So now that we're gonna get the $#!+ end of the stick I think it would be nice to throw up our awesome data usage stats for fun.
So lets see what you got . Here's mine

This is what I know. Verizon pays no taxes and got back $760 million in refunds last year. I'm sure with the money they make they can use the free $760 million to maintain their network for us O.G. customers.
God bless America.

Agreed. I just hope if they pull our unlimited, they give us much higher caps on the new plans. 10GB's would seem reasonable to me.

Ummm..I have a plan. It has unlimited data. I use it as I wish. Same with texts. If I pay for unlimited then I get unlimited. Since you want to play the Blame game...lets play.
People who use less than 2 gb are the reason we're getting our unlimited data taken away. They show Verizon that only 2gb is needed.
See how dumb I sound?

Just saying though, like 35 gigs is enough data for at least 150 average users. I mean seriously how do you get that much. I have 4gbs limit and I try to use it as much to get the worth but I can't even get to like 2

Guys, it doesn't matter how many signatures this gets. They are making less money than they used to off of unlimited data contracts. This is going to happen.
@theredvendetta is right. I would love to think these petitions would do wonders for us, but our track record with them isn't what I call spectacular. The best way to deal with this is hit them where it hurts the most-their wallet.
If you are not voting with your feet and won't move to a different carrier, then you have no hope and Verizon knows it, so you are wasting your time. Verizon gets thousands of complaints every day about cost, signal, speed, plans customer services. I don't see Verizon improving any of that, its only gets worse, more expensive, etc. So save your signatures and use your wallet to vote Verizon out.
Just don't upgrade, to a 4G phone. Once you upgrade to 4G,then unlimited data plans are gone!

Not totally true. I was told if a moved to the Nexus sometime this week, Ill keep unlimited until the big plug is pulled.
You think they'll just suddenly get rid of unlimited for 3g customers wanting to upgrade to 4g?
I've been watching all the major android news sites to hear of any news on the subject from Verizon.
I want to go from my X2 to a SGIII but would rather not preorder. No guarantees.
In order to circumvent all of this, I want to do the following:
I may get a Nexus through Costco soon to lock into 4g unlimited. Then, once the SIII comes out at the same time the new shared data plans will like debut, I'd use Costco's 90-day warranty to return the Nexus and get a SIII with the intent to keep unlimited 4g.
In anyone's user experience, do you have to sign a new contract when upgrading your device? Can I just keep the Nexus plan?
Sooo I pretty much wrote this to see if you guys see any flaws in my master plan.
Almost 2000 more Signatures since my orignal post not to shabby. We need to get the word out. I known some people think this won't make a diffierance and maybe they're right. Showing are dissatisfaction will at least slow these greedy icehole's down.
My thought's on this is you want to renege on your grandfather promise raise data price's fine but don't force me to pay for it. How many people are using wi-fi because there 3g,4g is to slow or hardly working and paying a premium price for a service they don't use. Give your customers a choice. I do not have problem saving a dollar a day and using wi-fi.
But That's Just My Opinion. I Could Be Wrong..

So they use there energy in more productive ways. It's all good though everyone can do what they feel is right. But what would get Verizon's attention would be 3k people not renewing their contacts. With the reason being the death of unlimited data. Not 3k signatures from people who are still going to begrudgingly pay them.

If you had a termination fee that means you left sprint, therefore you'll have a higher monthly bill no matter where you go. Also, you'll have a metered internet cap with your spanky new 4G LTE phone, and therefore you've also opened yourself up to an overage bill on the internet if you are a moderate to heavy user.
Enjoy your new phone.

Hello,
Thanks to being able to bill to my account, I ordered a 64gb iPhone 5 today. I am honestly not sure if I am going to end up keeping it as I have been using Androids since 2.1 (Eclair) and I really like the platform. However, I am frustrated that Sprint frakked the Photon 4G replacement and I am not fond of Samsung (too plasticky) and to a lesser extent HTC.
I was honestly praying that Sprint would get some sort of version of the RAZR. The Intel Atom powered RAZR looks amazing, but has only been announced for Europe and I think Asia.
Being with Sprint since 1999, I really am conflicted about the iPhone in general. Thanks to Sprint having to pony up Billions of Dollars just to offer the bloody thing. they have done away with the Premier Gold Program replete with 12 Month Upgrades, the ability to bill equipment to your account at any corporate owned Sprint Store, and far less understanding Account Services actions.
That being said., it will be nice to have tons of options for Accessories where with the Photon there are hardly any. Still, I am hoping a flagship Android Phone is announced by Sprint in the next month.
Cheers,
JJ
It was.
It was confirmed that any carrier that had the GS3 was getting the noteII
Have fun with your CrapS6

