Streaming.
Porn.
Also tethering.
For porn.

Not to mention if you set all your apps to auto-update you can seriously get hit with like 2 gigs in a single day.

I use roughly ~2.5GB per month. I stream almost all my music, and watch a lot of youtube. Luckily for me work pays my phone bill, but these new tiers just suck.

So I go down there to get off family plan, get on own.

"Okay, it'll just be a fucking hour before we tell you to come back tomorrow"

1 Hour later

"Okay, you'll still get grandfathered in, forgot to mention. Oh, and our center isn't getting faxes. Thanks for staying 1hr 30 mins doing nothing and getting nothing!"

Fucking retards take forever, and didn't even get anything. Was told by 2 of them I get grandfathered in if I do it later too. If I don't, somebodies head is gonna roll.

Just a few more hours until the store closes.
I really do want unlimited data, but right now they only have one WP7 device and it stinks. And theres no promise of good Windows phones in the future.

CRAP!
I know it's too late, but the Trophy is actually a decent WP7 device. Nothing really special with it, but it's solid. Sure, I'd rather have a Focus or HD7S, but Verizon is the only carrier with coverage at my house.

Read one story just after the hike when in effect and it said something like 2 hours off music streaming a day will have you go over data for the lowest tier in a week. Yummy for those over fees coming.

I'm waiting for the family data plans that are coming later this year. I just don't use my phone that often and want to save some money.

Yeah, I might do that for the other lineson my account. My line though won't work as I pound out 2-3 gbs/mo

My buddy did this before the unlimited expired.
We live in Orlando and he showed me the speed test today.
Mostly on 1 bar, the sucker was from 12-18mbps.
I was so damm jealous.
I can't believe I'm seeing how fast wireless have become already.

Those 4G speeds aren't going to last for long. I'm sure it will stay much faster than 3G, but by the end of the year, a loooot more people are going to have a 4G phone.
