2. Doesn't Verizon "throttle" after 15GB usage?

My wife and I were recently "on the road" for a few weeks, making us very dependent on VW wireless services.

Seemed we racked up those 15GBs pretty darn fast. Too fast.

I am inclined to agree with you that they are either dishonest, or, it just takes more bytes to satisfy basic internet requests compared with broadband.

We have an unlimited plan. But after 15GBs, they slowed us down.

Your mileage may vary.
