Verizon will start throttling customers with unlimited 4G data plans. B@stards.

Fortunately you have to meet specific requirements, and if you're still trapped in a contract, you're safe. But the typical unlimited users will end up leaving real quick. I feel T-mobile is about to get a huge bump in user base.

While there is a lot, it is still a limited amount of room on the spectrum. By throttling very heavy users the rest of the customers have a better experience.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I may be affected. I routinely go over 4.7 GB of 4G LTE data every month on my grandfathered unlimited 4G plan. Verizon is always bragging they have the best and most reliable 4G network, blah, blah, blah...and now this. Makes me peeved.
