Good Job Verizon Way to Get Greedy

so i hadnt noticed until today that they got rid of the unlimited data.... way to sell out like at&t verizon i just upgraded in feb but as soon as my next upgrade comes we will be taking our 6 lines to sprint a less greedy carrier with better customer service enjoy being the 2nd or 3rd largest carrier verizon... remember when at&t was #1 **bleep**ty decisions like that are why they aren't anymore

Incorrect. Sprint has not confirmed that they will be getting rid of unlimited data. Sprint has assured customers that they will retain their unlimited data for the foreseeable future.

In fact, Sprint has been shuffling and axing a lot of their customer incentive programs, such as the Premier program, early upgrade program, unlimited hotspot data and others to ensure customers will be able to keep their handset unlimited data plans even if they have to pay for the tethering beyond a certain monthly GB limit. 
Until Sprint officially axes their unlimited data plan, everything is speculation.
If AT&T and Verizon were smart, they would've went the route T-Mobile went. Instead, they're greedy. Not only are they forcing tiered data limits that are realistic as more applications and devices use more data but they both have the ability to slow a users speed after they reach a certain threshold and they chose not to do so. Verizon recently has said they will begin to throttle their "unlimited" data customers who are on the 3G EVDO network.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/16/as-of-yesterday-verizon-started-throttling-its-top-5-data-hogs-doesnt-affect-4g-lte-or-tiered-data-customers/
It remains to be seen if the throttling will occur only to customers who are tethering their device or customers who are using data entirely from the handset. In either case, unlimited truly isn't unlimited and if Verizon had the capabilities to "throttle" data, they should have taken that approach before enforcing tiered data. At the end of the day, it all amounts to being greedy. Verizon's LTE network hasn't had the adoption rate they desired and thus they want to force customers into choosing LTE, which the throttling does not apply but tired data does, which ultimately means customers will use more data and be forced into higher tiers or pay overages. It's a cat and mouse game, which the typical customer may not realize until it begins to hit them in the wallet.
We understand Verizon is a business and their main objective is to make money but there is something to be said about a company that in the midst of a recession, side with the consumer (throttling vs. tiers), as it builds a relationship with the customer that when things begin to turn around the customer will be more tolerable of rate increases. 
How can someone recommend Verizon based on price when one day a customer could sign up for a $29.99 unlimited data plan and the next day that option is no longer available and for $29.99 you get 2GB of data. 
I don't tether my device at all and 10 days into my billing cycle i'm at 1.109GB according to the meter on my Bionic and that's despite the fact I use WiFi whenever possible. I would think i'm a light data user compared to others. To think 2GB will suffice in the days of streaming EVERYTHING is ludicrous. $50 for 5GB of data is price gouging. Is it fair for your parents or grandparents who may use 500MB of data per month to pay $30? There has to be a better way of handling data while reining in those who abuse the network. Those that abuse the network account for a tiny percentage but as the old adage goes, "the good must suffer with the bad".
I love how people who can't even use correct Englsh think they know how to manage one of the largest corporations in the US.

  • Good Job Verizon Wireless on black screen

    Received my third certified phone on Saturday as promised by the support folks. The screen actually works outside and everywhere else. I was very upset with the fact that I was receiving defective phones however the support team kept sending them until I was satisfied. Been with Verizon and I have purchased over 100 high end phones for my company and this one was for my personnel use. It was good to see an individual receive the same type of support as the larger companies (my company included). I hope the support team members that have helped me over the last couple of weeks see this.
    Thanks again
    Don Wilson

    I will be happy to inform our support team of your satisfaction with the certified replacement device. Verizon Wireless strives to provide the best service in the industry. We are truly interested in all comments from our customers and we greatly appreciate the valuable time you have taken to leave the comments you left.

  • Is there any way to get the latest equipment? ( The Verizon anti-loyalty program.)

    My DVR is the old 80GB model. The new 500GB model has been available to "new" customers for some time now. Current customers can only get on a "someday" waiting list. Full story below. Incidentally, this is the worst treatment I get from any service I pay for from any vendor. If I could get fiber from anyone else, I'd dump Verizon.
    I am extremely unhappy with my FIOS service and the general treatment I have received in the last month. I have been a loyal customer of Verizon FIOS for a long time, years, I was an early adopter. I called in December (my contract was up again) and in order to renew I asked for an equipment upgrade (my DVR is too small). I was promised an upgrade and renewed my contract. I was sent to different boxes containing the same equipment I already have (which I returned). After many hours online and on the phone sorting this out of 2 weekends we finally sorted out the problem. The requested DVR model I was promised and have asked for since early December is only being given to NEW customers. As a loyal customer who has given Verizon thousands of dollars, I am punished by being denied access to modern equipment. I was told as a current customer I could sign up on a waiting list and someday the equipment will be offered to older customers (I can only assume after every new customer in the world signs up). I was alternately told by a customer service rep that the only way to get what I asked for is to rip out all my current equipment, send it in, make and wait for new installation appointments, and become a new customer. THIS IS UTTERLY REPUGNANT. I have been with Verizon for years.  I believe I am not less important that anyone off the street that wants to sign up. Is Verizon willing to do anything at all about this? Is this my reward for years of paying Verizon, to be treated like a second class customer and offered untenable options??? I feel after all my loyalty and lots and lots of cash over the years I deserve the same thing as any other customer.

