 Verizon's EVDO broadband service has long been advertised as "unlimited", but now, the company is working to change its messaging to reflect reality - there is a 5GB per month cap on this service. Broadband Reports.com has pointed out that the TOS still says,
"Unlimited Data Plans and Features (such as NationalAccess, BroadbandAccess, Push to Talk, and certain VZEmail services) may ONLY be used with wireless devices for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access (including access to corporate intranets, email, and individual productivity applications like customer relationship management, sales force, and field service automation). The Unlimited Data Plans and Features MAY NOT be used for any other purpose."
It does take some time to update all the marketing literature! From a forum post by Verizon VP Jeffery Nelson to this site:
"Been reading and want to acknowledge that we added the 5GB language to the Ts and Cs of our "Unlimited FOR" BroadbandAccess plan several months ago. And, as some have noted here, while the Ts and Cs have remained the same, for those who don't go through the fine-print and get their impression of what the "plan" is just from advertising, we've been migrating the visuals away from a big "unlimited for" to providing more detailed information about our monthly broadband plan."
Its nice to know that they admit it, finally .
