FCC vs Verizon Unlimited Data

[Snn5]

Some agreements allowed unlimited hotspot.  Some only allowed one device to use the network, ie...the phone itself.  One might bluetooth, hotspot, or USB tether, but if against the TOS, termination is very possible.  Verizon knows what type of app is accessing the network, I'm sure you already know.  I know some apps try to cover the use by changing the "source of request" from desktop to Android, and usually there are 3 layers and the app can choose how many layers to use or remove, but hiding usually impairs the function of a website, such as accessing from a PC through Android, the website may not load correctly on the PC. Blah blah, it's a risk.

Ive been using jailbroken and tethering for years.. Never had an issue. I've had months where I used over 120GB of data. Not one email, not one call..... So I'm not quite sure where you're going with theses TOS.. And for the stupid one who gave up their unlimited data. That's on you. I have 4 lines and two have unlimited. I will never give up unlimited data. Not until I see cable internet or DSL available in my location.

When that day comes where they won't allow unlimited data at all. That's when they will lose a customer

That'll probably be the day when all carriers no longer offer unlimited.  Sprint, and T-Mobile already went on record they will not have it for much longer.  T-Mobile has never promised unlimited data for life.  Sprint did, BUT you can't miss a payment and a few other caveats, and they even said at some point in time they will no longer offer unlimited at all.  So if you ever going to switch you'd need to do it soon. I speculate around 2017-2018 will be when all carriers will no longer offer unlimited.

Well, remember, if you aren't under contract....then they don't have to provide you any service, even if you are a paid user.  But, good job getting on Verizon's radar with those last few posts.

T-Mobile has already announced the end of the unlimited data promotion.

New T-Mobile family plan offers four lines, each with 10GB of data, for $120 » TmoNews

No date for the start of this plan and end of the unlimited plan, but I would expect the end of the month.

Considering how you are using, and abusing the unlimited data for the last 5 years, which would cost thousands if billed at the current rates.  Suck it up, enjoy it while you can, shell out for a Full price phone like every other customer who is hanging onto an unlimited plan, and for goodness sakes keep quiet about it.

IT is written into your TOS that Verizon can terminate your account if you are tethering.

Already started, but they still offer the $100 unlimited everything plan (Text, Data, calling).  This plan however is only guaranteed for 2 years at that price since it comes with unlimited data(no throttle).  So eventually it'll die out.

And they still are offering Verizon customers a trial.  It hasn't been as productive as they hoped.

This is a false name and using an IP spoof, yeah. I'm not worried. I'm not worried about buying a phone out right either. My simple thing was transferring a sim to a router. Like I said, I live in a rural area with my 4G LTE and Hughes net as the only option. Not sure if any of you used Hughes net before. But it's crap.
