from akamia 2014
.... stopped whining and recognized the cause of increasing prices.
usage increasing at 15% per quarter.
could your national network keep up on a 2010 budget?

that's not the users problem. Carriers are supposed to provide what the customers want.

You can't tell him that. It is not in the best interest of himself nor the people he represents.

if that was really a problem what sense does it make to lock people in on 2 year plans? unless...you continue to make money on these people...a lot of money...

oh wait lock people in for 2 years and then i know what my operating budget will be and can plan for 2 years ahead. your point is invalid.

And they will at a higher price, at what you paid last year the choice is to limit your increasing usage with either caps or overages....now it is a user problem

It's bullshit that Verion thinks that they can just change the game after both parties have agreed.

Just because I can understand WHY it is happening doesn't make me in favor of it, or a fanboi/employee of theirs, I delieberately don't have a VERIZON phone (actually I have one that I never bothered to activate,) as I don't want their services.
I have my old blackberry on a AT&T pay as you go plan BECAUSE I barely see the value at that level and am actually smart enough NOT to waste money on the mobile data trap.

Verizon just earned $7 billion in profit last quarter, on margins better than Apple. 2010 budget? Cost? Are you nuts?

which might mean that VZ service is valued over yet another iProduct?
none of which would stop people from not using VZ service, or suing if that can prove that VZ is making unpermitted changes in contract terms.

Both are loudly claimed here, yet VZ seem to get ever more suckers on the hook and few of these "obvious class actions" ever happen.

Great graph, I can make a sheet of paper say what I want it to also, Your comment is a series of fragments.
1. Whom is whining?
2. what are the apparent causes of the increased prices?
3. How is using the words "national network" relevant at all here?
4. Who is using their 2010 budget in 2014? that CFO needs to be fired!

I know you want to sound smart, in order to do so you need to put forth something called "Effort". Quit wasting our time reading your stupid post.
