please pass these posting about the data throttling on to upper management.  verizon's reputation is on the line. i am sure no one intended to make smartphone unusable, but that is what is happening.

I'm in Sioux Falls SD and after switching to prepaid I have days at a time where I'm this slow as well.  I can't load images or webpages for minutes at a time in the middle of downtown. 

Then I'll have one day with crazy good speed, followed by days of barely opening things.

I agree prepaid has jacked up speeds to try and force post paid I think by verizon.

Switched to Verizon prepaid plan on March 31, and I plan to switch back to my old MNVO by April 30.

Spend 40+25(activation fees) for a month with the best network and I got this?

This was the first time I subscribed to Verizon, guess how long it will take me to come back again.

Same problem here. Switched to $40 from $45 for same amount of data and the day the plan renewed, began experiencing extremely slow data speeds and would have to continuously reload pages. My data usage increased 4 fold although I could only use 1/4 as much. This is my only Internet source. I talked to online and store techs., deleted most apps changed all possible settings that could cause it. Now I have my data turned off and restricted when not in use cause I consume so much more data. Every month I'm going to change to At&t but don't do it in time. Tired of having to drive 6 mi to use mcdonalds wifi in order to use the Internet or my apps. Thought if I changed plans again it would be better. I've heard alot that I'm not the only one maybe in order to buy a new phone every other year. You guys suck!

I can't go to the community cause as usual the data is too slow to load (Usually 5min/page if I don't get kicked out) So I have to wait till I drive to town to get on wifi to get your response
