Verizon Wireless: When we say “unlimited data,” we mean 5GB worth of “unlimited data”

Verizon Wireless redefines unlimited data usageHot on the heels of reparations payed to their unfairly terminated data-plan customers and the state of New York, Verizon Wireless has reworked their Terms of Service to specifically outline what they mean by “unlimited data.” By the sounds of it, Verizon’s “unlimited data” verbiage seems to indicate a 5GB monthly data allowance. In other words, your data-plan is “unlimited” until you hit the 5GB limit. Confused yet?You see, Verizon Wireless wants their customers to know that the “unlimited data” plans are intended for mobile use. That means they don’t want you to replace their landline-based broadband solutions with the wireless-flavored EVDO solution – streaming of video/audio and P2P file sharing are out of the question. And, should you exceed the 5GB/month limit on your “unlimited” plan, Verizon will “reduce throughput speeds of any application that would otherwise exceed such speed to a maximum of approximately 200Kbps” – with actual speeds “subject to change.”As long as you aren’t using your mobile phone’s unlimited data plan to stream video or share movies, you should be well within Verizon’s new definition of “unlimited.” But still, be wary of your wireless data consumption. Verizon may just choke your data speeds down to sub-56K modem speeds if you cross that invisible line.[Via: jkOnTheRun]
