a 30 day month, accounting for SI units and bit to byte conversion, then rounding up to the nearest hundred...)
So, truly...there is no such thing as unlimited data. Everyone who has an unlimited(sic) plan should do well to respect the 3,200 GB limit that their plan has.
