I am kinda disappointed that they are not updating in the order of plan activation. Maybe it's stingy of me to think this way, but some people bought their phones months after me and I still don't have the update. If Verizion is doing the update, then verizion can easily sort their subscription of droid owners by date activated and go that route. I am guessing Karma is going to kick me and I'll be the last to get my update in another week.
And WTF is up with this 200,000 a day? If they only do it at 11:59 or so.. why not do it all day long.. send up to 200,000.. soon as it's done, another 200,000, etc. So what if I get it in the middle of the day.. I thought anyway I have to click to allow for the update to occur anyway.. so if at least the update is downloaded OTA, I can then choose to update it at some point.
2010, and only 200,000 at a time? Wow.. all that money and huge profits they make off the subsidized prices and they can't afford enough servers for file downloads? I mean, its a freaking small file, it's not like those servers are handling 1000's of requests for each user during each update. Makes me fee like some shmuck in a garage has a couple quad-core servers doing all the updates. Verizion can't hire smart enough IT people to figure out how to handle more than 200,000 downloads in a day? Being in the industry and having developed server side software for similar things, I am rather shocked that a company like Verizon can't figure this out. From what I've read, it was the reason for our 2+ months delay.. trying to figure it out. REally? I mean, couldn't they even start with a few thousand a day two months ago.. by now we'd all be updated.
