LG Voyager VX-10000
YouTube and Unlimited Data Package
I've been reading alot threads regarding YouTube content on this phone. Just to give you guys a heads up, Verizon Wireless's "Unlimited Data Packages" has a limit as to how much data you can actually use per month. It doesn't matter if you have a PDA, Data Card, or regular phone. Their unlimited Data Max is 4MB/Month. If you go over this amount, they have the right to cancel your account and drop you off their network completely. This happened to a couple of Employee accounts as well as a Supervisor's account while I was working there. So just a word of advice, don't watch too much youtube content, as a matter of fact, don't stream too much info through this phone (unless you're using MediaFlo); Even if you pay extra for the BBA Connect to u...

Actually it's "5",not "4", and it't GB not MB, huge difference. 5GB is actually a very large amount of data. Not saying that it can't be reached, but it is a lot.
...
Yeah, I'm sure I can stay within 5GB per month of data usage. That sounds a bit more reasonable than a 4Mb limit. 👀
...
In the latest customer agreement Verizon says that the reserve the right to throttle the speeds, they wont terminate the account anymore.
...
Yeah, I'm kinda lost on that too. I know I'm not going to go over 5GB. You'd almost have to be using that as a modem instead of having home broadband. I will top 5MG in a heartbeat though. I'm almost 70 now, but even that is a full month and on Sprint.
...
I think it means that they can limit how fast your connection is going and a 5 GB limit is reasonable seeing as it's not entirely easy to reach, I use my Nokia as a modem on Cellular One's EDGE network and the most I've ever used is 3.5 GB in a month.

so how long would you have to stay on the internet,etc... to reach the 5gb????
...
It depends on what part of Verizon's network you're on....
1xRTT (known as 1X on the phone) averages 60-80 kbps according to Phone Scoop so by saying it would average 70 kbps works out to be 166.4 hours or 6.93 days to reach the 5 GB limit
(70 kbps/8 = 8.75 KB/sec, 1024 x 5 GB = 5120 MB, 5120 MB x 1024 = 5242880 KB, 5242880 KB/8.75 = 599186 seconds, 599186 seconds/60 = 9986 minutes, 9986 minutes/60 = 166.4 hours, 166.4 hours/24 = 6.93 days)
1xEV-DO (known as EV on the phone) averages 300-600 kbps according to Phone Scoop (yes, I know it's Release 0, but it's only an example) so by saying it would average 450 kbps works out to be 2.59 hours to reach the 5 GB limit
(450 kbps/8 = 56.25 KB/sec, 1024 x 5 GB = 5120 MB, 5120 MB x 1024...

Normal internet browsing/downloads will not even reach close to that limit. P2p (filesharing) applications that are left running for hours and downloading/uploading large amounts of data can get you past the 5GB limit, but it would take a lot of movies/music to do it. 👀
...
Oh you scared me for a second. I mean yeah 5 GB of data does sound like a lot but will that still allow you to use the internet on the Voyager constantly when you want to becuase that's definitley what I'm looking forward to doing. I'll probably be running the unlimited data package just like everyone else here and watching many YouTube videos. Dam that's going to be awesome! 😁

The cap is 5 GIGABYTES a month.
They no longer cancel your account, they will only "throttle" the speed.
Throttle = limit the speed at which you download/upload data.
In terms of just general web browsing and email, don't even begin to worry about it. The only way your going to get near the cap is if your doing a lot of music downloading or if your streaming a lot of fap-worthy porn.
