Verizon admits that its unlimited service is capped

AFTER ABOUT a year of denials, Verizon has finally come clean and admitted that its "unlimited" broadband service is capped at 5GB.

Previously the outfit was using a small print clause in its Terms of Service to justify switching off customers who went over 5GB. It mentioned that some things were unacceptable on its "unlimited" service such as downloading and streaming music and videos.

Since that is all part of the broadband revolution, and punters could probably legally expect streaming to be part of their package, Verizon has changed its terms of service. Now it says that their unlimited plan can only be used for up to 5GB a month otherwise usage will be considered unacceptable and service will be terminated.

Anyone using more than 5 GB per line in a given month is "presumed to be using the service in a manner prohibited" and the outfit can immediately terminate the service of any such person without notice," Verizon said.

Clearly then 5GB is "unlimited" which must send the science of mathematics into a spin, since infinity cannot be defined.
