after verizon took over my speeds almost doubled up and dn but my phones started dropping calls. decent tradeoff :)

i still dl 20+ gigs per mo, not a peep out of verizon.

sidenote:

travel a bunch and tether to my netbook going dn the interstate for 450+ miles. before the takeover i had evdo all the way. since the change, mostly 1x.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23316178 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:35:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23071871 anon : It is more likely that Verizon Wireless would throttle your connections speeds down to near dial-up if you continually exceed 5GB of data usage per month. Verizon would rather have you dissatisfied than threatening to sue. Even if you wanted to file a lawsuit, you could not file one because you abdicated those rights when you agreed to become part of Verizon Wireless as a direct result of the merger. It's in the contract...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23071871 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:55:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23063095 streakolean : thanks for the reply, yep i'm aware of the "grandfathering" and i have material from alltel stating that my service wouldnt change after the sale. I was just curious if anyone had been billed for the excess in errror and how difficult or easy it was to have corrected. sorry, guess i wasnt too clear about that in my orig post.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23063095 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:15:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23060689 ShellMMG : If you have a current Alltel contract for wireless broadband you will *not* be capped or hit with additional charges for going over 5G. You are grandfathered in. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23060689 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:46:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23050668 streakolean : got a verizon ad in the mail today and among other things it stated the fee per meg over the 5gig cap was reduced from .25 to .05. I'm curious, have any of you that were with alltel no cap and were taken over by verizon exceeded 5 gigs in a month since the take over? if so were you only billed 59. or did they charge you for the excess? i was over the cap in july but verizon was in charge only part of the month. i was over slightly in aug but havent recd that bill yet.

51. per gig over the cap is pretty expensive surfing, it does beat the 256. per gig over that they were charging. i hope my math is accurate.

.05 x 1024 = 51.20 .25 x 1024 = 256.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23050668 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:15:13 EDT
