[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 625234, member: 25095"] I'm a bit more pessimistic, given others have used this tactic in the past. My belief is that it was purely a play to get people signed up initially, knowing that it would produce a captive audience as it's hard to move large amounts of data to another service provider ... and so long as the new costs were competitive, a certain number of users would default to stay or to upgrade to Prime just to avoid moving data. That said, I've just learned that there's a 6 month migration plan, so even if your original unlimited plan expired yesterday, you have 6 months to move your overage data to another service (or to upgrade your plan) before that overage data is deleted. That's above and beyond what's required, so that helps. [/QUOTE]
