I am so EXCITED

[Eclipse2K]

I meant for Bond32, Jude526, since they already went over 100GB in a month. LOL

Me too. It's not bad for home Internet but 100 GB?! And to the person bout xbox and ps3... That uses very little bandwidth. It's streaming that uses the bandwidth.

Coming from a RAZR Maxx HD I was skeptical about battery. While it's not as good, I went to bed last night with 16 hours off the charge, 4 hours of screen time and 1 hour talk time. My battery was at 33% and it was Wi-Fi. I'm happy to say the least. The signal strength is stronger then the RAZR too.

I have been with Verizon for years. And the gal who got my call said I lucked out with her. You could say it does more for her classes. Might work.
I had internet issues two weeks ago. They finally admitted to me it was them not my phone. But also in the mishap it messed up my visual voice mail. So I did another factory reset. It was their glitch that caused the problem. I think the rep
FELT bad for all the inconvenience I was dealing with. They need to admit when there are problems. I had 3 friends who had internet problems too

Thanks for the tip! I'll give them a call this weekend and see what they can do for me. Wish me luck! And I'll be adding two more lines this week to my share everything plan which should give them some incentive to give my sisters line an early upgrade.

I won't judge but holy crap. Verizon Wireless isn't supposed to be your home ISP. LOL

I'm going to be "that guy" and say why?? $30 Hotspot fee, unlimited data, I pay for it so why shouldn't I?

For some of us like myself and my girlfriend, we use well over 100 gig a month. Anything other than unlimited is simply not an option.

WOW! What do you do to use so much data? With all due respect, unfortunately....it is users like you that have caused the carriers to throttle back and do away with unlimited data.

Hahaha. This Old argument...

Ok so step back and think for just one second how every other wireless carrier does business. They don't have unlimited data because you know what? It makes them money. You know what verizon is? A business, to make money. So when they have a chance to make more money by no longer having unlimited data, do you really still believe it's people like me as the reason why it's not offered? Additionally they don't throttle 4G this has been discussed over and over. Additionally their network load due to people like me is still a tiny fraction. With everyone under the sun getting a smartphone, why still offer unlimited data, why not charge for overages now? That's some serious money to be earned. Verizon knows they have the best network and they know people will still pay for the service.

Edit: sorry didn't mean to get off topic. Just really burns my biscuits when people point fingers at those "unlimited data users".

If they were losing money off our grandfathered unlimited plans they would cancel them. They're not, they just don't make as much money as they could off everybody else using Share Everything.

Have to say that this attitude is irritating.......unlimited is just that unlimited......we all jumped on for unlimited way back, pay our verizon bill, we get to use our data. those who jump off for the tiered plans, more power to you....i have no beef with your choice, and if it works for you great, but i signed up for unlimited so i can use my data and not stress about curbing my use or anyone elses on my plan. to each his own!!

I don't use much but Verizon can keep their unlimited minutes. Between Friends and Family and the majority of those I talk to having Verizon I'm set. I barely use 200 minutes out of my 450 allowed.

Since Verizon forced me to pay over $700.00 for my Note 2 ( pay full retail to keep unlimited data ), let the 4G LTE run until the cows come home.

(Not to single you out karsdroid), I still have unlimited data and it's great to not have to worry about overages, but at the same time I find it irritating the mindset that unlimited means you can consume as much as you want without any consequence. It's like an all you can eat buffet doesn't mean it's appropriate/acceptable to be gluttonous and throw any self discipline out the window and consume as much as you want. Like the food at the buffet, network resources are not unlimited. Over-consumption does affect others and can also cause the provider of the resource (ex. restaurant or cellular network) to raise prices or change their policy to control that consumption (they reserve that right as the provider of the resource). I think that is the concern many have with those who use a ton of data.

And to stay on topic: Congrats Jude on getting the Note 2. It's a great device. You're going to love it!

I disagree with that concept. I looked at the networks and decided on Verizon and the Thunderbolt. I paid whatever they said the price would be for Unlimited data. If I want to use 2 Gigs a months or 100 gigs a month, thats what I paid for.

I don't disagree that you have the choice of how much data to use. My point is that it doesn't come without consequences. It's why most carriers are trying to do away with unlimited; to control how saturated their networks are becoming. The more people who have unlimited and don't worry about controlling their consumption, the slower the network becomes and the greater the cost of maintaining/upgrading that network will be. Moving to tiered data forces people to think about their consumption to keep their own costs down and it subsequently helps keep the network from getting too saturated too fast (Sprint who still has unlimited data is a good example of this).

Read my earlier post. Its not why they are doing away with unlimited.

They did away with unlimited data in favor of tiny plans they can Charge overage fees because verizon is a giant multi billion dollar company and they found one more way they could increase their profits lol.
