Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess is the greatest thing EVER!

$60 a month for cable modem speeds anywhere there's a Verizon tower.

It's a miracle.

GSM and Roadrunner can DIAF!

I see no indication of a cap in my materials.

I'll try to download nonsense totalling over 5GB and take a screen shot just to see.


GSM? Having the same cell standard as Uganda does not appeal to me. ;)


No GSM provider could provide me with this kinda of intraweb powar!

Hence my abandoning T-Mobile....

Oh, there it is in that link.


I'm not particularly concerned though.

I don't live in an area where there's tons of users of the service so I don't expect Verizon to have to throttle people to maintain overall speed across the network.

If usage exceeds 5 GB per line during any billing period, we reserve the right to reduce throughput speeds of any application that would otherwise exceed such speed to a maximum of approximately 200 Kbps.

Unless network traffic is high why would they bother capping me no matter how much I use?

Besides, I get better coverage with Verizon than with I would with Sprint.

I LOL at your misfortune. I pay $20/month with AT&T and tether my BlackJack like nobody's business. IIRC, my bandwidth usage on the last bill was like 3 GB or something, no caps yet *knock on wood*.

I agree VZW BBA rev A is awesome. I use it all of the time when commuting on the train or traveling on business.

Don't mean to bump and old thread, but it looks like i've been throttled. I'm getting < than 100 kb/sec and I haven't even gone over the 5 gig limit. :|

My love for Verizon is gone. They were a cruel, abusive lover.

Having been capped I plan to soon call whatever number reaches the Verizon skyscraper and raise hell until they cancel without early termination.

Should they fail to comply I will spend $25 for a small claims filing fee and they will spend hundreds responding.

Well, I just hooked my xv6700 up to my laptop(was sharing the xv6700 connection from a desktop via ics). Running a speedtest i'm up to 1.4 mb/sec again. Must have been a temporary throttle. I guess I need to be a little more careful with what I'm downloading.
