Re: Switched to Go Unlimited and now terrible speeds.

With the GoUnlimited it only says in congestion you'd be slowed down. It doesn't say to what speeds. You can't compare your iPad on a different plan. It is apples to oranges. If your iPad is on the BeyondUnlimited and hasn't used the 22GB cap then it will work fine. Also, in congested areas you will be naturally slowed by the resource pull on the network. It's like a traffic jam on the highway. Too many cars trying to get through causes slow speeds. The same with data. I like that VZW is trying to compete with the GoUnlimited but we now see how it works. The tower considers itself congested and because you are paying the lower price for the data plan (any data plan), you aren't prioritized. This is the reason I don't switch. I have a tiered plan and don't experience anything but normal slower speeds. Plus, since you switched off of the older tiered plan offerings you might only be allowed to go to the BeyondUnlimited plan.
