Tell me... If the average data user in the US only uses 2-3 GBS per month, why is unlimited data such a fear for Verizon?
Not sure why this is so hard to understand. It would not benefit the "average data user" to get unlimited data. It would only benefit the "above average user" to get unlimited data.
For example, I have 4 lines with 15 GB of shared data for $100, which comes to $78 after my employer discount. That is an average of 3.75 GB of data/line which is ABOVE the average data use. We don't come close to using that much data. Have NEVER had an overage at that allowance.
IF I were to switch BACK to unlimited data(if it were still available at the OLD price) that would be a monthly cost of $120($113.40 after my employer discount on the 1 eligible line) for data vs the $78 I am CURRENTLY paying for data. UNFORTUNATELY Verizon increased their UDP price to $50/line which would then INCREASE my monthly data cost to $200($189 after discount). Explain to me WHY I would even consider switching to unlimited data.
ONLY people who use MUCH more data than the average would benefit from switching to an unlimited data plan. THEREFORE the AVERAGE data user does not really factor into this equation UNLESS some of those "average data users" prefer to overpay for their monthly data cost.
