Re: [apple-iphone] Verizon to kill unlimited data plans for existing subscribers

 

How are they reselling what yo are not using? Do they run around behind you with a magical vacuum and suck them up as you don't use them? Or do they grab them just as your next cycle starts? But then they have expired, so how do they use them?

Think of it more like booking an airplane. As long as they don't overbook, they are just selling their capacity. Everyone gets to their destination, and the planes are full.

So far, I have not heard of a single case where they have over sold the capacity they have. During disasters, I have heard of problems getting through, but the disaster is the reason everyone is grabbing their phone trying to call someone.

They may claim that on data, but I think their throttling claims are just hokum. It might exceed the normal average, but it goes through. Hell, I'm more upset on the speeds or should I say the lack of speed?

Makes me mad they're reselling what I already paid for. That's Capitolism though.
