Verizon is gonna axe its 'unlimited' data hogs
Found on The Register on Monday, 09 January 2017
Subscribers who average more than 200GB of data downloaded per month have been told they have until February 16 to either move to a different plan or find a new carrier. It's believed atleast 8,200 customers have been sent the letters notifying them of an impending shutdown.
As far back as July of last year, there were reports of a mass-cancellation for those who used extremely high amounts of data on their wireless plans.
For those who think that 200GB is a lot, let's break it down onto a 30 day average: 6.67GB per day. At times where mobile devices make more and more traffic, such limitations should be a problem of the past. Unlimited means that you should be able to saturate your offered bandwidth 24/7 without causing any problems. If you do, your ISP has to invest into its infrastructure instead of kicking you out.
