“Unlimited” data from Verizon gets knocked again

VerizonNot that we weren’t unimpressed enough with the “unlimited” label Verizon slaps on its 5 GB data plan, but it looks like now it’s actually a 4 GB plan. And what happens if you go over?

Anyone caught using more than 4 GB of data in a single month will be presumed to be using the service in an unapproved manner, like running a server, or streaming vast amounts of video and audio content. If you get flagged, you could be subject to a variety of different penalties, including massive overage charges and/or termination of your service.

Sounds kinda like Rogers. Let’s see if Sprint pulls the same kind of stunt.

    Even if it says 4gb Max in the fine print, advertising it as “unlimited” and charging overages can’t be legal… can it?
