Re: [apple-iphone] Re: Which Carrier’s iPhone 4S Will Be the Fastest? [MAP]

Grandfathered Unlimited ;-). I have been paying $30/mo to both Verizon and
AT&T since 2007 just so when they inverted I would still have it. When I
upgraded my Verizon the Droid Bionic with LTE I blew through 2GB in the
first week. I purposefully kept WiFi turned off to make sure they didn't
limit my "Unlimited" - I got to 6GB to make sure then I started using WiFi
when available.
