This is what I believe has been the issue all along.
It has nothing to do with the top 5% as I doubt the top 5% threshold is 2GB. I am sure it is quite higher. It has to do with them attempting to make people pay the same or more for less.In other words, pay $30 for "unlimited" service where you're actually only getting 2 GB of data before your phone becomes useless, or sign up for a 3GB tier for the same price so you're in line to get socked with the usage overages of tomorrow.

My Verizon plan includes a grandfathered unlimited data for $29.99 and if want change I can get 2GB for $30, 5GB for $50 or 10GB for $80.

Well, as much as I like Verizon's reliability, I think I'll keep my Sprint Plan for at least another year.

I was complaining more than bragging.

The unlimited plan worked good to get new customers on board. Now that they got the customers into a nice 2 year contract they can change things around so they can start making money and stop maxing out their network... Brilliant plan for the accountants...

I got it as well for using 2.1GB. I doubt the 5% mark is at 2GB. I think they are making it up and using the 2GB mark because it is right below the 3GB plan for the same price. I believe this is a way for them to get the unlimited users whom use just less than 3GB to switch over to a limited plan for the same price. Originally Posted by rockymtnhigh

For those that have received the message did you start getting throttled? If you did what were your speeds like?
