A tweet by Sascha Segan from PCMag says that Verizon confirmed for him the availability of its LTE plans on a month-to-month basis. The ability to unchain yourself from the yoke of a two-year contract sounds all fine and dandy, moreover it will be on the same terms as the contract customers - $50 for 5GB a month, and $80 for 10GB.
There is one pretty unpleasant catch, though. Those USB dongles Verizon uses to supply the LTE goodness to your device of choice, are ballooning in cost on a month-to-month payment scheme, to the tune of $249.99. Well, if that's what it takes to use Verizon's LTE, and still be able to ditch it if someone comes with a better offer, it might be worth it.
