Word is leaking around the web today that the Verizon tiered data plans the company has warned about are about to become reality. These are not confirmed by the company but the information is pretty detailed and paints an ugly future for smartphone and tablet data consumers. The surprising information is that Verizon is apparently charging the same for 3G and 4G with these new plans.

The plans offer a paid tier of data beginning July 7 that is reportedly priced as follows:

2GB:$30

5GB: $50

10GB: $80
