This is outrageous! How can they just increase a plan that has always been the same price for a very long time? I have been with Verizon Wireless for many years, and this price hike will CERTAINLY get me to change wireless companies and I will try to take as many customers with me as I can. T-Mobile works perfectly fine in my neighborhood and at work (I have a T-Mobile work phone) and they still offer unlimited EVERYTHING for $80. I only stuck around for loyalty, and Verizon Wireless has shown completely that they are not loyal to their customers. I will do everything in my power to start a movement with as many people as possible to ruin Verizon. They just keep taking, and taking, and taking wherever they can, and I'm just fed up!

Ridiculous to punish those who have stuck with Verizon for all these years. Only 1% have unlimited data and that is suppose make a difference for their already stuffed pockets? Greedy

We have worked hard to keep our unlimited data! There is less than 1% of us left that still have it cant they leave us measly 1% alone! We have spent $1500 on 2 phones for me and my husband twice now to be able to keep it and now they are trying to force us out by increasing the cost!! Shows they appreciate the Loyalty of their customers!

This is just more Verizon being greedy. And it is unfair since I have to pay full price for any new phones I buy. The FTC needs to step in here

This sucks....also Verizon is lying to FCC to avoid any action and acting like we are the bad guys. At least other companies keep their customers interest at heart.

I've been a loyal customer to Verizon since the beginning of the Unlimited Data Plan. I've never missed a payment. I've always felt very highly of them. But through the years, I have gotten continually poked in the eye by them. What's up Verizon? How about you back off a little. This isn't a great way to treat a loyal customer. But, you really don't care about loyalty, do you? All you care about is money...money...money...money!!!

May be a form of crony capitalism or just a gentle way to force people out of unlimited data. $20/mo will not motivate people to quit their unlimited data plans...it will just infuriate them and reduce verizon's popularity .

I am grandfathered in and do not agree with the increase with no added benefit. I will be leaving the company if this charge does not go away.

Recently bought a phone without any subsidies in exchange of the promise by the store that my UDP (UNLIMITED DATA PLAN) will not change. 17 Days after buying the GS6 at retail price, the announcement of a price increase contradicted what has been told to me by Verizon Wireless reps at this location "The Village at Allen, 190 E Stacy Rd #4030, Allen, TX 75002". Went back asking for refund on my phone because I am now looking into switching carriers due to having 3 unlimited lines (increase of $60 total) whose all phones have been bought at retail price in the past 3+ years, and I was told I cannot return my Galaxy S 6 because my 14 days have expired. Have been told I can take my phone to other carriers possibly? No guaranty, and then I would be left without any Software updates regarding security and OS upgrades, since it requires me to be on the Verizon Wireless network in order to receive them OTA updates. Basically I am forfeiting any future support to my GS6 if I leave Verizon, and other phones like the Galaxy S5 and Note 3 of possible future updates. Also we have a 4th line as emergency phone at our house with verizonwireless, which is under contract and would require also a termination fee if we were to leave due to the price increase. Those are deceptive business practices, Verizon Wireless should not be allowed to due that, do the right thing, instead of trying to alienate probably the most loyal costumers (I am a customer since October of 2009).
Whatever happened to treating your most loyal costumers right, we are not asking for subsided phone upgrades, hence most of us buying phones like the Galaxy S4 at $600, NOTE 3 at $800, the Galaxy S5 at $600+ and the Galaxy S6 at $600 at releases, while still playing the full price on services without any subsides on Verizon part on the phones or plans. Another thing that I also cannot wrap my head around, according to some of your statements, that the less than 1% costumers with UDP, most of us could save money by
