Some of you may know that I have become sort of an activist against Verizon and have stopped using them as my carrier about a month ago. I'd like to have a chance to give back more to the community and at the same time make Verizon pay for locking our darn bootloaders!

I'm calling for a contest to use as much data in the month of September as humanly possible! I'm talking tethering to 10 PC's and streaming non-stop if you want to win!
Of course there are going to be a few rules to this...

1. Be on an unlimited data plan. We are NOT responsible for how much data you use and if you go over your normal amount.
2. Be honest. For the winner I need confirmation in method of multiple screenshots from the MyVerizon data tracker app, the built-in data monitoring, and /or the MyVerizon website. I will only require these from the winner and no personal information would be publicized, used only to verfiy you actually used that much data.

Now... for the goodies!

First place:
$25 Google Play Gift Card! + Custom Member Title of your choosing.

Second place:
$10 Google Play Gift Card! + Custom Member Title of your choosing.

Third, Forth, Five place:
Custom Member Title of your choosing.

This is hard to setup because of how everyone is set on a different billing cycle, but whatever is closest to September is what we shall use! As long as it ends around the middle to end of September you are eligible. THIS IS BASED ON 1 BILLING CYCLE SO ITS EASIER TO TRACK!

EDIT: I am allowing any cycle that ends in September to make it simpler!

Remember to have fun! Use all the bandwidth you can get your hands on!

No one else sent in official entries it seems! Great job to all who participated, Google Play cards will be PM'd to first and second place winners, and the third place winner (Armus) can PM me for a custom title of his choice.

Thanks for playing!

Btw how does 5gb per night in 30 days equal more than 150gb? No where near 750

Cycle ends September 19th, most usage I have ever had is 40GB.

Well, I could try to beat it again. So far I have used 0.242 GB (247.61 MB).

I have a question? Wouldn't big red start to throttle us if we start going overboard?

Could be wrong but I think they throttle once you hit 60GB. I've heard from a few people that they didn't get throttled until after 100GB.

You might be right. I've only read stories about people who are beyond "the last mile" and have to use VZW 3G/4G as their primary source of Internet (god forbid) anyway I've seen these people complain on the official VZW customer service forum about being throttled and VZW admitting it. Apparently they have to call and rag on big red once a month to get their Internet going again because they've been throttled to a crawl. So 60-100GB on my computer, easy peasy..on my phone seems impossible.

And if anyone is ever in need of a good laugh go read those VZW customer service forums on verizonwireless.com. It's comical to see the type of stuff "regular" customers complain about.

Scare tactic. They can't change her plan unless her contract is over. It's illegal.
