| Ridiculous I feel sorry for those customers who live in Rural areas that can ONLY be served by Verizon. Will they just be SOL & Stuck with access to the internet?
What if there is no other provider for the consumer to be shifted over to?
This honestly is ridiculous. The corporate overlords of greed-ridden Verizon(or any other business for that matter, but honestly, this is just complete and utter disregard for others) are disappointed because rural regions bring in profit, just not "enough" to satisfy their needs. What about the consumers needs? It's getting ridiculous, they're abandoning rural service although HSI is still not available over the entire footprint of the USA. I know it's a lot of work, but they need to get ahead (geographically) before they fall back and start dropping their loyal customers.
Sorry, Verizon, this is just uncalled for.. Maybe it will benefit you in the long run, but not us. | |
| *sigh* That would be me. Sprint is a joke, and AT&T is worse. The true irony is I'm only 3 miles from I-94 through lower Michigan. I was an Alltel customer who was Borgified into VZW last month.
Just a couple of points: I've lived with a cap (Wildblue) and never, EVER want to do that again. Monitoring FAP is a full-time job, and I was throttled rather than overcharged for exceeding the 70% usage limit on the cap. I'll never see copper let alone FIOS, but I understood the limitations when we moved to the area. Technology has finally reached us and I'm content with the 2-3MB down, but I live in dread of losing my grandfathered unlimited broadband account.
C'mon, Verizon, I'm a paying customer. I'd rather pay $60 a month to VZW rather than $0 for no internet at all, which is what I'll do rather than return to Wildblue. I don't live on Mars but it took LOTS of coffee shop wifi research to find internet access! How many other rural citizens don't know they can get broadband like wireless because there's been virtually no local advertising? I'm interested. I've been a good customer. I'd like to remain a good customer, but that 5G cap is a deal-breaker. | |

1 edit | said by ShellMMG:*sigh* That would be me. Me too. And as I've mentioned before, it's not like it would be hard for VZ to do. Our neighborhood is served by a modern, DSL-capable remote terminal. A high-capacity inter-town VZ fiber connection runs right in front of my driveway; heck along the lot across the street runs a transoceanic fiber line, along a railraod ROW. None of it does any good to the residents here, just because VZ couldn't be bothered to spend a couple of hundred bucks a line on some DSL line cards.
We know it would be profitable; in neighborhoods a short distance away in Qwest territory, they have DSL. So does the typical Frontier neighborhood.
I welcome Frontier; they can't treat us any worse than Verzon treats us. | |
