Starting October 1, Verizon will begin throttling some of its "unlimited" LTE users, according to an official announcement. The carrier promises that only five percent of that group -- those using 4.7GB or more per month -- will be affected, and "only in places and at times when the network is experiencing high demand." Unlimited 3G access has been throttled in a similar manner for some time.
Verizon has been attempting to transition most of its subscribers over to tiered data plans, but people with grandfathered unlimited plans have kept full service, throttling notwithstanding. Customers on "More Everything" plans are not currently subject to throttling measures.

I purposely buy used phones to keep my unlimited data. I guess it's time to jump ship now and go with T-Mobile or Sprint. Bye, bye, Verizon.
