Verizon to disconnect unlimited data customers who use over 100GB/month
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/07/verizon-to-disconnect-unlimited-data-customers-who-use-over-100gbmonth/
Verizon stopped offering unlimited data to new smartphone
customers a few years ago, but some customers have been able
to hang on to the old plans instead of switching to ones with
monthly data limits. Verizon has tried to convert the holdouts
by raising the price $20 a month and occasionally throttling
heavy users but stopped that practice after net neutrality
rules took effect. Now Verizon is implementing a formal policy
for disconnecting the heaviest users.

How the hell do the carriers get away with outright lying and fraud
when they use the term unlimited? Follow the money.
