Verizon Wireless Opens Their Network, Sort Of > Still better

Still better

In my home town, university, and new apartment i get better coverage with tmobile than with att or verizon. Usually verizon gets coverage most places but it doesnt mean they have better coverage in those places than others.

Overpriced in the sense of what your willing to pay? Or overpriced for the most reliable and fastest mobile network speeds available. Maybe you do not understand what it costs to provide services, especially services like mobile access nearly anywhere and everywhere you require. I think 60 or 70 or 80 is a bargain compared to what your option of building your own would be.

You have a choice, use it....or dont. No one if forcing you to buy their service and if you need the convenience and reliability of such a service than paying what its worth is a very good deal.

I am just sick of everyone playing the victim with telco's in highly competitive marketplace (mobile data/wireless). Competition and costs drive the market prices. If they were unreasonable then no one would buy them, since they have one of the largest customer bases I would say pricing is right on point.

Around here, and the places I go over the US, verizon sucks, T-mo and AT&T have always been better. My GF and here whole family has Verizon (here and in Iowa), but once their contract is up they are all switching to either AT&T or T-Mo. I takes 5 minutes just to call my GF because the calls never get through to her, it just rings and goes to VM.

I don't give a damn how good or fast it is. No wireless network is worth $.01/kilobyte or whatever the hell the ridiculous amount is that they charge. There's a difference between paying a premium for a useful service and just plain getting raped for every nickel and dime possible.

Heh... you sure she's not just ignoring you?

haha yea, I've stopped calling her cell, and just call her home. Text messages take 3ish hours to get to her, and she never gets picture messages. This isn't just T-Mo, it's through other providers too.
