So for 10 MHz that's 150 Mbps per sector. LTE has a spectral efficiency of 15 bps per Hz. Verizon uses a total 10 MHz for uplink and 10 MHz for downlink. You don't have to believe 2+2=4 it still is 4. Is that fair? You don't have to believe me. Guess what a couple dozen people sharing your sector trying to stream HD video will eat up most the of bandwidth and everyone else will get slow data connections. To think a 1000 people can stream HD Netflix at the same time not realistic. The fact is a tower can only handle so much data at one time. You comment shows your lack of knowledge. And it also has nothing to do with overheating. That's why you can't use a Verizon Galaxy SIII on another carrier and vise versa. Mobile companies don't use the same spectrum. If Verizon offered unlimited data you don't think people would start tethering their phones to their PCs? Why would I continue to pay $50 a month to Charter if I can get unlimited data from Verizon and tether my phone to my PC? Also if people are using 2-4 GB a month then why all the clamoring for unlimited? Why do you need unlimited if you are using only 4 GB a month?

Share Everything plans have free tethering included. Also they are only using 2-4 GB because they are capped. Since the avg consumer uses only 2-4 gigs of data monthly how does placing data limits and charging for overages prevent overwhelming the capacity of any tower? How is it that all wireless companies use the same towers yet the towers are not going up in smoke because of overuse on a particular hertz spectrum. Yep that's the ticket!īut if the same data is being used by customers regardless of the hypothetical "everyone using unlimited data" how does that change anything. Not to mention the billions in lost revenue due to customer defection because of this genius plan. To overcharge you so they can be investigated by the government and the CEO put in prison for a few extra $$$$. Yes you figured out Verizon's nefarious plan. Unfotunate for the consumer and more profits for the company. I think most consumers realize that relying on a large company to have honest practices where no checks and balances exist is non-existent. Until then we are all at the mercy of the company having honest practices. Eventually this will be brought to the FTC and proven an unfair practice. I would assume at some point since this will become a problem as customers realize they are being taken advantage of. Unless customers have the ability to verify how much data they are actually using the consumer is at the complete mercy of the company and their data use measurement practices. This is probably the reason unlimited data plans are no longer and for consumers is a conflict of interest. Since no customer can prove how much data is actually used, Verizon could be at liberty to bill as much data as they wish. I suppose that Verizon is a for profit company. What are the possible reasons for this matter? Just yesterday, the numbers starting jumping again. There was a period about three days ago where it showed the appropriate amount of bandwidth I used on average, I used two hundred mb a day. This problem has been consistent for approximately three months and I have tried several attempts to finding a solution.

After the download completed, I checked my bandwidth monitor and it stated that I had used already 600 mb of data! Then, without engaging in more activity, I watched the amount of mb I was using spike to 670. I went to about four different websites and re chose Avast (after uninstalling it), in which it informed me would take up about 150 mb. For instance, today I came online to find a different anti virus program because I was unsure if what I had currently was faulty. However, after some documentation through monitoring my bandwidth and matching it to the websites that I visit, I discovered a highly disproportionate ratio. This is demonstrated through bandwidth monitoring, disabling automatic updates, not streaming, not uploading images, and downloading a minimum amount of pages. I surf the web daily as a source of income but am very conscientious of my usage. I need to address an issue that has been disrupting the maximum benefits of using VW's service.
