Gonna have to go deal with the cunts at Verizon and buy a new phone. I still have the unlimited data plan so I cant upgrade, gotta buy the damn thing outright.
Verizon can go eat a bag full of dicks.
im in a similar boat with them. I too have been on the unlimited data plan for years now and just passed my two year mark with my s3 last month. decided not to change anything since the phone worked fine and was everything I need. just had to get a replacement battery pack. a couple weeks later, the headphone jack starts going, looks like its gonna be about $70 to replace. this should buy it some time but Im guessing Im going to have to buy the whole new plan once the phone gets on its deathbed, which im assuming will be before 2017..
can't believe they have let you guys get away with it this long lol. Eventually they are going to make you upgrade your plan regardless of if the phone works

New phone acquired with no changes to my data plan. They jump all over you about switching it, under the guise of trying to save you some money. They can't force you off of it though. Your options are to add a new line and switch the new phone to the unlimited plan or to purchase a phone at retail price (or a Craigslist phone etc) I'm pretty sure they don't get commission for a retail sale though, they will always try to push you off to an upgrade so they get a piece of the action. Sometimes you have to get a little rude with them to get them to drop their salesman bullshit. The guy asked about changing plans like 6 times lol.
Every time I leave that place I want to punch somebody in the cock sucker.
I never connect to the wifi. Fuck that slow bullshit
My iPhone6 support 802.11ac which gives me 280 Mbps download/upload. LTE tops out at 300 Mbps. So what exactly are you doing that 20 extra Mbps is breaking the bank?
Even if you have a shitty old phone that only supports 802.11n, that is still 100 Mbps Wifi connection which is all you need to stream 720p video to your phone without any buffering. Considering the size of phones, it would really be stupid to watch videos over say 576p as you can't see the resolution at their small sizes.
TLDR - there is nothing you could be doing on your phone that wifi is too slow for.

doesn't have anything to do with your phone specs. it has to do with a billion people using the same wifi