    not sure I understand. You're spending your own money to buy a Tivo to use a service Verizon provides? Like instead of expecting them to keep your equipment up to date? (or at least allow you options equal to all other Verizon customers)
    I have one TiVO HD now, and adding another would be great. Have you ever used a TiVO guide and actually got what you wanted to record? I pay TiVO $9.99 a month because my commitment is up, and Verizon $3.99 a month and get everything but Widgets I don't want. VOD they charge to much for, Remote DVR programming that only works when you don't need it. I have a 1TB internal drive I installed. Get my point?
    Under $15 a month and does everything I want. I thought I missed the VOD untill I got it back for 2 months and decided I didn't need it. Multi Room, don't need it. Tried it once and canceled it. The only reason I have MRDVR now was to get the discounted HD boxes which they do now anyway. Shame they started that a month after I picked up the VZ DVR.
    I did sugest that Verizon partner with TiVO and cut their development cost, and that was given a not likely response. Yea if Verizon offered a TiVO with the guide TiVO provides, TiVO VOD options, Verizon VOD options, Verizon Widgets, I would give Verizon $20 a month no problem.
    I had a Verizon 6216 DVR for 4 years, a TiVO still for over a year, and now a 7216 for about 2 months. I like TiVO. Sorry Verizon.

    I like Fios way more than Cablevision and Comcast myself.  There is a huge difference in the TV picture quality, the Internet speed is a lot quicker, the phone service is better with clearer sound quality, and you just get a lot more for your money overall with Verizon.  I think Verizon also offers a much more pleasing and user friendly IMG with more information and it offers a lot more channels which would otherwise cost you a lot more money with the cable.  Plus, you can renew your contract every 2 years to keep your monthly bill down and get rewarded with discounts and a rewards card that you can spend on anything you want.   Unless I move to an area where Verizon Fios is not available, nobody can convince me to switch over to Comcast. 
    I also must say that Verizon did very well during the recent hurricane which caused widespread power outages in my area.  My Fios came right back on when I got my power back.  Other people I spoke to weren't so lucky with their cable after getting their power back.  And even though this has nothing to do with Fios, my Verizon Wireless cell phone continued to work very well during the outage.  Other people I spoke to who have T-Mobile or AT&T weren't so fortunate with that.
    So welcome and enjoy your Fios!

  • I need to find a way to get past FaceTime activation. i keeps telling me to wait but nothing happens any suggestions?

    OK, what you have is an iMac G4 17-inch USB2.0. Good work.
    Unfortunately, that model is among the hardest to service at home. Getting one apart is a job of modest difficulty; reassembling it so the heat dissipation system works properly is more difficult. Many have succumbed to heat-related failures following improper reasesembly.
    Did you try my suggestion of booting the computer while depressing the mouse button?
    When you start the computer can you hear a short sound from the optical drive?
    If you put a light fingernail pressure between the tray and the computer case, does anything move?
    If you need it serviced professionally, unfortunately Apple considers that model obsolete and will not work on them. You'd need to find an independent repair shop that really knows G4 iMacs.

  • Any way to get Network Extender support without a phone?

    I am trying to get a Network Extender working. It has been added to my account, I have forwarded the appropriate ports on my router for it to work. I see some of the packets sent out by the extender aren't being answered on the remote side.
    I have no way of calling Verizon while I'm at home. I don't have a landline, and my Verizon phone drops calls. Is there a way to contact support some other way to get my Network Extender working?

    mzr23,
    Good afternoon! I'm sorry to hear the Extender is causing some trouble. I am happy to help, and since this is account specific it is best to send me a direct message for more assistance. You can also use our 'Contact Us' link at the top of the page for options to e-mail and chat with us.

  • Is this a more financial-able way to get the iPhone?

