Good-bye verizon, hello wolrd

Goodbye Verizon, Hello World Account: 012xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Customer Id Code: 11xxxxxxx Customer since 1995 with 56k dial-up But not much longer. {edited for privacy} The service I am suppose to get: High Speed Internet Enhanced 3.1 to 7 Mbps What I really get: download 1.54mbps upload 0.41mbps Wednesday 21May 2014, 01:07:35 PM Your IP: {edited for privacy} Down 1.80 up 0.56 Reboot the modem.Again. Saturday 24-May 2014, 08:12:26 AM Your IP: {edited for privacy} down 1.80 up .56 just like dial up. brings back fond memories. not. Sunday 25-May 2014, 07:55:15 AM Your IP: {edited for privacy} So I do my daily ”how slow is Verizon today?”. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ Monday 26-May 2014, 07:42:19 AM Your IP: {edited for privacy} up 2.52 down .78 Monday 26-May 2014, 07:35:42 PM Your IP: {edited for privacy} down 2.89 up 0.77 almost like real internet.almost. So I goggle Verizon speed test I choose the “test my internet speed” It goes to “test your lousy internet to our business zoom-zoom fios!!!!!!!” http://www.verizon.com/smallbusiness/internetspeedtest/ Down 1.37 up .71 Now that’s interesting, as the speed is half of speakeasy.net website. So I choose the Verizon speed test on the left. http://www.verizon.com/home/fios-quantum-internet/speedtest.html down 2.90 up 0.71 Now the speed is almost the same as speakeasy.net Must be a mistake. So I run the test on each website several more times. Same results. Is it possible Verizon has deliberately throttled the business site speed by 50% to game the speed??????? Tuesday 27-May 2014, 07:49:56 AM Your IP: {edited for privacy} down 2.89 up .78 Wednesday 28-May 2014, 07:41:56 AM Your IP: {edited for privacy} down 2.89 up .77 Thank god it's Friday 13-Jun 2014, 07:43:39 AM Your IP: {edited for privacy} down 0.77 up 0.75 Speakeasy result 8/7/2014 8:53 AM 2.89 Mbps 0.76 Mbps 98.112.2.172 Los Angeles, CA 08/13/2014 Service has been sporadic or non-existent for the last five days. Again. 8/13/2014 7:59 PM down 2.46 up .76 new ip {edited for privacy} 8/15/2014 1:39 PM down 2.53 up .76 ip {edited for privacy} 8/15/2014 4:52 PM Now slowly connects to internet. Won’t run speed test. Just sits at preparing download test. 08/16/2014 Get email on my smart phone. Yes, my phone. Can’t get emails from the the dsl line, or net access. “Verizon is experiencing a service disruption”. Notice its Verizon, not the customers, who have the disruption. The best part is it tells the customer to go to a web site to check on the outage. The web page I can't access as the dsl signal is down. What does the web page say, you ask??????? “We are having a disruption of service and are trying real hard to get it back up”. Again. I have finally dumped Verizon “enhanced” dsl for charter.net cable internet access. I went from this: down 2.90 up 0.71(sometimes) To this: down 63.54 up 3.31 Sixty-three point fifty-four mbps Charter cable, internet only cable box What a coincidence, now that I have real “enhanced” internet speed, Netflix flys like a rocket. No rebuffering, no “internet service not available”, no waiting for the movie to reload if I fast forward/rewind. And the best part is……. Drum roll, Please rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.(cymbol crash)! Fri, 30 May 2014 01:31:59 an email from Verizon Dear Valued Verizon Customer, We realize you have choices when it comes to choosing your Broadband provider, and would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for being a loyal customer and for choosing Verizon. In order to continue to bring you quality service and product innovation, at times we need to raise our rates. Your monthly rate will increase by $3.00 That was all I needed to switch to Charter. So I’m going from $35 a month for slow and many times nonexistent service, to $40 for service that is 10 to 20 times faster, and doesn’t demand a bribe, err, a voluntary contribution from Netflix not to be throttled. And does anyone really believe Verizon position why net neutrality is bad????? Verizon Says It Wants to Kill Net Neutrality to Help Blind, Deaf and Disabled People http://billmoyers.com/2014/06/13/verizon-says-it-wants-to-kill-net-neutrality-to-help-blind-deaf-and... Verizon lobbyists are canvassing Capitol Hill with a curious new argument against net neutrality — it hurts disabled people. BAWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The sad fact is Verizon, and all of the copper wire providers can't wait to dump you. I also cut the satellite/cable TV plans, as 500 channels and nothing to watch. I live in L.A. and are fortunate to have FREE DIGTAL over the air TV. So I programmed my TV to the 15 stations I only watch, use netflix, or gasp, read a book!!!!!!!!! So, good-bye Verizon. Adious. Zoi geen. Adieu. Annyeonghi kyeseyo. Arrivederci. Auf Wiedersehen. Do svidan’ya.

