It's not called "Verizon Wireless," it's called "Tri-County Wireless" and they sell Verizon products.

I like that, Tidbits. It's the perfect way to answer this thread. Unlimited Data is NOT Unlimited BANDWIDTH.
Customers are being charged for data above and beyond a cap. They're still getting all the data they can consume. It just may be slower speeds according to the stress on the tower. Perfectly summed up. At this point an admin should come along and lock this discussion.

While I'm not opposed to an admin locking this thread over the cop tangent going on, it would seem that the FCC Chairman agrees that data usage and bandwidth are linked:

You know it's an election coming up right? Nothing will come of it. The supreme court trumps the FCC which presidence was set in multiple court cases. Bandwidth does not equal data. Even the dictionary does not have them synonymous with each other. A thesaurus as well. Even what they teach kids in school since the inception of the internet.
Also if the FCC didn't think they are separate then WHY the F didn't the FCC disapprove the terms and conditions that were presented to them for having the fair use clause? People forget that since the early 90s the FCC had to approve the carrier terms and conditions.

I have heard that this throttling doesn't apply to XLTE devices. If true, 1 could avoid it by buying at full price an XLTE device. I can vouch for the speed. I was attempting to download Tom Toms USA maps on my HTC one max in Asheville NC (an XLTE city) while eating in an Italian restaurant on WI-FI. It's a 2.5 gig download. After an hour I had 250 MB . I thought well their WI-FI sucks. I tried a McDonald's & a KFC, no dice even slower. I just gave up & started my drive home. As soon as I drove out of range of WI-Fi it switched to downloading over XLTE. In 5 minutes it had the entire 2.5 gigs ))).

XLTE Is faster than any public WI-FI I have ever used. Waaaay faster, but more importantly, if what I have heard is true, it is not gonna be subject to the upcoming throttling. I highly recommend it. Not that I think the FCC is gonna allow this )))).

My HTC one max is my WI-FI. I travel at my job & when I'm not working I travel in a 5th wheel RV. I have a cabin on the blue ridge parkway where there is no home internet except for my hotspot.
