Verizon coverage and speed is good, but I'm leaving due to their bullshite. Started out with them at 6GB shared data, which was fine for a few months. One month we went over, then suddenly started going over every month. Upgraded to 8GB, all of a sudden we're using 8.5 ($15 extra). Upgraded to 10, now we're using 10.5-11. So on and so forth.

After doing some digging, I've found that Verizon has been adding "data usage" of up to half a gig between the hours of midnight and 6 AM, when we're both connected to wifi and have background app data turned off. They've even said I was using data during times when I had the data switch turned off.

While their coverage and speed may be better, I never had this shite happen when I was with ATT. I'll be anxiously awaiting my class-action settlement a few years from now.

That's crazy. I always wonder if the data charges are accurate.
