Verizon increases its data caps and increases its prices

Last week, rumors floated of a restructuring of Verizon’s data plans, and today those rumors have proven largely correct. The wireless networking company has increased the sizes of all of its data plans, and it has correspondingly increased prices of those plans by $5 to $10 per month. In addition, the company is offering some limited options to rollover data, and it’s introducing a “Safety Mode” that will cut data speeds after the customer exceeds their limit—for an extra $5.

Previously, Verizon offered 1GB for $30, 3GB for $45, 6GB for $60, 12GB for $80, and 18GB for $100 per month. Now the smallest data plan caps out at 2GB for $35, followed by 4GB for $50, 8GB for $70, 16GB for $90, and 24GB for $110.

Verizon’s move to allow limited rollover data is similar to T-Mobile and Sprint’s approach. Verizon’s plan will let you carry your data over for a month before it disappears. The option to carry over data for a month is free on all plans.
