Only that it was false advertising and it should have been disclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I hate how those companys brag up "unlimited" but the fine print is 2gb at 4g speed and after that your at dial up speeds.... People fall for it all the time tho! I'm with Verizon and still have my grandfathered in unlimited and it is a truly unlimited service it's just too bad they don't offer that anymore. AT&T sucks anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
