Verizon's Tiered Data Goes Into Effect July 7
In defense of tiered data
VZW's pricing structure does suck, however I'm in support of tiered data, I've still got my $30 unlimited data from AT&T, and I'm never giving it up. However I usually blow through 5-7 GB a month, mainly cause I watch lots of hulu and stream lots of pandora on my Inspire 4G, I don't care about my usage because I'm unlimited, I usually just leave my wifi off since I usually get way longer battery life with it off, I could manage my data, but I don't care to.
