Verizon (finally) launching unlimited data plan

Verizon will begin offering unlimited data plans to customers starting Monday. The move marks an about-face for Verizon, which has steadfastly refused to offer unlimited data plans for fear of obliterating the bottom line, choosing instead to focus on network quality for the highest-paying customers. The Verizon Unlimited plan costs $80 a month for a single line or $45 a month per line for a family of four. With that, customers receive unlimited voice, data and text messaging — although Verizon says that after any single line uses more than 22 GB of data in a month, mobile data speeds may be slowed down for the plan.
