Verizon is Now Throttling Video on All Unlimited Plans

Verizon has announced that its unlimited plan is being split into three plans with more restrictions and throttling.

A new Go Unlimited plan costs $75/month with paper-free billing and AutoPay for a single line. Subscribers on this plan could be throttled at any time if the network is congested even at the beginning of a billing cycle. Video is throttled down to 480p on a smartphone and 720p on a tablet. There's no way to increase the resolution. Mobile hotspot speeds are capped at 600 kbps.

The new Beyond Unlimited is $85/month with paper-free billing and AutoPay for a single line. Subscribers could be throttled after exceeding 22GB in a billing cycle. If you sign a two year contract that limit is upped to 25GB. Video streaming is throttled down to 720p on a smartphone and 1080p on a tablet. There's no way to increase the resolution on either device. The plan gives you up to 15GB of LTE speeds when using mobile hotspot. Video streaming while tethered is also limited to 1080p. Subscribers of this plan get free calling, texting, and data in Mexico and Canada.
