After the new post-paid plans announced by Verizon earlier in the month, it seemed like only a matter of time before changes to their prepaid plans as well. Well, that time has come. Verizon has updated their prepaid plans, and taking inspiration from the 'Safe Mode' throttling available in their post-paid plans, included "Always-On" throttled data at no extra cost.
Perhaps unlike the revisions made to the post-paid offerings, the changes made to Verizon's prepaid plans are actually a solid upgrade. The main feature to be added to Verizon's prepaid offerings, last revised in May, is the inclusion of 'Always-On' data throttling when prepaid data limits have been reached. Like 'Safe Mode,' 'Always-On' throttles data down to 128Kb/second when the data limit on the plan has been reached. Unlike 'Safe Mode,' 'Always-On' comes at no additional charge to prepaid customers. Verizon claims that 'Always-On' is enough for using social media and sending email, which it may well be, but doing so is going to be near dial-up levels of slow.
