Just to warn others, as this happened to me. My service is being terminated on Aug 30th, because I didn't read the fine print. You are not allowed to Download, upload, stream video nothing except check email and to browse the web I didn't read the terms so they are terminating me on the 30th without warning just a letter in the mail stating this and called and they said there is nothing that can be done you violated the terms of agreement.

So just wanted to let some know that maybe did not read the terms either took them almost 7 months to terminate me have not used the service any different in those 7 months I use video cam with my daughter and stuff that is all a big no no. Well good luck to all lol guess I will just start using the T/S Internets.

 

We have discussed this before under a thread about using sling media over Verizon.

I look at ballgames every once in awhile, but your mistake was the video cam I think.

 

BTW) Unlike their motto .. it seems that Verizon did "stop working for you" :P

 

you mean to tell me thats all you can do with verizon card? thats bs... Cant download at all? what about play games? Upload photos....

 

The biggie is streaming video. I download files all the time and have been a customer for 2 years now. Actaully I have used SlingVideo but I stopped after a different poster advised me of the evil of my ways.

 

EXCUSE ME???? are you kidding....this is nuts! How did verizon know what you were downloading? What gives them the right to check on you? This is total BS! They must be violating some privacy laws by seeing what you download????

The day my ISP ever takes a look at what ive been doing online is the last day they will ever be in business!

Big brother censorship at its best :x

 

I think you would be surprised what your ISP is doing with your account.

I also wonder how many people have read and understand their service agreement.

A little paranoid are we?

It's all about Bandwidth usage. You area allowed a certain amount and when you keep exceeding it they get mad.
As far as Verizon or your ISP knowing what you are doing.... trust me, THEY KNOW EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE.

Also just so you know....everytime you delete something or empty you Recycle Bin... that info is still on your PC. So when the FBI comes in and takes your computer they can still go into DOS and find everything you have done since your last formatting.

 

So, what's the best wireless solution on the road. I travel with my laptop, but have NO service. What should i do??

 

Big Bird I've been using Verizon's service for over 3 years now. On my 3rd laptop and 4th office device. Of course this isn't a high speed connect device. With nary a hitch other than the occasional "no service' area. Those have been few and far between. The far reaches of WY and some hollows and timber in the midwest.
It allows me to download, upload, surf, ignore, delete, chat, IM and generally waste as much time as any DSL, cable or WiFi system going.
Granted I rarely use it during peak hours. Occasionally a quick 5 minute check on email. Normally with the free after 9pm and weekend minutes Verizon's system works unhindered without a problem.
Every question I've had has been answered by a rep quickly and comprehensively. Good stuff as I see it.
No sir I'm no rep, just a contented customer.
