i have a sprint phone with an unlimited data plan, and 90% of the phone's use is streaming music and video. if they start telling me i cant do that anymore then i say HELLO VERIZON.

it really about infrastructure, to me. Verizon has a system now of a straight pipe to houses and condos, giving bandwidth up to 50 mb per pipe, and the other providers are using a shared line. I,m not surprised their upset about heavy users. Internet was not designed , by other isp except verizon. to handle these heavy loads. But things change. Verizon is making a capital outlay to do things the way they should be done. The rest of the ISP are behind the curve. They dont have much choice. Their expenses are rising, as they would normally, and internet has changed dramaticaly. Their not prepared at all. So you get these spasms from the other providers. Verizon will probably up their prices too inevitably.They can do what they want, question is how do you respond???

thing with verizon is even if you are paying a hefty price for service, you know its reliable and the company behind it is fair and honest for the most part. im SO glad at least SOMEONE is making internet in america RIGHT. and even more happy it ISNT comcast.
