Screwing with Verizon

[wchill]

I wanted to see how much data I could use this month (I have unlimited data).

Drumroll please...

Hah, that's for FiOS, their fiber to the home service.
I'm using LTE and tethering.

Won't this just encourage them to stop offering unlimited data?

Does Verizon offer unlimited internet? I'm currently using this Mifi 4gb a month piece of shit.

I hate Verizon's scummy practices so much I plan on leaving soon.

Grandfathered plan.

Grandfathered plan.

Awh, I kind of got excited.

Pretty adorable. (I don't have a cap either.)

 

[BORTZ]

Do you pay to tether? I cause I know they frown on tethering on unlimited

X_X How much pr0n stuff do you guys download?!? Doesn't the data speed get super slow after passing a certain amount of GB?

 

[Etheboss]

Hmm, unlimited should be unlimited... i download a lot more then 77GB...

My highscore is 1715,97 GB in 1 month.

PS.. Actually it's more but this is my usenet download...i only got statistics for this one.

On Verizon LTE, no.
The torrent in the picture is a ROM pack.

My goal is to hit 2TB in a month (not this month though). I can easily download 150GB-200GB per day, hehe.

I still have to download everything on my seedbox this month (~500GB)...

Can you explain how you are doing this and they just dont care? Are you paying Verizon directly to be able to tether or are you using some other free tethering service like PDAnet or something?

 

[Hells Malice]

I never thought how much a person downloads per month would turn into an e-peen jerkoff.
...but i'm honestly not surprised.

Anyone with the internet to do so can download TBs a month, it ain't hard.

EDIT: Oh and I know that wasn't the explicit point of the thread, just moreso what it's heading towards.

 

[Zerousen]

Never really was able to use data at all, as even though I had an unlimited data plan, I have Sprint, and living in an area with terrible Sprint coverage, it was even worse.

 

[PityOnU]

This is a bad idea as they have a precedent of pruning top users every month.

Making yourself stick out like that is asking for trouble.

I end up using about 20GB a month streaming video and such, but it's certainly not outrageous like that.

You seem to want to leave though so more power to you.

You're a badass, aren't you?