My wife just got the iphone 5 and it's pretty impressive. I don't understand why people here sound so indignant that a photon user would be jumping ship. There is a market for the iphone obviously. I find it a foolish exercise to try and compare phones and platforms. At the end of the day they do the same most of functions. At the end of the day
Choice of device is a personal one. If on the day I told myself I now longer care to think about my tech I might move to a different platform as well. People have reasons for moving to ios, and are better for it in many cases.

Wouldn't you jump ship if you could get a Cryphone at a cheap price?
I'm sure there's plenty of people in 3rd world countries that would love to have this phone rather than something like food or shelter. How else
are they going to shoo the flys away?

Just wondering for those with unlimited data plans what the average usage is.
When I got my note 2 I added a ghost line so I could upgrade and keep unlimited on my original line. The tech told me my average use was a little over 2gb a month.
This month with rooting, unlocking, watching how to videos and downloading 3 ROMs I have used over 12gb and I'm freaking out.
One guy on Rootzwiki says he burns through 80+GB a month. To me that is an insane amount.
What's your average?

With 2 lines we use about 140 a month. I don't have wifi every I go. We don't have house internet so we tether everything we need.
I tend to use around 2GB a month and the most I have used is 6GB in one month.
At work we have a 1Gbps connection and I have a 50mbps connection at home, so I always opt for WiFi.
According to Verizon I use an average of 14gb a month, my high was like 30 something. Alot of that is downloading and cracked flashing ROM lol.

Im proud that I can do work on my ROMs while away from my home's router. Push updates at any moment. Download things to test at will. And never have to worry about going over my limit.
Ever think that I do use Wi-Fi when I'm at home but have no access anywhere else? Ever think I don't use data like a normal user? Ever contemplate the fact that I didn't use any of that 51gb to stream anything?

This. Verizon's leadership would like to thank us all for their fat bonus checks since the change. Ditto for all the campaign contributions paid to certain politicians to keep the 2gb or less average user BS rolling. They used historic data HEAVILY biased with 2g and 2.5g data usage in those numbers. Though not counting recent or forecasted usage based on bigger apps, cloud, HD streaming data (that the carriers are pushing) and devices with no sd cards for storage (the DNA as example had no card for a reason).
Common sense is that 4g with low data caps is absolutely pointless and counter intuitive to the premise of usage. Just a few HD YouTube or less than two movies bust past a 2gb cap. They LOVE it when our kids bust past the caps "by accident" and we pay $10 more increments. Why do you think Verizon does not set up an allocation lock down option as standard, for account holders so they can prevent this from happening? Surely you do not think they think the warning texts we get are the best solution to avoid cap busts. Their bonus system depends on cap busting. Feel the burn! Yowsa!
Sorry, but I have corporate friends with VZW and that is where I get insight from. I am in business too, so understand their practice. From a cold business side, bravo, but as a consumer, it sucks real bad.
Added: Until consumers push pack, we shall remain perpetually screwed. Heck, even some broad band providers do relatively low caps. Good luck with them PS4 and especially Xbox One consoles with broadband data caps. Yikes.
I still have my unlimited data. You missed the point. It's lost on you
Verizon tries to exploit its consumers, and consumers likewise will exploit Verizon in a similar manner. If someone has unlimited data, they should use it completely (hell they should even tether their entire house). Exploiting a business is the job of the consumer and vice-versa. Telling someone they should use less data on their unlimited plan is stupidity. You would only be helping out Verizon; consumers should never help out a business, especially one that persistently tries to scam its customers.

Also, I'm not trying to exploit anything. I'm actively working on projects that require downloads and uploads. I have unlimited data. And there is no reason to sip what I have. Next month I may only use <1gb. It depends entirely on what I'm working on.
I'm not really even sure why I'm trying to justify my usage. Im out.
