Starting July 7th, Verizon will move to tiered data plans, and to no one's surprise, the plans are expensive.

DL says the plans will be as follows:

2GB – $30/month
5GB – $50/month
10GB – $80/month

Packages with wireless tethering add 20GB for $20:

4GB – $50/month
7GB – $70/month
12GB – $100/month

Overages of your plan will cost you $10 per each GB over the limit.

In comparison, AT&T's tiered plans cost $15 for 200MB (biggest ripoff in history), $25 for 2GB and $45 for 4GB.
