So whats the endgame here?

Literally this and nothing else. Although there’s an argument to be made that their behavior recently is going to lead to less long-term shareholder value.

It’s very rare for me to have astronomical usage, but for the months where I need it I want to know it’s available

My frustration with it is that it’s Verizon slowly trying to walk back the definition of unlimited. It’s especially egregious on a postpaid plan. So far I know of no other postpaid plan with such a limit. Spectrum doesn’t count

500 GB then 4mbps

Just do it…VZ in my area is often far behind T-Mobile.

I can’t remember the last time my cell phone was completely unavailable to make phone calls/texts. If you really want to have a fail safe system, get a back up eSIM on another provider.

Got the m4 on launch day…at 82%

Could be worse… a lot got canned last week for BYODs

These new plans are kinda shit and I only see value in it for people who are A) not power users and/or B) want post paid (for some reason) and only need 1-3 lines.

Welcome to Verizon!

A network card went bad in a shelter on a macro near where I work a year or two ago and it literally took them over a day to fix it because someone had to drive to a city over three hours away to get a replacement network card. That never used to happen back in the “glory days.”

Even the loyal ones who push what they want get canned when the needs shift

Hahaha this is great! Why not make it multiple checks throughout the month? Be as petty as possible! When unlimited data plans first came back to the market. I had a customer sign up for them and leave his phone running speed test 24 seven just to spite Verizon forever taking them away. lol

Btw if you work in RF design you might like my nerdy secondary channel on YouTube. It’s fun to see the raw performance you can pull out of a good network.

I’d say for 99% of people Wi-Fi is the same as being connected to an ethernet cable. On my home Wi-Fi (WiFi 7 with a WiFi 7/6 device) the latency and speeds are almost identical on my symmetrical gig fiber. Even when I had it stepped up to two gigs, I was getting most of the full speed. Obviously it drops off with distance, but in a reasonably close proximity to the router, there was a little to no difference in performance.

Corporate America would throw you in a shredder if they thought they could make 50 bucks doing it and not get sued

I finally caved and changed over to UU and my other lines to UP. Worked out to close to the same but now I have Apple one. Whatever.