I know your pain and at least you have the choice to dump Verizon and go somewhere else. I don't have that choice because of where I live Verizon are the only internet providers. I've been having line issues since they moved me over to their "enhanced" service last year. Two months after I was switched my speed began to get throttled down so I called regular support, no help there, then I came here and Executive Appeals took over my case. Man, was that the worst decision ever because they actually made my line worse; constant dropouts began a week after they began working on my line. The original issue was only the throttling, so it went from that to my line being barely usuable but E A refused to fix the problem they caused and stopped talking to me altogther, left me high and dry. Anyway, back I went to regular support and that has turned into a nightmare. No one listens, no cares and now they want to take away the 7.1M that I've had for several years because they think that is causing the dropouts even though I have repeatedly told them that the E A caused the dropout issue and that I never had any major problems with the 7 megs. Sigh, so now on top of still having the throttling issue and dropouts, they want to downgrade my speed. They have had me at 1mbps (as a test) and I still had the dropouts, so I don't understand why they're insisting on lowering my speed permanently when they themselves (MCO) know the lower speed did not stop/correct the dropouts. This has been going on for 10 very long months and I went from having a mostly issue free, good line to an issue filled, bad line...and it continues. This November will be exactly one year since this ordeal began.
Anyway, didn't mean to hijack your post! But I'm glad at least you could leave Verizon and go somewhere better.

Cell service stinks!!!!!!!! Good bye Verizon?

I have been a Verizon customer for several years now and have always been happy with my service. I moved to GA about two years ago and all my
problems started. I never had an issue with dropped calls or losing service but it appears that Verizon has little presence in my area (despite their claims).
My area code is 30028 and when I first moved service was ok. In the last few months I can't even make a call anywhere in my house, on my deck or anywhere in my neighborhood. Texting work fine but I need to make calls. If not I need to dump Verizon.

Hello RandyWatson13s,
Your loyalty is appreciated and we definitely want you to experience great service. Is the issue happening indoors or outdoors? Is it everywhere in 30028 or just your home? Do you also experience difficulties with data? Please share more details so we can better assist.

Good bye Safari, hello Chrome

I just started using Google Chrome browser on my new iPad Air and it blazes compared to Safari. Also the one thing I found terribly frustrating with Safari is the auto page refresh when you switch between tabs or switch between apps -- slow performance on reloading and you can lose any form text you entered previously.
So how about you? What browser do you favour on your iPad?

Idk chrome is really good at loading things fast an nicely but safari has a good interface

Good bye Verizon.

Well Verizon, ever since you took over Altell you have been nickle and diming me to death, changing my plan without my consent, BSing me at your stores and now want to charge me $2.00 to pay my bill??? after 10 yrs with Altell with out a single problem and 2 yrs with you, I have 6 short months left on my contract. I'll be seeing ya later.

Verizon doesn't give a chit about it's customers, just the all mighty dollar. Yeah, the 2.00 is not going to break me, but it's the principal Verizon (I know as a business you are clueless to what principals are). Speaking with a rep over the telephone last night was worthless and frustrating.
I asked a simple question is this fee set to take place yes or no, he stated it was complicated (LMAO) really, coming up with a convincing lie is complicated I guess.
Think about this Verizon, I have 4 telephones on my account, my bill runs 300.00 a month and for this bullchit charge, I will bail in a stone minute. Since Verizon is changing the terms of the contract I wonder how they will hold me to a contract I never agreed to? Class action lawsuit anyone?
Let's see 2.00 in their pocket, or 3600.00 in yearly charges what will they choose.
Believe me Verizon, I will not be taken advantage of, I'm angry and I'm not going to take it.
Contact Verizon and make your feeling known 800-837-4966

After 23 years as a VZW customer, VZW won't offer any incentive if I upgraded and commited to another two years. Time to say good-bye.

