Verizon to disconnect unlimited data customers who use over 100GB/month
Found on Ars Technica on Thursday, 21 July 2016
Verizon Wireless customers who have held on to unlimited data plans and use significantly more than 100GB a month will be disconnected from the network on August 31 unless they agree to move to limited data packages that require payment of overage fees.
"Because our network is a shared resource and we need to ensure all customers have a great mobile experience with Verizon, we are notifying a very small group of customers on unlimited plans who use an extraordinary amount of data that they must move to one of the new Verizon Plans by August 31, 2016," a Verizon spokesperson told Ars.
In other words, Verizon sold more capacity than it could offer in the past to lure in customers, and now that those paying customers make use of the unlimited contract, they force them off their network.
