WOW ZDNET is reporting that Thunderbolt will be first phone with Tiered data PLANS WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Horrible
This launch is turning into one huge joke. Could they have possibly screwed this up any more?
Proof?
The 4g is tiered for sure so I don't care
The 3g is throttled after 5 gb
So that should be what you expect

Its not 100% that i will ever be ble to take a Sh&t again but odds are I will ... lolol
Makes sense if its only 4g, they just barley changed it so that its throttled server side
If they become ATT and throttle all data then screw Verizon

Eh, I don't trust blogs much anyways. If they do make it tiered, I'll pass on upgrading though.
I guess I don't know what tier means. But are yall talking about the 5 gig for 50.00 & the 8 gig for 80.00 plan or something else.

It will probably be very similar to AT&T's data caps, that is, not at all in-line with the actual cost of bandwidth.

Nor do I trust CSR's and their wealth of information, or lack there of if you will.
i agree with everyone jumping to conclusions way too fast just because some random unnamed person said that the phone will be released on a certain date or some other rumor.
as for the "tiered" data i really hope verizon doesn't implement anything like at&t's data plans and i hope there will still be an option for unlimited i being stuck to a number doesn't work for me lol
Lol I think its funny.. I can't think of anything like this haha.. people going nutts for a phone I not once heard Verizon say what day they was releasing it .. id lmao if they decided to skip it haha
I read the tiered is supposed to bring in more customers who don't use much data
As in a tiered plan to make the phone cheaper but retaining the unlimited plan, wherever you got your source they only quoted a single sentence, not the whole announcement. They also announced that the TB is coming soon if that even matters anymore

Is there a plan or option (on any carrier) that allows for data via wifi only? That way you wouldn't be using your carriers data bandwidth you would be using your home/work or Starbucks network.

you've got me lost.
The only up thing we will have in this merger is coverage. they say that they will honor our current contract, which may be true. But as soon as we go to upgrade we'll be forced into a ATT branded contract with higher fees, lower data caps. The only way i see around this is totally going to suck. Once our contract runs up we will be on a month to month basis with ATT. So we'll have to buy our phone @ full price to avoid the renewal of a contract. That is going to be a worse case situation, but it's still early.
I referred to the first problem off the three than you mentioned the company who care least will buy the one who care most and we all know than att his first top phone is the iPhone and now with the rumors of the iPhone 5 that just gonna blowup the att market

In the long run it will affect us.
They are wanting the AWS band that we use for their LTE network. Since our radio are programed for HSPA/HSPA+ they will not work with the LTE network. So yes it does affect us.
But they do have a valid point their are SEVERAL threads on this already. it is getting kind of old. And Facebook petitions add up to nothing. Heck real petitions do not mean anything any more.
there are question threads in the general section, general threads in the questions section, ROM questions in the themes and apps section. I just find it absolutely ridiculous that someone tries to do something positive (no matter how futile anyone deems it to be) and catches heat for it. Of all the misplaced, misdirected threads in the MT4G section, THIS one gets targeted? Come on.
and i know it affects us. it was a rhetorical question.

I second this, great price every month, tho verizon with my company discount is honestly about the same, but the 3G/4G was terrible, and everyone trying to sell me that in home cell module thing, that only helps phone calls, because it would fix my "4G" and therefor I shouldn't leave them. Left them same day for a Thunderbolt with verizon, and in there survey asking why I left, I explained that every employee I talked to was a moron.
Did I also mention I had a Sprint "Manager" start cursing me out because I called him an idiot for telling me the only way I can get 4G is to have my phone off for about 12 hours straight every day?
seriously the worst provider ever. AT&T was better than Sprint, and I told them that

There is no way around the cap. It is done of T-Mobiles servers and linked to your SIM card. Many people have tried to get around it without any luck.

I can dig what you're saying but I'd like to think of it as being resourceful rather than cheap. After all it is android, several exploits and loopholes exist for other devices already. Ill keep fishing and maybe I can figure it out. Maybe IP/MAC spoofing would work to avoid the asshats at T-Mobile.

thats what i did lol theres your throttle fix.
It's not a work-around to the T-Mobile cap exactly. But by fine tuning when and how your installed apps use data, can keep you under the cap. For example instead of streaming podcast with Mediafly I installed DogCatcher. I set the download permissions for the application to only update when connected to WiFi and plugged in.
That alone has cut my data usage in half. Fine tuning other settings in apps like email, facebook and twitter have also cut down my data usage. I went from always bumping the data cap to moving to the next lowest data rate plan.
Something to consider!

im not being cheap at all!! but is it possible i can up to the 10GB/ month? i just started a 2 yr contract 2 months ago and i get capped everymonth so far to 56k speeds...i pay 100 dollars a month and i think thats alot already! thats no fun when i dont get access to wifi everywhete like most of you.
If you change your phone number & get a new SIM chip it resets yer data usage. Setup google voice, get 5GIG plan - wait 2 weeks & spend $15 to have phone number changed and get another 5Gig. Two more weeks, billing cycle starts over, another 5GIG. Wait 2 more weeks and change phone number again - 5 more gig. Repeat every month. If you use google voice then everyone will still have your phone number. I think to get the 10gig plan it's 30 bucks so this saves you 15 bucks a month. Of course its also a huge pain in the ass for 15 bucks.
Lol that's actually pretty damn clever. A huge undertaking, but still clever. Well done.

Sprint is unlimited and true they don't throttle - HOWEVER what they do is kick you off the network and cancel your contract if you use "too much" data. Happened to me a year or two ago.

I'm no longer under contract, but I'll ride the unlimited data for the time being.

The question I have, though, is if using a non-AT&T radio could stop the ability to be throttled. Anyone care to chime in?
The throttling isn't done on the device, it's done on their end.

The top 5% feel the pain it looks like. I suppose if you are using 10+ gigs a month I am not sure I feel for ya. Personally I have never gone over 5 but I also have internet service at Home.
Here come the "I pay for unlimited" posts.
If it doesn't affect me I don't care. I use maybe 3 gigs a month..
If it adversely affects me then It will give me reasons to look else where when I get to re-up again.
Anyone know if this is enough of a change to the plan you signed up for to allow canceling the account?

In regards to Sprint, I'm sure somewhere in their "contract" there are provisions that allow them to boot "abuse" of their "unlimited" provisions. It only makes sense, as if every user started downloading movies, etc. continuously their network would come to a stretching halt.
In regards to others that offer unlimited, they don't say at what speed. So, if you're usage is so hi they throttle you, you're still getting unlimited, just not at their highest speed. So, while it's a PR nightmare, it's not a legal issue.
With the proliferation of free WiFi almost everywhere, to me anyway, it's a non issue.

I gave up my unlimited last year when the Share Everything plan came out. Never used more than a gig in the past five years.
