Verizon Makes It Easy To Go Over Your Data Cap

Posted by Soulskill on from the as-it-was-as-it-ever-shall-be dept.

jfruhlinger writes "Verizon Wireless has revamped its video service; many Android phones can now stream full episodes from a number of current TV shows. You can even choose to just buy access for a day if you don't see yourself using the service often. Sounds great, right? Well, except for the part where all of Verizon's current smartphone plans have data caps — and the new service makes it awfully easy to go over them and incur overage charges."

    Three in Ireland just launched free internet up to 15GB per month on a pay as you go scheme. Top up by 20 euros and you get internet, free calls to other Three users and other stuff for a month, plus the 20 call credit for landline / other network calls. Not bad but I don't know how their broadband will work in practice since it's likely to be swamped with new subscribers.
