Why is my LTE so slow ever since I switched from my grandfathered TRUE unlimited, to verizon’s NEW unlimited plan?

[Hondro1m]

In July of this year, I switched to verizon’s “new” unlimited data plan from my original Nationwide plan with the original unlimited data plan That I was grandfathered into. i Feel like my 4G LTE on the new unlimited plan has been so freakin slow compared to my old plan. especially recently after receiving a notice saying something along the lines of “your cellular data coverage settings have been updated”. Am I the only one experiencing terribly slow speeds witb their LTE recently? It’s really starting to frustrate me considering how expensive Verizon is.

Do you have GoUnlimited or BeyondUnlimilted?

With the GoUnlimited plan, there can be prioritization of data flow based on cell tower congestion.

I just compared the plan, I think I have BeyondUnlimited, but at $20/line instead of $85/line. it just says Unlimited, and has all the same features As BeyondUnlimited

If you were on beyondunlimited, it would say so on your bill or your plan. For example, I have listed a portion of my bill below:

It might be the new Verizon Unlimited Plan which was available before Verizon Wireless created the Go Unlimited Plan and the Beyond Unlimited Plan.

The new Verizon Unlimited Plan has an account level fee at $65 for a single line account and $110 for multiple line accounts. Each smartphone line has an access fee of $20 per month.

I am experiencing the same issue, along with my fiance.  I switched from the original unlimited data plan with Verizon, to one of the new unlimited plans and my phone does not load content like it used too.  I have an iphone 6s, and recently did the upgrade to 11 ios.  My fiance was on Sprint network and joined my unlimited plan, he has an iphone 7plus, also upgraded and anything his phone is very slow now.  We mostly use our phones for music and social media, no games, movies, or tv.  When we do the device checker, everything is good, so I'm assuming it's the network.

What "Unlimited" plan do you have? It matters.

If "GoUnlimited", you are probably suffering due to cell tower "congestion".

If "Beyond Unlimited", I'm really not sure.

Force your phones to 3G mode. Google it.

Does your data stream and your pages load faster?

I have an iPhone 7 Plus 128gb and my wife has the iPhone 7 128gb

It just says Unlimited, no go, no beyond. Just unlimited and it has the same benefits as the beyond unlimited plan
