Newbie question here. I am a current Sprint customer and the network in my area has been down for 6 days. Sprint advised me that if it is not fixed tomorrow on day 7 they start allowing customers to port out with no ETF since it is in a sense their fault not the customers.

Anyways I was wanting to know if I hold off and get the Thunderbolt through Verizon since it is in a sense the same as my current HTC EVO i noticed that Verizon has 5GB caps on their 3G and LTE aircards, but still offers unlimited data on their handsets. When Thunderbolt comes will it be able to enjoy unlimited LTE service or will VZW be capping their handsets at 5GB LTE Service???

Sorry if this has been covered just curious.

Verizon's cEO has said that there will a tiered data plan coming with Thunderbolt - which means there may not be an unlimited data plan for LTE handsets.

Tiered plans are coming sometime during the summer. If you sign a contract now, you shouldn't be subject to the tiered structure until you re-up your contract.

I don't think that was the CEO...I"m pretty sure it was a CFO or similar rank.

EDIT

Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo
