Tis the start of the downward trend of Verizon

Question

As soon as my Nexus 5 gets here i will be cancelling my contract, thus saving 50$ a month, and 600$ a year, and 1200$ for an entire contract period. Going to a prepaid service most likely. Am excited, and disappointed in Verizon, but my regrets will turn into happiness as soon as i cut the cord, as should you all too, who is considering it.

Answer 1

Oh, I get it.
Pointing out all of the other times in the past where Verizon's days were numbered = I get paid. I wish!
Personally, I could care less if people leave or people stay. EVERY time I go to get a new phone, I ALWAYS look at the other providers to see if their service would be a better fit for my needs.
I used to have Cellular One( which became Cingular and then AT&T) before I switched to Verizon. At one point, I had a Sprint phone AND a Verizon phone. Unfortunately, Sprint service was extremely spotty in the areas I frequent. Looking at the coverage map from Sprint and T-Mobile, my home is clearly in a roaming zone for both of those providers so they miss the cut each time for that reason alone. I would not like to have my service terminated with those providers if I use too many of my minutes/data/texts while roaming which would certainly be the case if I went with them and as is spelled out in their service contract. I prefer to sever ties with a provider on MY decision, not theirs.
I think people should ALWAYS go with the provider which suits their needs best. If a specific phone fills that bill, then so be it. But as I have stated previously, I have heard your prediction, " Verizon's glory days are coming to an end soon.." all too many times in the past and I am sure I will hear it again several times in the future.
Funny thing is, I also see that same prediction about other cellular providers on their hosted forums each time when I am researching my next equipment upgrade.
Now if you will excuse me while I go cash my check, it is payday after all.
Have a WONDERFUL weekend and don't forget to "Fall Back" for that extra hour of sleep on Saturday!
