I am not a big data user. I rarely exceed 1 GB in a month so going to a lesser plan won't really affect me. But I am grandfathered on the unlimited plan and I think it stinks that they are going to force me off of it.
We knew the day would come. Verizon is going to get rid of all unlimited data plans.

I feel bad if I use .50 gigs per month. Of course, not being able to have the stupid thing at work makes a lot of difference too.

I hate caps! Do they really have that much traffic that they need to have caps or do they have other reasons? Personally, I think they lie to us and give us some crap story about heavy users taking all the bandwidth. Wouldn't a better solution be to apply limits only when the tower being hit is saturated or near saturation?