    I have a terrible env touch and I'm not due for an upgrade until the end of november 2011. I realize that if I want the iPhone now, I'd have to buy it at the retail price for $650. However, I know that I can cancel my line and then open a new line for $10 and they'll give me the iPhone for $200, right?
    I think the verizon helper my dad was talking to told him that to cancel my current line, it'd be a $125 cancellation fee ... but I was reading on the internet that it's $175? Can someone clarify which one it is? I know for a smartphone it's $350 but obviously the env touch isn't a smartphone.
    So i'm figuring, $125 cancellation fee, $10 for a new line, $214 (tax) for the iphone will all add up to $349... this is surely a better way to go than to pay $700 for the iPhone -- then again this plan seems too good to be true, can anyone elaborate?

    i tend to believ the 60 day rule and think that you got lucky with a rep that didn't know what he or she was doing. the reason i think this is because i COULD SWEAR that last night 2-3 people posted that they did this as well. now those posts are gone? and the ones pointing to the 60 day rule are here. just my theory. there are also other threads on this topic and they all seemed to state that there is a 60 period that, if you try to open a new account, verizon just reinstates the old contract.

  • I need the duplicate copy of my apple product but the store is under renovation. Is there any possible ways to get a duplicate copy of my apple product?

    I want a duplicate copy of my macbook pro as i have to show it to the service center to get my repair done within the warranty period. But the store from where i purchased my laptop is closed as it is under renovation. What do i do to get a duplicate copy of my product purchase bill. Please advise

    Since you are a year away from being eligible to get a discounted phone on your current Verizon contract, your most cost effective solution is to buy or borrow a used (Verizon) phone from a friend, swappa, ebay or other source.  Use that until your contract is up and then decide if you are going to stay with Verizon or move to someone else.
    Changing providers now will result in $200+ in early termination fees, plus the cost of a new phone for your new provider.
    What you need is not necessarily a way to get the early upgrade discount, but a working phone for your current account - look to friends, swappa, ebay, and other sources to get a good, used, working phone to finish out your contract.

  • Best way to get 3/4 inch tape material into FCP?

    I have several 3/4 inch tapes I would like to edit on my FCP system.
    I can only Capture through firewire.
    Is it better to transfer the 3/4 material to DVD or create QT files?
    (I can create the QT files on an Avid Adrenaline)
    I need to keep the material at the best quality.
    Thanks.

