Re: slow data after switching to unlimited

Yeah, me too.

My wife and I have been with Verizon since 2001 and we are about to change to AT&T or T-Mobile. We 'upgraded' to the unlimited plan and are paying more money for it now than we did before when we had a certain amount of data. When we ran out of data on our old plan, we would go into 'safe mode' where it would be slower but still functional (3G speeds). Now, with unlimited high speed data, we are throttled approximately 75% of the time. When we are throttled, I cannot even use the GPS on my phone since it is too slow to even find locations to navigate to.  It slows us down to nothing at all. Not functional for 75% of my day.

Every time I contact Verizon, they tell me the same things. They cut and paste a form letter into the response and tell me about other plans that I could upgrade to for more money.

Not what I signed up for. Not loyal to me and my family as we have been loyal to them for almost 18 years.
