Its been a while since we last did something on cell phones. But this one cannot be passed by without an appropriate dig.
Verizon Wireless' terms and conditions of its "unlimited" Broadband Access data plan now clearly states that using more than 5 GB of bandwidth during the course of a month will result in service termination. The exact phrasing from the terms and conditions: "Anyone using more than 5 GB per line in a given month is presumed to be using the service in a manner prohibited above, and we reserve the right to immediately terminate the service of any such person without notice." The document reasons that a person engaged in prohibited uses (such as webcam posts, downloading or streaming audio or video or automated data feeds) continuously for one hour, could typically use 100 to 200 MBs. "If that person is engaged in prohibited uses for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, [he or she] could use more than 5 GBs in a month," says the Verizon site.
Is this a new take on the proverbial "Can you hear me now?" campaign? Hey switch your carrier. Bandwidth is basically a free good never mind what they say. You can get great deals elsewhere.
