Verizon is probably the funniest because their CEO openly states "There is no demand for unlimited data in the US markets".

They claim they will run out of bandwidth and all sorts of other garbage, untrue statements just so they can get higher dividends at the end of the day.

Simultaneously, they won't allow you to get wifi only phones and all basic phones are terrible. It's just a scheme to get people to part with a huge, often unnecessary amount of their money each month. It's sort of like how text messaging is/was $10 /MB - completely unreasonable.

I just got a smart phone this year because I've been traveling everywhere, a little bit ahead of when I'm required to have a smartphone [and a pda and laptop /cry] for school.

The most I've ever used in a cycle is 500 MB. I know if I did anything on it at all I would blow through my cap in a few minutes. =s I just have to prepare for trips and what I would like to have on my phone before I go [with my slow 300kb/s home download=( ]
Wow, if I ever end up in US somehow I guess I won't be on Verizon then lol. Here is one of my usage cycles for 9 days.



Enough off topic now... Sigs Yay (should I use my new resized one?)
