Updated: updated linked, added reference to no tethering

Verizon Wireless today added an unlimited data option to its series of prepaid plans. According to Verizon's web site, the new $80 plan includes unlimited high-speed service without a contract, though video is capped at 480p and prepaid customers may see slower speeds when the network is congested. Moreover, the plan does not include mobile hotspot or tethering, nor did Verizon say just how fast its unlimited prepaid LTE service is. The plan also includes unlimited talk and text in the U.S., unlimited messaging from the U.S. to 200 countries, and unlimited talk to Canada and Mexico. For those who don't need unlimited service, Verizon's other prepaid plans include 2 GB for $40 per month, 5 GB for $50 per month, or 10 GB for $70 per month. These plans all include carryover data, but will throttle customers who exceed their monthly data bucket. The new $80 unlimited prepaid plan is available starting today.

No comments lol?? EXACTLY. Put me in charge of Verizon!

This is yet another ho-hum & rather arrogant offering. Cricket (aka-AT&T) is $55. MetroPCS (aka-T-Mobile who is KILLING it btw in the cell industry) is $60 with TETHERING INCLUDED. Boost (aka-Sprint) is $50 with TETHERING INCLUDED. Verizon wants $80 with ZERO tethering lol. Are they nuckin' futs? Just about no one will sign up for this & then they'll be scratching their heads after Q2 shows yet more lost subs & NO Tracfone is not YOUR prepaid division Verizon lol. They resell from ALL networks. Why not offer a $60 unlimited plan and even offer 10GB of unlimited hotspot. THIS would net you customers! Great moves lately on the postpaid side but this is a lame shot on your prepaid.
