Shame on you Verizon

Well apparently there is some FINE writing within the Verizon EVDO connection limitations that most people are unaware of. Basically what it says is that the internet service that it is providing through its cell network is severely limited...meaning you can basically only check websites and send/receive emails. According to CyberNetNews, the author of the article had found that people were having their accounts terminated, thats right terminated, for going over the 5GB bandwidth cap per month. When complaining about it back to Verizon, they pointed out that although the plan is advertised as "unlimited" it is still capped at 5GB. The EVDO policy further describes how they came to this magical number, which in my mind is ridiculous.

It makes sense that Verizon wants to cap their internet usage on their cell network. Its probably very demanding on resources and if people are abusing it, the majority of those simply using the phone side of the network could get crappier service. But come on...advertising as unlimited is somewhat ridiculous.

Cingular Im almost certain has something similar. Im in no mood to seriously consider searching through their bible-sized policies for such a limitation but suffice to say if one company has it then most others do as well.
