In all fairness to Verizon, which does tend to charge more than most carriers, this is not a price hike...it may be advertised in a different way, but not a price hike.

As for the cap on their "unlimited" data: that again, is nothing new. That cap was already there, just as with all carriers. The only difference is that now VZW quantitizes that cap, rather than leaving it vaguely worded in the contract. In that sense, this is a move towards greater transparency, which is good.

None of this is news. There is no new rate hike, and the not-so-unlimited is also not news, they've been cutting folks off who use too much bandwidth for some time.

I don't understand - where's the increase? I've been paying $39 for voice (450 min) and $45 for unlimited date for a year now.
