Let's keep this going! Even if there's a small chance the government can do anything, it's still worth a try.
LTE & LTE-Advanced with carrier aggregation is capable of handling lots, and lots of traffic without speeds suffering.

doesnt the government interfere with business enough?
Why in the world would we want the White House involved in how the Wireless industry does business (any more than it already is?)

I'll be the first to admit that data prices from the top carriers are too high, which is why I'm so excited about:

But selling anything on an "unlimited" basis kind of requires the background knowledge that the "middle 99%" of your customers consume about the same amount of product (maybe a 5x or 10x difference).
This is why Chinese Restaurants can get away with buffet pricing. Almost everyone who comes in will eat 2 or 3 plates full. Some will eat only one, but nobody will eat 15 plates of food during a single meal, so the manager can count on the law of averages to make things work out at the end of the month.

So essentially what he suggested to me to keep my Unlimited data was more of a work-around than a solution...?

Essentially, yes.
Verizon is doing everything they can to phase out unlimited data, and I can't call that a bad thing entirely. I believe people should pay for what they use and NOT pay for what they DON'T use (my smartphone bill with Ting last month was less than $31, with a little over 500 minutes and a little under 500 MB- try and beat that value somewhere else).
