And of course the Verizon Unlimited plan has never really meant

Recently they've taken a new approach, throttling:

But IMO that's a good thing since the data hogs slow down the system
for the rest of us 'reasonable' users, present company excepted of
course... ;)

If I were a grandfathered unlimited data plan customer I'd be very upset
at the throttling. Verizon should have waited until all the contracts of
the unlimited data customers expired before implementing throttling.

There is no throttling. They have instituted a data limit that they
charge you extra if you go above it.
