Verizon's new unlimited data plan

Whoa... Whoa... Whoa... I don't drive an Accord anymore. I haven't had it since 2007.

I just didn't your initial reply (since it was in my quoted post).

I am definitely not a maintenance queen or uptight individual.

What part of MD are you living at currently? I have lived here my entire life. While I'm not a fan of MD Gun Laws or the cold winters (yes we had a mild winter this year & it could always be worse). I'd like to move somewhere south when I get older/retire lol

 

Ha!! OK cool. Me neither. That's my bad. I was a bit amped after a a crazy morning.

 

Ha!! Yep I hoped you weren't. I'm a transplant from Cali too...but in a much better state than Maryland! I kid..kind of. About the oil filter....NYDB.

 

I'm over in Rockville right now. It's not a bad area, but the sheer amount of people here is crazy! Luckily I should only be here another two years.

Where are you at? I just want somewhere with less people and to be able to carry my gun!

 

In Tejas...commuter to Austin but live in the boonies where I can shut my gate and the world off. Country life restores my sanity each day I get home.

 

Man, I'm jelly! Not of your heat, but that must be really nice to have that level of isolation.

Anywho, I'm thinking of getting the unlimited Verizon.

 

Go for Verizon. Long story short...in my home, I sit in the same spot each time to connect to the internet. With ATT I got 1 bar at 4g and had to physically turn off LTE to get that coverage. With Verizon I get 3 bars at LTE all over the house. Even have a metal roof!!

And good luck on your search for a piece of your own isolation.

 

I've got Verizon right now, and really love the coverage. I just don't know if I really need the unlimited aspect of it! I can't have my phone at work anyways, so my phone usage is limited. Do you not have regular internet?

 

My phone is our source for the internet. Almost went with DISH but couldn't justify the cost at the time.

 

It's all good :bighug:

Maryland does have it's fair share of issues. I hope the new governor continues to improve compared to the previous governor (O'Malley).

Yeah down that area it's definitely crowded. I'm north of you in Baltimore County. You going back to Cali once you are done the 2 years?

You can chat with Verizon and get a price after taxes for the new Unlimited Plan. That's what I did and saving $11/month made me switch

 

Might as well use the Unlimited data as it's meant to be used

My Line: 9.36 GB used
Wife's Line: 3.81 GB used

 

Can you setup a hot spot and play rockets off it?

 

Better question is... Have I setup a hotspot and played Rockets off of it. Yes I have on my laptop but the laptop can't handle it very well.. Time for an upgrade!

 

I got the grandfathered unlimited on VZW. I tether for my kids and one is like a black hole for data...
I loved driving from Boston, MA to Portland, ME and not roaming!

 

How much data do you use? Just curious.

 

"I" use 3-5 gig a month. They easily will do that.. 6-10 a month. I let them tether for a week once, 45 gig that month. I was pissed and happy at the same time.

 

What are they downloading? Holy crap!

 

YouTube, snap, IG...

 

I HAD Verizon, I switched to T-Mobile. They both offer unlimited but T-Mobile was a better deal. Verizon still does the whole "line access fee" BS, so the $45 a month was actually $65. T-Mobile doesn't so it was cheaper, and they have better service in my are. Somehow Verizon gets almost no signal around where I'm at, I dropped calls, never got calls (just voicemails), texts hours after they were sent, and an inability to make calls pretty often. I even had the network extender in my house and it didn't help.

I switched, it was painless, same unlimited data idea, lower cost. I'm very happy with the choice so far.

My friend has a Verizon plan. I think the key with Verizon is having multiple lines. He has 4 lines and pays about $160/month (still on their 12g plan). That's about what T-mobile would be on my plan with 4 lines.

 

I tried getting away from VZW. I bought a nexus 5 and tried them all. None had the signal VZW has everywhere I go.