    OK, I'm back now. Let's get to the first part of your question... and some tips.
    To start with let me clear up some semantic errors that I may have inadvertently created. When I say "up-rez" I'm not talking about it the way you would use the term in print production and Photoshop. I was using the term "up-rez" as a more generic term meaning a general improvement in picture quality and upgrade of color space.
    Now, to the improvement I have seen by taking my DV source material into a sequence using PhotoJPEG 75% or DVCPRO50 codecs with a 4:2:2 color space.
    First, as a baseline, to all of my DV clips in the timeline I add the "4:1:1 Color Smoothing" filter as the first in line, and the final filter is always "Broadcast Safe" set to the lowest preset of "100" or "Extremely Conservative." If I use any color correction filter I always use it after the color smoothing and before "Broadcast Safe." Unless it works better using a different order, but this is where I start. However "Color Smoothing" is almost always the first filter.
    It is the "Color Smoothing" filter that provides the extra chroma data that is used by the 4:2:2 codec to "improve" the color after rendering. Now understand, this is an interpolation process. The computer is guessing at what the extra color data should be. But in most cases where my goal is to provide "pleasing color" the computer usually makes some pretty good guesses.
    Especially if you use color correction to remove any exising color casts from the clips in question. If you have a definite color cast in your original clip, you may find it necessary to color correct that cast out, then add the Color Smoothing, and then do your "primary" or "balancing" color correction by adding that filter a second time in the list to get things to look right. Confused yet? Don't be - if you have a good calibrated video monitor, then you can really trust your eyes a lot more than you might think. The point is, if you present the "Color Smoothing" filter with reasonably good color when it looks at the DV clip, then it will do a good job of "enhancing" your color after you render with a 4:2:2 codec.
    Oh yeah, make sure your rendering quality level in the "Video Processing" tab of the sequence "Settings" is set to the best you have. FCP 4.5 and FCP 5.x differ slightly in how they word this setting, but the intent is the same.
    So that's how I "improve" the color of a DV clip by taking it into a sequence with a 4:2:2 color space. I hope I explained it clearly enough.
    BTW - Nattress suggests using PhotoJPEG 75% over DVCPRO50 for content that comes from an analog capture. He says that an unintended but positive consequence of the "lossy" compression in the PhotoJPEG codec is to remove some of the latent analog noise from the video during final rendering and encoding. I had my doubts about this at first since the specs would suggest that DVCPRO50 is the best way to go. But after trying it out I must say that Graeme is dead-on with this. A lot of the minor video noise in the luminence and chroma that comes in with the analog video is removed pretty cleanly when you look at your final rendered digital video. So once again we learn that Graeme Nattress is "The Man."
    The truly scary thing is that among his peers in the community of this forum, Nattress is only one of several similar intellects. This forum is a gold mine for all of us FCP users. Nattress, Shane, Sheffield, and all the rest who I am probably making mad because I forgot to mention them -- wow! We couldn't afford to take classes from all these guys, and here they give it all for free. I hope everyone appreciates the value of the resource we have in this forum. I certainly do. Belated and future thanks to all you gurus out there.
    Anyway, back to your analog capture issues. Here's some tips from my own experience. When doing my initial capture from analog via the A-to-D converter...
    1) I always find I need to boost the saturation levels a bit. Use a vectorscope to keep track of this, but my analog source material always seems to come in 20 to 25% light in the chroma value. Boosting the saturation setting a little bit in the convertor fixes this.
    2) I know I'll get some arguments about this one. In my ADVC-300 I have a "Sharpening" setting, with "0" being no enhancement, "-100" being totally blurred, and "+100" being totally sharpened. I find that adding a significant amount of "sharpening" to my capture settings really improves the quality of the analog input without leaving a lot of visible and unpleasant artifacts in the picture. So I always add between +15 and +35 of sharpening. Usually +25 works best so that's where I start.
    Now, understand that I find this completely counter-intuitive after my years of experience with digital image editors and scanning software like "Photoshop" and "Scantastic," and the generally complete uselessness of the vanilla "sharpen" tools for sophisticated image enhancement. But for some reason, with these tools in this environment, "sharpening" works wonders.
    The way it looks to me when I compare the "before" and "after" by switching the inputs on my video monitor is that the "after" picture looks like someone properly backlit the scene. The entire effect is to give that look of 3D depth to the picture that still photographers call "snap," and that I was taught to try to achieve by the guys who taught me TV lighting. When used in a subtle and appropriate fashion, the effect of this "sharpening" filter is stunning. But this is a matter of personal taste. To my eye the sharpened picture looks better, but you may disagree. Like I said, it's a matter of taste.
    I must add that I am unable to duplicate these results by adding FCP's sharpening filter to an already digitized clip. This says to me that either you need to sharpen before digitizing, or the sharpening algorithm in my Canopus ADVC-300 is way better than the FCP filter. I don't know which it is, but I really don't need to know, practically speaking. It's practical results we are after here, so I can live with the mystery.
    3) Always go back to the earliest generation of analog source tapes you can find. If this means re-editing the program, then be prepared to do it if max quality is your goal.
    In 3/4-inch U-matic format (and especially with 1/2-inch S-VHS or lesser formats) the difference in picture quality between a third-generation dub and a second-generation edit master is immense. Look at the degradation of edge definition and the increase in noise between the generations. It's huge. It's even more striking if you compare the first-generation master tapes with a distribution dub or duplication master.
    Conversely, don't even waste your time if you have a fourth-gen or later distribution dub. If you are dealing with a late generation tape source, then none of our digital and computer editing or enhancement wizardry will matter a hoot. Garbage in equals garbage out. So if you really care about quality, be prepared to go back to the earliest generation tape you can find, even if that means re-editing the program from the first-gen shooting masters.
    OK, that's all I have for you right now. Please post any additional questions or any comments you have on my missives and I'll be glad to get into this further - at least until you suck me dry of usable info.
    Let me leave you with this. It's funny how viewers don't seem to mind poor video quality when watching a late-gen dub on a VHS player. But when you offer them a DVD, they expect to see feature film or broadcast TV quality, and if they don't see something close they won't watch the program with the same degree of receptivity.
    In my experience, picture quality really matters in its effect on the communication process, and that's why we should all take it seriously. Worrying about quality is not a purely technical exercise important only to technicians. Poor audio and poor video quality will negatively impact the communication process. That's why we care about quality.
    After all, it's our business - the COMMUNICATION business. That's the perspective I try to maintain in my work.
    Good Luck in your endeavor. Please let me know how it works out. My e-mail address is in my posted profile.

  • Does DW cs4 do a good job at collapsing xml tags

    hello;
    I use DW8; I have never been able to get it to collapse xml tags; but now I am doing a lot of xml and it is becoming an issue of effecient workflow;
    does DWcs4 do a good job managing tag-collapse related authoring; for instance, does DWcs4 have something like "collapse all tags" or "cullapse current tag"?
    thanks,
    Shannon

    David,
    I seem to be struggling to "collapse full tag";
    I have tried several scenarios of selecting tags in code view, where an opening tag looks like <blah a="aa" b="bb>:
    - placing my cursor within a tag
    - highlighting a tag's name
    - highlighting all text within a tag
    - highlighting the entire tag
    - highlighting the opening tag all the way to the closing tag
    but each time I get a beep from dreamweaver, implying that I am not doing something right ...
    I would think that this would be a no-brainer, but ...
