Verizon will cut off unlimited data users who use too much unlimited data
Verizon's continuing its ongoing mission to pare down the number of customers on unlimited data plans by migrating them to ones with hard limits. Recently, the company came up with a way to get rid of its biggest data hogs.
Verizon is notifying customers using an "extraordinary" amount of data per month that they must move off their unlimited data plan by Aug. 31. If they don't switch, the carrier will disconnect their accounts, though they'll have 50 days to reactivate them on a limited plan, as first reported by Droid Life.
"Extraordinary" usage appears to be people who are sucking down more than 100GB every month. Verizon told Ars Technica that a very small number of users are exceeding 100GB every month on a single device. The carrier deems this as extraordinary since its largest monthly plan offers that amount of data as a shared bucket used by multiple devices.
