Tomorrow Officially Brings An End To True Unlimited Data For Verizon Customers

My guess is that there are so few of us that bad pr and attention from fcc isn't worth the hassle.

Well, now I suppose we sit and wait to see if VZW ends unlimited plans period (for those of us on month-to-month). If they backed off because of the FCC (presumably), then this is the first REAL and official indication we've had that VZW is ready to take action against unlimited users (normally I'd say abusers, but the limits quoted can't be considered abuse at this point).

That would a huge pr hit, they promised long and loud that they wouldn't cancel us. After this fiasco we are safe for some time.

That's always been my contention, but this issue is the first time they've actually had action teed-up as opposed to unsubstantiated speculation.

I don't complain and I don't villify VZW...but if I pay full retail for a phone only to have them cancel me months later with little to no warning you can bet I will be "voicing" my displeasure.

Home speed. Never was this bad.

My home speeds.

Usually I average 8-10mbps down at home, (sometimes less sometimes more) so I'm content with this, even though it "should" be at least double.

Can you try a server that's closer to you?

That is the closest one.

 

[xeene]

Try different sever either way, some might provide faster speed then others.

This is canton Ohio.

Wonder if Verizon rolled out xlte in Ohio...

 

[Mustang02]

It did. I have it at work but the towers near home aren't aws

 

[Mustang02]

Fun day for xlte......not. The network keeps getting slower and slower in Cleveland.
