You can jump in greater than 2GB of data you know.
An unlimited data plan does not have a unlimited voice plan, so that is a wash...pick you preference of communication....I fault you zero, I know unlimited data is precious.Yes, i know, just comparing my unlimited vs the share everything pricing

You can get ZOMG fast net at you house for about the same cost as VZW, so I am not sure what you mean by you aren't made of money? Data, is Data.I have a hard time limiting myself to 10. I'm also not made of money.

I agree, but alot of posts sound like vzw employees trying to sell plans or people who can't afford paying the unsubsidized price trying to justify their decision in constantly saying they are saving money with the new plans and dont understand why noone else can limit themselves to 2 gb of data.

Okay here is my situation, not a Verizon defender but I do understand that they want to make money. I also not looking for a nasty argument or to make others change plans. I did come here to weigh the pros and con of loosing my unlimited.
My plan has 5 smart phones, 4 unlimited and 1 limited. The bill is $450.00 last month I am guessing about $40.00 in insurance so I'll call it $400.00. If I go to the new plan it would be $200.00 base $100.00 for 10 GB. That would leave $100.00 for a jet pack ($20) and can add data if needed ($80.00 = additional $16 GB) is my math right? I also gain the ability to legally tether on any phone at no charge other than data use. I think that 10 GB will be more than enough based on current usage. If I am correct than its a go for me.

I understand your situation. Its when other people were agitated that others dont like the new pricy plans.
If it is cheaper for you by all means. I dont have 8 phones in my name just my wife and I.

not in this day and age my friend.....
And if people don't like the new plans, they don't have to switch to them.

Yes, in this day and age. You just THINK you have to have it. Would you die the next day if you didn't have it? People have lived for a long time without them. They are a convenient tool, nothing more. For phone calls a dumb phone will work just fine in emergencies. It only seems to be "life and death" for most of the younger generation as they don't really know how to get by without them.

Update: I went to the Verizon Corporate store today, apparently the store I was at in at the mall is a "re-seller" I was told that the data rate plan keeps going beyond the 10 GB in the promo flyer in the same pattern of 2 GB per $10.00 - NOT TRUE! 10 GB is the limit and it is $15.00 per GB beyond that. Considering that I was going to add 2 Jet Packs this was a deal breaker i also realized that I would loose my corporate discount too.. In the end I did nothing, I have a corporate plan and new price plans are on the way for corporate customers. These new plans are going to be more geared to large data users. For now I will cut back on the data plan on the one phone that I have on the limited plan and find a under the radar tether
app for the rare times that I need connectivity. I also wont be using my new Nexus tablet in non wi-fi locations til this gets worked out. Thanks to all that offered any constructive criticism, that is what these forums are for. I hope this helps others that are trying to sort this out.
"The problem with the New shared data plans is that they may be fine for a single person, maybe a couple, but add in teenagers that will burn thru data, especially once all phones are on 4g, and it will get expensive very quickly."
Yes, you are right, it will get expensive. Do you know why? BECAUSE WIRELESS DATA IS AN EXPENSIVE, PREMIUM PRODUCT!!! Why would you ever expect it to be cheap?

If you hack VZW and use your device as your modem, I can understand, but man does Verizon data have the capability of choking hard often.

The Verizon mafia strikes again I can't believe some of you taking up for these spineless bastages. I have 5 phones on my plan 2 smart both unlimited and 3 dumb all sharing around 1800 minutes we never get closed to because wife and kids texting. I have been with the cartel I mean Verizon for 20 years...you dayum right I'm grandfathered in! I've paid these over inflated bills with charges for $5 or $15 nobody can explain for years, I've bought the $400 phone only to watch them give 2 away free with activation two weeks later, I've listened to why I'm already being charged $80 for the month on a line I'm upgrading they still need $30 to $50 more. What is the meaning of the word "unlimited" but now you're a "hog" for going over the "unlimited"?
These crooks are no different than the people at OPEC being so proud of their barrel of oil... they know you can't find a pay phone anywhere outside an airport, home numbers are all but gone, social media and the way bills and banking even payroll is now they have us over a barrel and they know it. You may call it good business but I call it reneging on your word.... what's happened to the valued customer the people paying your way before the huge stores in front of malls when you were pedaling from a booth in the mall? Now those valued customers you've personally made dang sure that $400 was coming monthly for years are just "hogs" and aren't appreciated anymore than any other payday for the mafia that just signed up yesterday?
/Rant. It's not I can't afford it or even use many GB its just the point and another sign of the greed that has put this country where it is today. The days before Wal Mart and the guy at the hardware store knew your family and ask how they are... when you could charge gas and fill it up without standing in the rain waiting on some loser to cut the pump on...anyway lol
