I'm planning on staying with my 30gb plan... If they do some BS, Fi may be my next...
My only issue is I'm not a current Nexus phone fan... Loved their first few...You tell em!
Wishful thinking for a better set of Nexus phones, next.Such harsh words. You take them back meanie!
For me...not really. I saved $67 a month when I gave up UDP, that's $804 a year. I am not happy with a $10 a month increase on my L plan...not at all. But, I will still be saving $57 a month on what I was paying for UDP. It's not great, but still saving $684 a year. That may not be worth it for everyone, but I am OK with my decision. No other choice but to live with it. I guess the bright side is...we get 4GB more data to share each month. Gee, thanks Verizon. I should have known they would jack up the rates at some point.All those folks that got rid of their UDPs because it was too expensive.... this must sting a bit.

Without a doubt. I'm not leaving VZW now if this is the case. I bet it has something to do with the 5G testing, which would be deployed to Central NJ as a pilot program. When that goes nationwide (talking like 2020 timeframe) 4G would be a "throttled" speed. At least you won't get nailed for using 20 gigs at a cost of $150+ on a 10 gig plan. It may stink if you're getting only 200 kbytes, but it's a compromise versus paying out the nose. Question is what kind of deals would they have once It's bundled with FiOS.Funny, I was on the phone with a tier-two tech support rep just two days ago and mentioned UDP and whether it was ever coming back. He said, "they're working on it", but as it's been said before, I decided it wasn't news-worthy.
IDK, I would have to do some "scenarios" to see what "tier" would be best to start with and also would have do some testing at 3G to see if I can stand it once the 4G runs out, but it could be an alternative to the full-blown UDP I have now.
The "roll-over minutes" is another nice development and I do believe that is actually a bigger piece of news, though it's only rolling over one month. I want to see roll-over minutes being in perpetuity. This would make choosing a tiered plan easier and I'd feel less like I'd not get my money's worth.
