I have the unlimited 4G, use my phone constantly all day, only connect to wifi if I don't have 4G service, and do everything I want including occasional tethering. I rarely exceed 5GB per month. I could probably go down to a lower plan but it wouldn't save me much money. If people are going over 21GB, they are doing some crazy shit with their phones.
Also worth noting that even with the 21GB cap, I pay $20 per month for 21GB on each of my lines ($40 total) Verizon and AT&T both charge $300 per month for slightly less data than that.

I have unlimited on Verizon and I use at least 30 hours a month of streaming video. I watch/listen to various shows and baseball games everyday at work. Depending on the stream quality it can run at 2Gb per hour. What the fuck good is a smart phone with only 5 gigs of data? If all you use is WiFi then why not just have a flip phone and a tablet and save yourself thousands per year? If it's because a tablet is too big then just buy a used smartphone and take out the sim card.

Streaming video is not considered "crazy shit."

What are you doing with your phone to use so much data?
