I've kept my unlimited data plan for years for a reason. My current plan is 900 minutes, unlimited text messages, and unlimited data. I have not abused the unlimited data and have paid my bill on time for several years.
If Verizon is going to ad on a $20 fee then there is no reason to stay with the company.

I don't find it amusing how Verizon keeps trying to punish the 1% of customers still on the Grandfathered unlimited data plan cause we choose to keep our current plan instead of getting price gouged by Verizon's new plans and excluding the fact we are Verizon's oldest customers, cause we are not seeking special treatment but simply what is fair.

This is how you treat loyal customers Verizon? I have been with you for over 10 years, but I guess you just want to nickel and dime your customers. If you raise the data plan, I'm taking my 4 lines to tmobile.

Verizon is evil yet I still stick with them. It's like being in an abusive relationship.
Looks like a mass exodus come November 15th. Good riddance.

How can you do this? I'm not on a contract and I pay for my phone in full. This is just going to cost me more and I will be forced to go with another wireless carrier.

I've been a Verizon customer for 16/17 years. This announcement seems like pure greed and a bad display of customer appreciation. This is how you reward your most loyal customers? According to reports, the unlimited data plan stopped being offered to new customers as of 2011, so we know these customers have been loyal to Verizon for at least 4 years. But I guess that means nothing to you. Stories also state that less than 1% of customers are grandfathered into the unlimited data plan, so is keeping the status quo really that big of a detriment to your profit margins. I suspect not.
I am very disappointed with this extreme hike. $20 more monthly is a lot for an already pricey network. But I guess there is a silver lining. I've been buying used phones out-of-contract to stay on unlimited data. But now I can upgrade to a new swanky phone on ANOTHER network. With the unlimited data gone and far beyond my price expectations for it, I have no reason to remain with Verizon.

Verizon, please don't raise our rates.. I have been a loyal customer for 15 years now, and tend not to abuse my unlimited data privileges unless I am traveling. Do the right thing and take care of your long time customers. Set a reasonable throttle limit for users that use over 25 GB's a month. That seems more than fair.

Well if they raise my rates, my 5 line account I've held there for ages will be migrating to a new carrier. They have been a PITA for a long time(I used to work for them), and it's just getting worse. This would amount to a $100 increase on my monthly bill, how the hell is that acceptable.

This is not fair. I don't want changes on my bill. My phone works fine and don't want to be forced to upgrade. I have a special case wallet for my phone and if I upgrade phones I have invest more money. I paid full price for my iPhone $900 3 years ago for peace of mind now Verizon is tapping into my consistant bill which is paid on time. I don't use loads of data just want peace of mind of not going over and $30 a month is plenty. Where are the lawyers?

If they do go through with it then I'm streaming Netflix and Google play movies 24/7. I'll definitely get my $20 worth.
