Verizon's new plan... should I switch?

[Guest]

Idk how much more it'll be but if it's cheap enough should I upgrade? I currently have a 10gb plan but Im wondering if the video streaming counts against your data (probably does but I can hope) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/02/13/verizon-is-launching-a-new-unlimited-data-plan-here-are-the-details/?utm_term=.9efcc75aaa3a <-- if you don't know what I'm talking about.

It's worth it only if you routinely cap out your data well before the end of the billing cycle.

read the fine print than decide

(HD) video streaming probably won't count against you. but you will reach the softcap sooner (22gb i believe?), which is when Verizon will deprioritize you when the network is congested. basically throttling your speed

tbh I'd just switch to t-mobile if they're in your area

I got unlimited everything for 30 per month on a family plan with 2 other people.

Things like this make me find things in America a fucking joke. It is so difficult for many people, such as myself, to get good, affordable internet. Me paying $150 a month just to get my service. And that's not likely to change anytime soon with how much corporations have an iron grip on things like internet, them coming up with the best solutions to squeeze more money out of the consumer. Internet and phone is fucking expensive in America, in comparison I've seen and spoken to many people in various other countries that talk about it being so much cheaper over in their countries, them getting so much more for lower prices. But over here we have to deal with every corporation fighting to squeeze as much money as possible. Before this most recent new plan, it would cost like $400+ just for 100gb

Unlimited only worth it if you top out

your current plan
