Then Verizon is doing false advertising by saying data as if it's any sort of data and should be saying what types of specific data is acceptable and block those things that use sustained data usage.
When I went into the Verizon store they made no mention of what acceptable data usage could be done. They made it sound as if I could use the data in way I wanted, up to 4GB per month.
As for why I want to do mail on my laptop, sometimes I have school documents I don't want on my phone. As a matter of fact I have completely gotten rid of email on my phone because even though I have manual fetch on and have it specified NOT to automatically get email, every time I reboot my phone or there is a data drop, it checks the email. Frustrating my phone can not behave how I tell it too.
And if doing things like Netflix is sustained data which is bad for their networks, why is it that the advertise watching Netflix on their phones? Why is it I have a Blockbuster bloatware app which is essentially the same thing as Netflix on my phone that can not be uninstalled? Sorry, the mixed messages is very frustrating.
Because Transferring Netflix over the mobile client is MUCH different than transferring over a PC, which netflix assumes has a much better connection. The following is a comparison on an Ipad 3G, not quite the same but pretty close.
How much data does Netflix streaming video use on the iPad 3G? | iPad FAQ
Now compare that to SD and HD viewing on a PC.
Holy cow, Netflix really does use a lot of bandwidth ... - Comcast HSI | DSLReports Forums
Netflix bandwidth - Is 1GB/hr at HD accurate? - Comcast HSI | DSLReports Forums
280mb/hr for Netflix Mobile vs. 850MB/HR for SD or 1885MB/HR for HD with a PC.
Slightly different figures, this all relates back to my original post with line capacity, and constant downloading.
