Overage charges have mostly gone the way of the dinosaurs, and that deserves a cheer. After your first 50 GB on the Get More, Do More, or Play More plans and during times of high traffic on the 5G Start plan, Verizon could slow your speed down to 600 Kbps or less. If you’re on a prepaid cell phone plan (both with a data cap and the unlimited data plan), you might feel like your internet browsing is in slow motion if you exceed your data limit and Verizon throttles you back to 128 Kbps. For those on the “new Verizon Plan,” where you can choose from small (S), medium (M), and large (L) data packages, you’re still stuck paying overage charges of $15 per GB.
