Verizon cuts off free data for Chromebook Pixel (LTE) owners one year early

[Guest Justin Herrick]

 

Nothing quite like a broken promise. When the Chromebook Pixel with LTE launched, with a mighty $1450 price tag, buyers were given two years data at 100MB per month with Verizon for free. If more data was needed, the buyer could just buy more. But just one year later, Verizon has pulled the plug on this free data. The only option left is to pay for any and all data used.

 

Verizon is telling owners of the Chromebook Pixel with LTE that the data was free for one year, not two. After some digging around, JR Raphael of Computerworld found that a Google press release that remains posted actually says that the free data is for three years. Not even the expected two! Now both companies are exploring the issue to figure out what went wrong and who is to blame.
