| Verizon is selling browsing and email for their EVDO offering. They aren't selling a p2p music downloading machine or a VOIP machine, etc. If you don't like that - use another product.

Quickly download complex files and view email attachments with average download speeds of 400-700 kbps capable of reaching up to 2.0Mbps." straight off Verizon's website: »www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobi···view.jsp
I'm not sure of your understanding of "Complex Files" but it sure as hell doesn't equal browsing/email and nothing else.
I think what everyone is frustrated about here Tomkcr is that they sell the product as "Unlimited" and then in the small print disclose it as "well as long as your only browsing or looking at email...." |

I agree - sell it, push it, promote it as it can do everything. 'Unlimited Broadband Access' - only you're limited to do narrowband tasks.
No VoIP
No streaming
No downloading videos/mp3's
I was thinking about purchasing this (or something like it) for my work. However, I need to be able to run X/Motif over VPN for monitoring, and remote desktop.
Just in case anyone thinks that its only Verizon - I checked Cingular's out, and it has a similar EULA. I thought about Sprint (haven't checked its EULA), however store sales reps assure me (yeah right!) that there's no limits, and can be used for VoIP, streaming, etc. |

Maybe you two should read what is this all about. Yeah I hate people like you but that's not the point.
The point is you can sell your product but without false advertising. |

wonder what they mean by games, do they mean you cant download games or do they not want someone to play MMOs over the connection.

Make ISPs Read YOUR Fine Print
Rogers customer creates his own EUA
(This was news posted a while ago, 2005-04-19 11:28:39 to be exact.)
Tired of ISP EULAs that throttle your bandwidth, limit your privacy, and sell your personal information to marketers? One Rogers cable user in our forums has included his own, lawyer approved (so he claims), end-user-agreement on the back of his checks. "By taking this payment" the user's fine-print insists, "Rogers agrees to forfeit the right to cap/throttle my Internet Service." While he'd face a steep uphill battle in court, it's funny all the same.

Did you ever stop to consider the ethical implications of collecting corporate "blood money", because of their (often illegal - as in this particular case of apparent outright false advertising), and attempt to understand the disconnect that you apparently have, with the general populations' problems with this sort of grossly unethical corporate behavior? You're getting rich, by effectively helping corporations to sell out and destroy the rights and liberties of fellow American citizens. Now that's something to take to the bank for sure... 
(Pure capitalism == pure greed, without regard to the side-effects that such a system causes, which lead to an inherently unsustainable future for all of us.)

'Unlimited Broadband Access' This means you can log on any time you want for as long as you want, not Unlimited Bandwidth that is not what it states. And yes it is standard with most all ISP's, read what you are agreeing to and if you don't like it then don't sign up.:D |
