On Wednesday, Verizon announced that the cellular carrier would begin slashing the monthly costs of a myriad of their data plans by $10 per month. This means customers can either pay less for what they already have, or upgrade to bigger data plans for what they were already paying.
Re/code has the scoop on what the new pricing for the data plans will be:

In case the image didn't load for you, here are the changes that Verizon is making:
- The 1GB plan has dropped from $40 to $30 per month
- The 2GB plan has dropped from $50 to $40 per month
- The 3GB plan has dropped from $60 to $50 per month
- The 4GB plan has dropped from $70 to $60 per month
- The 6GB plan has dropped from $80 to $70 per month
- The 8GB plan has dropped from $90 to $85 per month
- The 20GB plan has dropped from $150 to $140 per month
We're not sure what makes the 8GB plan so special, but for whatever reason, Verizon has only slashed $5 off of that data plan while keeping a consistent $10 price cut on all of the rest of the mentioned plans. Notably, the 500MB, 10GB, 12GB, 14GB, and 16GB plans all remain at their usual prices.
These price cuts are necessary for Verizon in terms of compeition considering that the carrier's competitors are also taking their prices down a notch.
