Verizon Unlimited how's it working for you?

I switched our plan about a month ago and I'm not really happy with it. My computer doesn't like 3g service. The internet continually goes off and then I get a DNS error. I have to restart my computer, sometimes 2 and 3 times and I have to turn my jetpack off and back on at least 1 time as well.

I have never tried to stream anything on my computer or tv - can't imagine how long it would take at 3g service!

Things like short movies shared on Facebook are slow to buffer and opening more than 1 or 2 tabs makes everything really slow. And, heaven forbid my husband get on the internet on his tablet while I'm on the computer - it's a battle to see who can get their pages opened first.

I'm thinking about calling and switching back - which I was told I could do and I made sure it was noted in my records. I had the 30GB plan before and only really had 1 or 2 close times where we went over by 1GB for the month.

I also hate how Verizon tells you it's all unlimited but it really is a limited plan - they slow it down and still control what you can and cannot do with your internet. It's unlimited but really slow!

Any other plans out there that allow you to have 4g lte on an unlimited basis?

I live in the same area as you and used 35gb on my line alone last month, with about 25gb from WiFi tethering to another device. I haven't noticed any slow down at all. How much are you using a month before you start seeing it slow down?

It slowed down pretty much the same minute I hit the 10GB on the jet pack. They sent me notification of my hitting that limit and the issues started that same afternoon.

Ok, that's the difference probably, I'm not using a jet pack. I'm just tethering from my phone.

Also add another person mentioned, I had one of those $5 a month jet packs last year and I was able to stream Netflix all day long at the 3G speeds. So when Verizon throttles now, maybe they are restricting it too much.
