If I am paying for unlimited, than why I am only given 22GB per device?

Am I being throttled after 22GB?

I also work in a factory in Winchester va. And from the hours of 11 to 6 my data is pretty much unusable. I had the 22 gig tier and still was throttled at them times. Even though I've only used 10 gigs so I dropped down a tier cause why should I pay an extra 120 dollars a year when they're still going to throttle me

NYC/NJ area here and both of my cellphones run at okay speed when in the most expensive Verizon plan, as soon you dropped their most expensive plan the data speed is unusable and even slower that Sprint. I switched from Sprint after 16yrs thinking that Verizon was actually better but Verizon just throttle your data to unusable speed. I have no choice but to pay for Verizon most expensive data plan or else I can't use my cellphone the same way I did on the Sprint Network. I just learned on this scam and sure will change provider after my contract is up on my family plan. Just sad!
