This all makes sense due to one Verizon has learned from AT&T that Video is Expense to push and take a lot more equipment set up to get their TV Network up so instead of doing FIOS they can piggy back off of Dish. Just like AT&T saw that its not cheap to offer TV so they slowed down on their U verse TV so they can just use Direct. So overall this adds up it will just be up to Dish to agree but it could be a win win for both parties and a way for both of them to compete with Cable Companies.. Which do Not offer Cell service so the advantage would be with Dish and Verizon heck since I'm on Dish and have Sprint if they offer a good enough of a deal I might think about switching to Verizon. Especially if they offer a Unlimited Data plan like AT&T does if you have Direct TV..

I checked it out and it costs an extra $10/mo if you don't use autopay, which is new to verizon to charge for. That said, the only reason I won't switch is cuz they won't let me get my 15% government discount on unlimited, saying it's exempt from the discount. I never go over on my data as it is and the rollover helps with busier months, so I'll save what is essentially a $32 bill increase for my 4 lines and keep what I have.
While they said they may slow speeds, what the finer details say is they will slow you under those circumstances if the tower you are on is under a heavy load. ATT does it the same way and has rarely ever had to throttle under those circumstances. I do think teathering is actually limited to 10gb a month, so not unlimited for that.
The New Verizon Plan was a nice benefit even if you don't need unlimited. My current plan was only 2GB (single, one phone)...with the new plan, I was bumped to 5GB for the same price, kept carryover data, and now the "safety mode" is included at no extra charge.
The cheapest I can get Top 250 with HBO, Movie pack , 2 Joeys is
$136.73
Thats with $10 autopay credit, $10 HBO, $5 movie pack, and 6% sales tax.
And actually I pay about $155-160 on a 6 room system with Free HBO, $5 movie pack, $5 Cinemax.
And Only the Top200.
Thats including my $25 in credits.
Wonder if the Verizon unlimited deal is a precursor to a Dish merger. You'd need unlimited data if you want to stream Dish Anywhere or Sling TV. This seems similar to what ATT did when they acquired DirectTV, although they require you to have DTV before you can get unlimited data. The plot thickens!!
I think it has more to do with the administration trying to change the net neutrality rules.
Except it might make it more expensive for those of us who don't want to bundle.

I switched my lines over to the new Verizon Unlimited plan today. Considering that I get up to 90 mbps off the tower near my house, that's almost 4 times the top speed of my DSL. I'm a happy camper today 
Something is going to happen in the very near future.
I see a lot of huge Dish stock purchases .

At the rate we are going with all these mergers/acquisitions, there is eventually going to be a single company that owns everything there is and provides every service that exists.

I don't see what a Yahoo deal has anything to do with Dish?
4.8 billion is a drop in a hat and has nothing to do with a Cable or Satellite merger that could take place.
