Guys, you may or may not care so this is just FYI.
I've hung on to my old iPhone 4 instead of upgrading to the iPhone 5 because I still have the old unlimited data plan that Verizon (most carriers) dropped. If I upgraded, then I be pushed into a set amount of data per month.
I'm not arguing if that's right, wrong, good or bad. BUT, I was told by multiple Verizon stores that as long as I didn't upgrade I would keep my unlimited data plan.
After noticing for months that my data would get really slow, I finally got in touch with a lady at Verizon that confirmed I was in fact having my data speed throttled back after reaching 2Gigs of data. (my wife's iphone 4 also on same plan)
She said they called it "optimization" but she said, "yes, it's being throttled back".
So, anyway, I'm not in anyway under any pretense that any of the wireless companies won't lie to make a dollar, it still aggravates me to be completely lied to.

and I wouldn't use them if there was anything better. Sometimes I'd rather be using smoke signals and know I was not leveraged into doing something by the cell crooks.
