Verizon Wireless is launching a new tier to its prepaid mobile broadband offering that increase the current max data usage available from 1GB p/mo to 5GB p/mo. Now customers can pay $80 p/mo for 5GB of data.
This is what the other tiers look like:
- $50 buys 1GB of data every 30 days.
- $30 buys 300MB of data every 7 days.
- $15 buys 100MB of data every 24 hours.
Verizon Wireless also recently refreshed some of its wireless broadband options. For the post-paid, contract-signing crowd, the $60/month for 5GB and $40/month for 250MB remain intact. The $60 price point for 5GB of data has been in place for years.
Verizon’s new 5 GB for $80 plan is said to present “contract-phobic, high-end users with a viable option.”
But, for many it may just convince them of the need to sign a contract and see the rate reduced to $60 p/mo for the same amount of data usage – 5GB p/mo.
