Although I have the Ultimate Unlimited Plan, which is supposed to provide 10GB of high-speed roaming while traveling internationally before throttling down to unlimited data at a slower speed, once I reached the limit on the high speed data, what was left was totally unusable.
How can Verizon advertise "unlimited" data while roaming, if what you are throttled down to after the first 10 GB of high speed data is so slow, that it cannot be used at all?
My speed was throttled down to 0.02 MBPS/second, which is slower than 30 year old first generation dial up speed. In fact, what I was left with was quite literally, 7500 times slower than normal speeds. The speed was so slow, that it was worthless. I could not connect to a webpage. I could not send or receive email and the speed was completely useless. Even Verizon IT support admitted the speed was unacceptable.
I came to the community support site to read other user's comments and they confirmed the same, that the remaining "unlimited" data cannot be used once you reach the limit on the high speed allotment, making Verizon claims of "unlimited" data completely false. If you cannot use the data because of the incredibly slow speed you are left with, it is by definition, limited.
Very disappointed to see this.
Verizon should change their advertisements and be more careful with the language they use.
