Yeah, I know that if I go back to Verizon, they have a higher cap before they start to slow things down. Last resort, I guess. There have been a few new cell towers put up in the last few years, so hopefully some of that coverage will improve. But for now, Verizon has had the best coverage around here. Looking forward to an updated driving test map!

I've noticed that the Verizon network has gone downhill in the Upper Valley area, mainly Hanover over the last year or two. We're thinking of switching to Tmobile, which some of my local friends have in our town and it actually gets service in our rural town in some parts.

There is no cap for unlimited data plans for Verizon, just hot spotting. The only issue you can run into is de-prioritization, which is just a fancy word for slowing your data down a bit during peak hours in heavily congested areas. All of southern VT is rural enough that it doesn't matter....you'll really only run into that issue occasionally up in Champlain Valley.

The other folks are correct- you get what you pay for. Every other company outside of the big 3 rent the shitty parts of the network and sell it to you. There will always be a catch if it seems to cheap to be true.

Source- I work with Verizon (not for, WITH) for my job.

There is a cap in a sense, if you go beyond 22GB/line they will throttle your speeds -

Again, there is no cap.

Will it sounds like a cap, and feels like a cap. A valve? A bottle neck either is a restriction. So, a soft cap, nice and felty
