re: Verizon Wireless and going over data plan

Maybe AT&T has been using that throttle down technique for a good while

Depends on the plan you had. When I was with AT&T, I had an older unlimited plan, which throttled above a certain data range after they had eliminated their unlimited plan for a while. They were pretty hush hush about it until one of their competitors called them out on it

I had the same carrier for the entire time I had a cell phone (started with a bag phone ). I started out with Suncom who was bought by Bell South Mobility, who was bought by Cingular who was absorbed by AT&T. Initially, the had better coverage on the coast, where most of my work took me. Eventually, I started getting more and more dropped calls. I finally got tired of dropped calls and switched to Verizon about 4 years ago. I definitely prefer Verizon. I also had started doing more work in Texas and Verizon's coverage in Texas was significantly better than AT&T. I had areas of Houston where I had trouble getting a good signal and consistently dropped calls on AT&T.
