Re: No said by The Limit:And overage charges are consumer friendly? Can you go a little more in depth as to the reasoning behind this statement? Common sense man, would you rather have a slower uncapped connection, and pay for it once per month, or pay via double dipping? Look at our friends in Canada. That's where we are moving towards.
Can you explain why they're NOT consumer friendly?
Of course everyone would like free/unlimited. That's not the point. All data plans have limits of some kind, and they're getting more so since streaming video and torrenting have gone mainstream.
The point I raised is would a consumer rather have a hard cap (cut off after a certain amount), or a tiered plan where they can choose to spend more to get more. Karl picks (a), I don't see the logic. What are you doing, protecting stupid people from doing stupid things? That's consumer friendly? I WANT to be able to buy what I want, not be prevented by some hard cap plan.
I didn't say that there was anything wrong with making money, but halting a potential gold mine investment in favor of immediate turns is one of the main issues with public investment. I realize that corporations have to look out for their investors. I get it, I'm not saying that is terrible to do, in fact corporations MUST look out for their investors.
Apparently I am not the only one here that thinks $10 a gigabyte is "too expensive", not to mention, when people out in said boonies sign up for this service and bills start coming in. There are still quite a few people who do not even know how much a gigabyte is, so how in the world are they going to be able to adequately monitor usage unless someone educates them? After a bill shock or two?
Plus, every plan I've seen gives users warnings and "no charge this month but if you do it again" type statements.
I want to see some factual evidence based on your claims, because you are the one making the generalizations and statements that "ALL USERS NEED THIS MUCH DATA, THEY DON'T NEED TO STREAM, YADA YADA YADA, I KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM" attitude.
So many things that you are stating that I said, and never did to begin with. Go back and read what I said, five times, and instead of reading it with a bias, read it with an objective view.
I would rather this venture of Verizon's to be the good for those who can't afford to move, and live in the boonies.
I suspect that you are one of those people who believes that you need to not just reject an offering because you don't want it, but you need to force everyone else to not be able to choose that offering because you think it's "wrong" somehow.
You assume that people can just pick up and move to a better place, when in reality most people can't afford to do this.
