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.

I was at 7.7gigs this morning and I got throttled for 24 hours. I believe the throttling is essentially as advertised "network optimisation" as when I primarily used data in an area with many other VZW 4G users, I hit 21gigs before getting throttled for the rest of the cycle but at home where 4G only recently entered and many are still on 3G, I have gotten throttled at 5gigs. I think it has less to do with total use and more with how fast in a certain time frame one uses the data

It's ok. My area has strong Optimum Wifi coverage so I can just pretend I'm not throttled when it is still in the single digits of data. It just seems much when they are throttling me at 7.7gigs and I see people here with literally 10x that and still under the radar. Not resentful but curious. Does geographic area factor in? Market size? I almost never tether so I'm decently sure VZW does not discriminate too much as to how the data gets used. If you 50gig+ users could help fill in those blanks it would be nice because now I'm curious and confused as to how VZW does this

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!

WOW! Great job NIN and ARMUS! Although I have to say, I am pretty disappointed that there weren't more entries. Oh well, Thank you Matt for the fun contest. I would like to give everyone who competed an opportunity to post their usage, just for the fun of it.

I don't even get half of that on my cable Internet. Though I did get 10 gigs on my phone this month, second time in the past 4 years.

I was very disheartened when folks started flashing big numbers so I quit pushing. I still doubled my average usage and felt that win or lose, I should enter and show my support to screwing vzw. Thanks to Matt for a great contest.