When you complete your current contract, Verizon has options on which incentives you would like to take.
You can sign a new 2 yr service contract by purchasing a new phone at a considerable discount(~$400+).
You can also choose to purchase a new smartphone on Edge at full retail cost for which Verizon will give you either a 37.5% or a 62.5% discount(depending on your data allowance) on your monthly line access fee when on the More Everything plan.
If you choose to simply continue using your current phone on the More Everything plan, Verizon ALSO offers the same 37.5%/62.5% discount(depending on your data allowance) on your monthly line access fee.
Of course, as with anything else, there are some which always want more of a discount than what is offered.
Hopefully, after you get used to the rates with your new provider, you won't then want MORE which they likely won't be willing to give you.
Good luck with the new provider.

Good Bye to my Bionic!!!!

I was an owner of a Droid Bionic for 5 months. The Bionic was great for 1 month. Then I had 4G connection errors, battery charging issues,and phone quality issues. Many of my co-workers have verizon phones....and their phones (Droid, Droid X and a Bionic) were significantly faster connecting to the net, would get emails faster, etc.... My camera was terrible. I had enough and went to my verizon store. I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S3. Holy Crap.....my new phone is unbelievable. Super fast, I can get 4G everywhere now, phone quality is great, the camera is about 100X better than my bionic. The Galaxy S3 was $199.99. I got a upgrade discount of $50 and they gave me $52 for my *** Bionic. The only negative....I had to give up my $30 unlimited data package. I am not happy about that....oh, and I had to pay a $30 phone fee. But......I love my new phone.....a highly recommend the Galaxy S3. Good bye Bionic.....you were the worst phone I ever had. You will not be missed.

thats the right way : ) good job

Say good-bye to pirated computer games. Reasons for you to buy generic games!

Found this article!
It is totally true. So many benefits of generic games!!
Please check its source here for more picture reference:
http://happylifegreen.blogspot.tw/2015/01/say-good-bye-to-pirated-computer-games.html
IT IS CHEAPER
One of major reasons for most people installing pirated games is because they want to save money. However, they are wrong! If they play it wisely, purchasing generic games can be much cheaper!
Thanks to this digital era; nowadays you can buy and download almost all games from internet. There are several major gaming platforms. Biggest ones are Steam, Uplay, and Origin.
Steam is the biggest digital platform which houses thousands of games in more than 237 countries and in 21 different languages. Uplay started with Ubisoft games like Assassin’s Creed series and now expands to a much wider range of games. Origin, on the other hand, is (currently) purely for EA games.
You can literally find so many game discounts EVERYDAY on these game platforms. Moreover, every now and then, they have big sales as well. For example, last month Steam had its holiday big sales which had more than 5554 games on sale!
It is common to see many, many 90% off, 75% off, 60% off… You need to be very self-constrained before you put too many games in your Shopping Cart! Haha!
Another good thing is that games in digital format do drop in prices.
In Steam, it is common that after a couple of months of its launch, a game will start to have discount, and then it will drop in prices. For example, when Thief was first launched in 2014, the price was US$59.99. But if you check it on Steam, its price now already dropped to US$29.99.
If you go to a retail shop and want to buy a box version of this game, the price will probably still be close to US$59.99.
On the other hand, if you buy pirated games. It could cost more.
Pirated games usually charges by number of DVDs, and one DVD costs around US$3.
Because of nice visual graphic, it is common to see games exceed 15GB—which will requires roughly 3 DVDs or more. One DVD cost $3; in another word, you need to pay $9 for one game.
Some games, for example, The Evil Within, requires more than 38.6GB of disk space. It will need, I’m not sure, maybe more than 8 DVDs? Which means US$24??
What I usually do is to add games in Wish List. When the game is on sales, Steam will send me email, and I will be able to track if I am satisfied with the discount percentage or not. Easy!
IT IS SAFE WITH NO VIRUS
This is easy. No one will argue that almost all, if not all, pirated games (or software) have malware hidden inside! There is no free meal. If you want to save money, you need to trade in something else.
I am not sure how those virus will do to me, but I don’t want it secretly downloading some funny stuff from internet, and definitely I don’t want my credit card or other personal info be stolen!
YOU CAN CLOUD-SYNC GAME PROGRESS
Many games support cloud sync, meaning that you can go to any computer and start a game from where it left.
It is quite convenient. I have two laptops for home and office. When I go to a business trip, I can still continue my games from my work laptop.
In Steam, if you see a small cloud icon in front of games, it mean that the game supports cloud sync. The function works quite well!
ENJOY TEAM WORK AND DLC
If you play pirated Battlefield 4 or Titanfall (and many others), say good-bye to team mode~
Quite a number of games—especially EA games— require you to connect to game server via internet in order to play in multiplayer mode.
If you want to play with friends or want to challenge other games, buy generic games!
Many games have DLC packs which allow you to equip with different weapons, outfit, or special items. Sometime, pre-purchased games give you these for free.
Well, no such benefits in pirated versions.
EASY INSTALL AND UPDATE
How to install a game? You just need to click a “DOWNLOAD” button and then worry free. After installed, the game will update automatically; so you will always have the latest version of the game.
HAVE A SENSE OF FULFILLMENT
Currently I have more than 140 games in Steam and many others in Uplay and Origin. I have quite a sense of fulfillment to see all those game icons in one place.
GAMES WILL NEVER LOST
Years ago when there is no those digital platforms, you need to keep your game DVDs (or VCDs) well. Once lost, then bye-bye to the game. The same applies to pirated games that cannot comply with game platform.
If you own generic games, you will never lose them! You can change as many computers as you like; you can un-install games; you can buy-it-and-forget-it; you can keep games for generation for your grand-children. Those games will always be there waiting for you.
Once you want to put your hands on the games again, you just need to click “DOWNLOAD” button, and the game will alive once again!

