Plan on switching from ATT to Verizon when iPhone X is released, going to get the business plan with three lines for $180/mo. unlimited everything.

On my ATT plan, I currently use 16+ gb/month (unlimited) They throttle at around 20.

What say my Verizon users?

22gb.

Verizon also only streams in 480p now. They took away the 1080p streaming

Basically means no netflix, watch espn games, Facebook videos, etc will ever be in 1080p again. Everything is 480p and will be fuzzy

On the pay per gigs, yes. On the Unlimited like OP is getting, no.

AT&T's grandfathered unlimited is throttled after 22 gb. I was told this by a rep about a month ago.

Verizon has two tiers of unlimited. One limits to 480p the other allows 720p. Pretty much what T Mobile does with the One and One Plus.

Also, they allow 1080p through tablets and I assume laptops when tethering. Tethering gets throttled at 15GB.

You could be deprioritized after 22GB it doesn't mean you will be. I'm at 34GB for the month and I'm at full speed right now. I've noticed videos get fuzzy for a minute or two a few times but that's it. In my experience even when you're slowed down it's no where near the throttled speeds carriers have done in the past.
