So the cheapest plan is 50 dollars a month, and it offers 15 Mbps download speed, and 5 Mbps upload speed. But notice how this plan doesn’t say free wifi, like the other plans do. What does that mean? Does this plan not allow me to use wifi with my laptop or iphone? What exactly is the free wifi they offer with the 25Mbps and 50Mbps plans?

That just means that in certain major cities there may be some public locations where Verizon has WiFi networks available for their customers to use. It doesn’t mean that you can’t use your own wireless router in your house though. It just means, I suppose, that you won’t be given the login credentials to access Verizon hotspots.
Doesn’t sound like much of a loss to me. What are the chances you’re going to be in Verizon hotspots all that often, right?
…how I envy you though for living where ever you live.
