Verizon updates T&Cs to further redefine "unlimited" data usage
After Verizon's ambiguousness ended up hitting it right
where it hurts (read: the wallet), the carrier cleaned
up its act a bit and redefined "unlimited" in a hot-off-
the-press version of its Terms & Conditions. While
perusing through the legalese, you'll notice that
checking out "continuous web camera posts or broadcasts
/ automatic data feeds (RSS)" are strictly prohibited,
right along with P2P sharing or using your
BroadbandAccess as a "substitute or backup for private
lines or dedicated data connections." Moving on, you'll
also see that exceeding 5GB of usage during any single
billing period gives Verizon the right to "reduce
throughput speeds of any application that would
otherwise exceed such speed to a maximum of
approximately 200Kbps." It gets worse -- these speeds
are (unsurprisingly) "subject to change," so it sounds
like your connection can be throttled right on down to a
crawl should you pass the 5GB barrier. Have fun!*
