Sprint’s plans to cap (literally) mobile hotspot users have been known for quite a while now. Mobile data card users, however, were thought to have escaped unscathed. Too bad they didn’t. A new chart from Sprint has leaked, showing that the current awesome deal of capped 3G and unlimited 4G will soon be replaced by the now standard (and terribly priced) data tiers in 2 GB, 5 GB and 10 GB flavors — no grandfathered options. Going over your allotted...
That’s a wrap, folks! Verizon’s $30 unlimited plan is gone (likely forever). In its place are overpriced tiers offering a pittance of data at their respective price levels. If you managed to squeak into Verizon yesterday solely for the purpose of keeping a grandfathered data plan, we congratulate you. While we are critical of Verizon’s new data plans we do have to give them some credit. While Verizon is allowing you to keep your unlimited data plan...
The tiered VZW data plans and their too high pricing have been rumored and leaked a couple of times over the last several weeks.

Did you know that in 2011 the people of the world will have created/replicated over 1.8 Zetabytes of data (1,800,000,000,000 Gigabytes) and that by 2015 that number is set to rise beyond 7.9 Zetabytes? According to the inforgraph put together by EMC claims each single gigabyte we store can create up to a Petabyte (1,000,000 Gigabytes) of transient data — wireless signals, landline signals such as cable, etc. All in all, the digital world is exploding. ...
Verizons upcoming data plan shake-up is now confirmed for July 7th thanks to a mountain of material leaked to Android Central. Pricing for the lowest data tier now starts at 2 GB for $30/month and climb to $80/month for 10 GB of data. Hotspot access will set you back an additional $20 for 2 GB of data allotment while overages are a flat $10/GB. Pricing is the same for both 3G and 4G. In short: These plans suck. Majorly. But don’t take our word for it. Hop inside...
