"Unlimited" has so many limits [telecom]

Verizon to disconnect unlimited data customers who use over 100GB/month

Customers using more than 100GB must move to limited data plans by August 31.

Verizon Wireless customers who have held on to unlimited data plans and use significantly more than 100GB a month will be disconnected from the network on August 31 unless they agree to move to limited data packages that require payment of overage fees.

Verizon stopped offering unlimited data to new smartphone customers in

2011, but some customers have been able to hang on to the old plans instead of switching to ones with monthly data limits. Verizon has tried to convert the holdouts by raising the price $20 a month and occasionally throttling heavy users but stopped that practice after net neutrality rules took effect. Now Verizon is implementing a formal policy for disconnecting the heaviest users.

***** Moderator's Note *****

Verizon blames "Net Neutrality" rules for raising prices. I don't think that makes sense.
