From CNET: Verizon Wireless customers with a grandfathered unlimited data plan can breath a sigh of relief.
The nation's largest wireless carrier by subscriber base said Wednesday that it would no longer go through with its "network optimization" policy, which was its plan to limit the data speeds of its most excessive users.
"We've greatly valued the ongoing dialogue over the past several months concerning network optimization and we've decided not to move forward with the planned implementation of network optimization for 4G LTE customers on unlimited plans," the carrier said in a statement.
The decision comes amid criticism it faced from its base of unlimited data customers -- people who held on to their plans even as Verizon eliminated the option when it moved to shared and tiered data offerings -- as well as from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler, who called the proposed change "disturbing." The policy, which already affects 3G customers, was supposed to go into effect for its 4G customers starting today.
