Verizon customers who currently use postpaid services will have to open a new prepaid account to take advantage of the unlimited hotspot data option.

Customers also get a $5 discount if they choose to pay with a credit or debit card and configure their payment settings to "auto-pay." Deeper discounts are available for previous customers of the company's prepaid service, as well as, users of multiple lines. The $70 per month cost for Verizon's prepaid hotspot plan is more than reasonable when you take into account the fact that the service includes unlimited data. In short, anyone who would benefit from broadband service if it were available will find Verizon's unlimited hotspot service to their liking. Hotspots not only provide rural internet users with a means other than broadband service to stay connected, but is also essential to remote workers, digital nomads, individuals on location, and others. The plan from Verizon has been popular with customers that have been unable to secure high-bandwidth internet by other means. The only throttling that takes place with the plan is the normal service fluctuations that all users experience as it corresponds to the demand on carrier towers. Verizon recently made an updated plan available to customers that is truly unlimited and without caps of any time. And if you are not the owner of an account that was established more than a few years ago, it is likely you have an "unlimited" plan that includes limits on your data and throttling once your data cap is reached. Truly unlimited cell phone plans have almost gone the way of the dinosaur.
