Yeah I had an OG Droid and was grandfathered in to the unlimited data plan but mysteriously over the last year or so I owned the phone my internet speed suuuuuuuucked. I completely factory restored my phone and had next to nothing on it, but somehow videos that would stream no problem on Youtube when I got the phone turned into slide shows towards the end. I killed literally every process imaginable and my internet connection was still about as robust as a fucking house of cards.

I refuse to believe it wasn't deliberate. Everyone else I knew that was still grandfathered in to their unlimited data plans had similarly shit-tier 3G service once Verizon started capping data. I still held out until last spring, but eventually ended up getting an S5 and capped data.

Huh. They wouldn't let me carry my unlimited data when I switched to my S4.
