Camden, TN | Maybe enough bad press will cause Verizon to change things up a bit. It has happened before. |

kudos:2 | Change to what? Increasing revenue in the "data world" means that consumers will pay more for data one way or another. This evolution has been in the making for several years and I don't see VZ adjusting rudder now....at least not to favor consumers. |

Really? It was 6 months ago Verizon was going to add a $2 fee to pay your bill then people complained and they got rid of that idea rather quickly. Last year at&t wireless changed it's caps and pricing and people complained and at&t made adjustments within days. Comcast has had to raise it caps because people have been complaining about them not counting their own stuff against their caps. A few years ago TWC was going to have caps of between 5-40 GB and people complain and they abandoned that idea rather quickly.
So enough consumer outrage and companies WILL listen. |

kudos:2 | Yes, really. This is a paradigm shift in billing structure, not a $2 fee. The numbers may fluctuate a little as VZ applies a few tweaks here and there, but I wouldn't bet on any significant changes. |

Making them look like they are giving the consumer a better deal by lower the costs. Which would still be higher than they are now. |
