Verizon (Vz)) Brings back an unlimited data plan.
From Monday, Verizon customers can obtain unlimited data, discussions and SMS for $ 80.
The company claims that the new introductory plan also includes up to 10 GB of use of mobile hotspot, as well as calls and SMS in Mexico and Canada. It will also allow customers to broadcast an unlimited HD video, cutting their noses to the controversial T-Mobile practice to reduce video quality for some of its unlimited data customers.
Although the new Verizon plan promises “quick LTE speeds”, those who use a lot of data can suffer. The company said that after a customer used 22 GB of data on a line during any billing cycle, it “can prioritize use behind other customers in the event of network congestion”. This has become a standard practice on all networks that offer unlimited data plans.

Verizon first eliminated its version from an unlimited use plan in 2011, following similar decisions by other major wireless operators.
But companies regularly revive such plans.
Verizon first revised its data use plans last summer when it introduced a new “safety mode” plan. This technically gave customers access to unlimited data, but they were subjected to slow speeds like Molasses after exceeding their attributed data.
AT&T also eliminated customer surpassing costs in September. Like Verizon, at & t throttles of customers accelerates once they reach the data limit on their plans. The company brought unlimited plans earlier last year, but it is only available for houses with the At & T wireless telephone service and Directv or U-Ver television.
Meanwhile, competitors Mobile (Tmus)) And Sprint (S)) have made their own offers to attract customers looking for “unlimited data” plans.

Last August, Sprint began to offer a plan to give customers discussions, text and high -speed data for $ 60 for the first line, $ 40 for the next and $ 30 for each supplement up to 10.
The T-Mobile plan, the same day announced as Sprint's, billed $ 70 per month for the first line, the second at $ 50 and the additional lines are only $ 20, up to eight lines.