So long, and thanks for contributing, in your way.

Is the Creative zen micro a good bye or a bad

I heard alot of horror stories about creative zen micros freezing and the headphone jacks are not working so I want ask your opinion is the creative zen micro a good bye or a cheap urelieable mp3 player. I love the design and the colors and the extra features but is the player relieable or nice to look at but really senseti've. If buying the creative zen is going to be this big investment then maybe i should get an ipod its just the ipod seems so less in comparison.Please reply so that i might have a greater understanding on what to buy.

I agree with Kerndrone. People come here mostly to look for solutions to their problems. This constitutes a lot to the negati've talk. Also,how many would purposely come into a forum just to praise a player?
ipods aren't great either. I feel that they are just an overpriced piece of gadget with very few features - whatever the zen has, the ipods doesn't (i.e. FM radio/recorder,voice recorder, simple organiser) .On the other hand, whatever the ipod has, the zen also has (with the exception of games, which i think is dumb. An audio player, as its name suggests, it for the purpose of AUDIO, some SIMPLE games? it's so dumb, i'll rather play my mobile phone's, which has color, and nicer to view.)
Further, the Zen comes with much more accessories than the ipods - velvet pouch, craddle + stand + belt clip + charger + USB cable + earphones. ipods don't come with chargers, i think. The charger is pretty expensi've S$69, and the earphones cost S$49 if bought separately.

Good Bye Version 1.0.3 build 16 -- How do I uninstall everything and go back to previous version?

Good Bye Version 1.0.3 build 16 -- How do I uninstall everything and go back to the previous version?
Okay, I found the prior version of DesktopManager for Mac in one of my old backups from March of this year. The new 1.0.3 dmg has an uninstaller next to the installer. I am going to remove 1.0.3. from all of my computers, and install the prior version, and set the preferences for do NOT (NEVER!!!) upgrade / update!

So -- did it work? I've heard people have gone back to the previous version and mysteriously, the syncing problems followed along, even though they weren't there before v. 1.0.3.
BTW, where do you find the uninstall piece on the application? I looked for it once and didn't find it where I thought it would be.

Good Bye Safari ;(

I've come to say good bye.
I'm like Safari for so many reason. It looks great, the bookmarks are easy to use and well organise, the google search window, etc, etc
However.....
I can no longer live with the unreliable way it deals with Flash. Almost all pages use flash now and it crash's all the time in Safari. Every time it does the whole app freezes for 10 seconds, I can't change tabs or windows.
I'm afraid I'm now using Google Chrome. Flash crashes less often, and when it does it only freezes the window that's affected letting me continue in other tabs/windows.
I hope I can return soon, just waiting for you to fix these problems.

If it crashes with Flash, fix the problem, especially since it also crashes Chrome. There are many postings with solutions. Safari hasn't crashed for over two years, the entire time I was beta-testing Snow Leopard, and I routinely view Flash videos w/o issues. However, your choice, since it's your computer.

I shall see on how the results varies in various tests but it'll only happen in Dec... as the mobos here are Expensive !!!

