Verizon starts to crack down users who illegally tethering on their network

Today some people have been reporting that they’re seeing a Verizon warning page instead of their favorite website with a number to call if they would like to upgrade their plan.  

Carriers have always taken their data network very seriously and we’ve already seen similar cases like AT&T coming down hard on illegal tethering by sending out text messages to those they suspect of using an unauthorized devices on their network. Still unknown is how these carriers are determining if a user is say, just watching a lot of YouTube videos on their handsets or actually using a tethered device.

Anyone who got this message, please let us know about it.

Verizon doesn't even want to start something like that.   They had that feature with their Blackberry when I got my first smartphone and it was great. Now with Verizons limited 3G or 4G, lucky I get 1G and stay connected they better start looking out for their customers. I for one will drop Verizon quicker than a hot potato. I very upset with their service. If I knew that i could root my phone without screwing it up, I'd even do that, too. Just to do this  to Verizon.
