Verizon customers have one month to curb their mobile data consumption, find a new provider, or face being disconnected.
A recent change to the carrier’s plan threatened to cut off users in excess of 100GB per month. Now, another wave of customers are facing suspension. As reported by Droid Life, Verizon last week announced that those who average 200GB a month will be pushed off the unlimited tier. The change affects only “a small group of customers,” the tech blog said.
Subscribers have two options—move to limited Verizon plan by Feb. 16, or get disconnected and switch to a different provider.
The carrier stopped offering unlimited plans to new customers in 2011. A year later, it required those upgrading service to say farewell to unlimited, too. So, at this point, fewer than 1 percent of consumers are on unlimited plans, and only a fraction of them use inordinate amounts of data.