Good bye and good riddance Verizon

Dear Verizon Wireless,
I have been having a MAJOR issue with your billing dept. No one seems to be able to help me. I have had at least 6 contacts with them and each time, I have been given a different answer, and quite frankly, I am fed up.
On March 30th I paid my Verizon bill online through my bank. The bill was $131.50, but unfortunately, I hit an extra 1 and mistakenly paid $1,131.50. I caught this mistake the next day, when I saw it pending. I immediately called Verizon, apologized, and told them what I had done. I was told it would take approx 24 hours and they would deposit the money back into my checking acct, and the rep even took my routing and acct. number.. I realize this was my mistake, and apologized profusely to each and every person I spoke with. I cannot believe that this is the first time a customer has made this mistake however.
After 2 days went by, I called again, and was told, 48-72 hours. After that went by, I called and was told 5-7 days. After the eighth day, I called again. I was told that Verizon would have to review it, and if it was approved, I would be sent a check after 2 billing cycles. By this time, I was frustrated, and I said, "This is ********". I regret saying that, because I was immediately disconnected. The next day, after I had calmed down, I called back and was told it was denied.
I made 2 more calls, the first of which, I was told they would resubmit it for another review. Yesterday, I called and was told that the money had indeed been deposited back into my acct. but now, my bill was in danger of being late, so I would need to pay it immediately. No problem, I paid it right then over the phone. Today, I have checked my acct. and there is no deposit from Verizon, however the money for the bill, (that I do not owe because I have a huge credit due to the extra $1000 you have) is pending to be paid.
Now, you tell me, what am I to make of this? I have been a long time customer with Verizon. It is the only service I have ever used, since cellphones first became a staple. It is becoming apparent that Verizon does not care about helping me solve this problem, and is only concerned with shuffling me around from rep to rep, instead of giving me a straight answer.
I realize that Verizon holds all the power and cards, but the one thing I can do, and which I WILL do, is to switch to AT+T when my credit is used up. And, I will contact PUCO, and the FTC about the fraud that was perpetrated against me, regarding the extra payment the rep told me I needed to make. I am furious about this, and will tell everyone who will listen about how Verizon treats their customers. The extra $1000, and the $131.50 that your rep scammed out of me yesterday is THE LAST MONEY you will ever get from me, any member of my family, and anyone I can convince through social media and word of mouth to drop your service.
This has been a sorry state of affairs. And I repeat... This is ********.

Wow....I sympathize with you. If I paid $1000 extra one month there would be a bunch of other bills left unpaid and slim pickings in the pantry! Did you ask if your bank could reverse the payment? Depending on when this happened, it may be too late to do it that way, but it's worth a try. Aside from that, there is no way I would wait for the credit to be used up, I would become the most annoying customer on the planet until I had a check in my hand.
This isn't fraud, but Verizon is holding funds for services not yet rendered. Regardless of the reason for the mistake (because we all make mistakes), you alerted Verizon and they haven't acted to correct it. The fact that you did have to pay this month's bill suggests a refund may be forthcoming, since it seems that balance is being held for some reason and not being applied to the bill. I hope you are successful in getting your money refunded! Although you will eventually get it back by not having a Verizon bill for a while, a refund would probably go a long way in repairing your opinion of Verizon. ☺

Good bye Dail-up! HELLO HIGH SPEED, but...

Okay, just ordered the at&t/yahoo! dls pro pakage; only problem is I'm clueless on how to connect two computers...
A pc in one room and my Mac in another... the package includes a wireless gateway, and I'm not sure what other equipment or devices I need or how to get the connection/signal to the Mac. i.e. What's compatible? Not interested in sharing files or printers... only the connection.
Naturally the best and cheapest would be nice, but at this point all the info has been bewildering. Is it complicated to self install, because that's what I signed up for?
thanks for any help!

It appears the airport extreme is the only way to go, but is it just me or does the first and second sentence contradict itself? How can I install the card unless there's an airport card slot?
Also. according to the next requirement - does that mean I need the airport extreme base station as well? I think the wireless gateway should work ( enables any computer with an 802.11g or 802.11b wireless adapter to access ) but just trying to be sure.
System Requirements:
• The AirPort Extreme Card can be installed only in computers that are AirPort Extreme ready. AirPort Extreme Cards cannot be used in AirPort-ready computers with an AirPort Card slot.
• Requires Mac OS X 10.2.7 or later and AirPort Admin Utility software version 3.1.1 or later to administer an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
• Wireless printing over USB requires Mac OS X v10.2.7 or later.
This AirPort Extreme Card is not compatible with Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad computers introduced in October 2005. To add an AirPort Extreme card to one of these systems, please contact an Apple Retail Store or other Authorized Apple Service Provider.
The scary thing is I'm gonna do a self-install.

Good-bye verizon, hello wolrd
