Verizon Wireless: Unlimited Data Not 'Sustainable'
You all freaked
Charge me less and I'll use less, charge me more and I'll use more. Which only makes sense for the current billing system. Got to use up that $30 monthly charge.
I use (and love) my iPhone. What I think people get mad about is AT&T bringing this stuff up after the problem arrises. IMO Verizon (being able to use the 20/20 hindsight of what happened to AT&T with the iPhone) is trying to deal with the network overload before it happens. There is going to be a data explosion on their network once/if they get the iPhone and when Android truely takes off.
At&t ever launches LTE or any kind of 3g or 4g service in my area i'll be going back. Big red isnt bad but I just feel that they nickel and dime me too much.
I find it hard to believe that backhaul locations cannot suport unlimited LTE data to these towers.... Ok so mabye they'll have to put in another BSC or switch here and there. Not like its not going to happen in the future. Spend the money now and sell the product instead of being the first to have it and limit the hell out of it.
They don't want to run into the issue ATT had when they picked up the iphone, where their network tanked and they've been playing catchup for years.
Verizon spends more on their network than any other company. they are spending a hell of a lot of cash to try and get the network ready. That doesn't mean they can predict everything.. Seriously, my phone is getting flash in a few weeks (most likely) could you imagin 40+ million people trying to use Hulu?
It's a lot better to launch with tierd pricing and then back off of it than it is to delay the hell o...

I pay for speed!
The issue is that LTE looks to launch at 5-6 times that Realworld speeds. That is what this announcement is for, not 3g speed data.

Not to me, it wasn't OK when AT&T said it, its not OK when VZW says it.
