iOS6 incorrectly reporting cellular data usage?

Has anyone else noticed a disparity between the cellular data usage reported by iOS 6 and the data usage reported by their cell provider.

According to iOS I've used 89MB down stream so far. Verizon is only showing 50 MB down. I know Verizon takes a bit of time to show up, but the 50 MB was showing after midnight, so I think that the Verizon number has caught up to my actual usage. I ran a few speed tests today on cellular otherwise I was on WiFi all day. A number of threads about data usage inconsistancies have poped up over on Mac Rumors.
