Verizon is launching a new service plan today called Above Unlimited, which is the third unlimited plan the carrier currently offers. As the presence of three “unlimited” plans might indicate, none of these plans really offer unlimited data, but Above Unlimited at least offers the most not-unlimited data out of the three plans: you’re only subject to throttling after using 75GB of data a month, or 20GB of usage as a hot spot. After those limits, your plan is subject to throttling “in times of congestion” until your allotment resets.

The new plan starts at $95 per month for a single line. That’s $10 more than the Beyond Unlimited Plan, which offers 22GB of data and 15GB of hot spot usage before throttling, and $20 more than Go Unlimited, which doesn’t appear to have a cap but throttles all video down to 480p quality and limits hot spot speeds to 600Kbps. Clearly, Verizon’s worried about streamers (at least the ones who aren’t using Go90).
