Data plans not unlimited
AT&T and Verizon do not have unlimited data plans anymore. They will have data plans that cost according to how much data you use. These plans are called the tiered plans. If you go over the amount, then it costs a lot more. If you are under, it is less. The reason that they are doing this is because many people are using too much data and the carriers have to use too much money in response to this so they can keep the speeds fast. With these new plans, it will no longer be a problem for the carriers and they will probably get more money. AT&T's plans are a little lower than the unlimited ones, but if people go over the caps, then it will probably cost more for them than the unlimited. Verizon's plans are the same as the unlimited data plan, so they will get a lot more money when people go over the caps. 80% of people are on Verizon and AT&T, so they will not get much competition, and will probably get away with this to get a little extra money.
