Unlimited Plan throttled and punishment for overage

Yes, I have read the fine print, previous entries, and understand that even with my grandfathered "Unlimited" broadband plan, Verizon will throttle back my speed when I go over 5gb.
Here is what angers me.  Being a loyal VZW customer for over 9 years, with 5 phone lines and a broadband package, I am getting punished for my overage.   Last month I went over my 5gb on the 13th.  My billing cycle date is the 22nd, which is when usage is reset.  Common sense would dictate that the speed gets reset too.  No, VZW stated that my speed is throttled back for 4 weeks from the date of going over.  So I have to wait until November 10th to have my speed back up which is over half way through my billing cycle.  I emailed the NW regional President and her assistant replied, that they do not do anything about it.  It's the way it is.
Does anyone know any ideas to be able to track usage in real time?  Does usage change depending on what internet browser used?  Is there a minimum speed to be considered broadband?
I am even more frustrated since I found this out after upgrading to MIFI.  If I happen to go over my "unlimited" 5gb plan again, I might get punished even longer and never get back up to speed.
P.S.  Do they throttle the data plans for smartphones too?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, that is pretty much the way it is.  When the unlimited plans originally came out, no one was even coming close to 5GBs of usage, so it was really a nonissue.  With the way the internet and media has evolved, obviously speeds and 5GB is a whole different ball game.  They can throttle your usage for the amount of time they listed and they can keep doing it.  Now that you know, all you can do is stay below 5GB.  Also, there are new plans/pricing for MiFi's, so you could get 10GB of usage for $80 and not have to worry as much, or you can even lower to $50 a month for 5GB and save some money. 
Smartphones are not throttled and are truly unlimited.  I know many people in my circle of family and friends that use more than 5GB on a regular basis.

  • Creating Planned orders and Requisitions for a particular MRP controller and for all the others only Requisition is to be created.

    Hi Experts,
    Currently we run Program 'RMMRP000' as a batch job to create Planned orders and requisitions.
    The client wants that Planned orders and Requisitions should be created for a particular MRP controller and for all the others only Requisition is to be created.
    I implemented Exit 'EXIT_SAPMM61X_001' in the following manner by passing MRP controller to user_key.
      IF mt61d-dispo <> user_key.
        no_planning = 'X'.
      ENDIF.
    But as you can see that this will not meet my client requirement.
    If any of you has worked on similar requirement / if any one knows that this is achievable or not,
    please share your inputs.

  • Plan Assessment and Allocation for Service Orders (CS)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to run plan assessment (KSUB) and plan allocation (KO9E) for a service order (created via IW31), but I'm not able to do it.
    I can do assessments (KSU5) and allocations (KO8G) with real values, but since I'm not able to do it in plan mode, I can't have comparative values between real and planned values (no value is flowing to allocation secondary cost elements).
    Can anyone let me know if this is some sort of limitation for Service Orders? Because I checked SPRO in transaction code KOAI and for this type of orders there is no Indicator for Integrated Planning, nor it's possible to assign a planning profile.
    Many thanks for any help you can provide!

  • Why can I get unlimited Verizon Service at Walmart for $45 but not here?

    I'm wondering if anyone knows why I can go down to Walmart and get a Verizon phone with unlimited internet, text and calling for $45 a month but when I go into a Verizon store I have to pay minimum $103 per month for a smaller service plan and then I also have to sign a ridiculous 2 year service agreement. Does anyone know why this is or should I ask the FTC? Please don't say it's because they give me a $600 phone for $100 because I just paid full price for an iPhone 5s.

    Chipster - My grandpa has a Trac-fone; it's a (removed)!  He can never figure out how to add minutes, which aren't cheap.  Texts are deducted as minutes.  He forgets to renew them, as they expire frequently if you don't buy a year's worth at one time.  He has to get one of his kids to add his minutes for him; or, he wastes 3 hours going to Wal*Mart to have them do it!  Tracfone, does however, send plenty of texts reminding you when your minutes expire; and, usage expiration does show up on the face of the phone.  But, unless you're willing to put up with the hassle and expense, they do have a nice LG model.  Depending on where you buy it (like HSN.com), you can get double minutes for life.  Frankly, grandma and I like the paperless Verizon plan (she doesn't text), whereby the bill is the same, every month, and is paid for automatically; no muss - no fuss!

  • Open planned orders and production orders

    Hi friends,
    I have one issue with my client.
    Client has 1 lac materials in sap .Now he wants extract all materials open planned orders and open production orders with quantity and dates.
    Please tell me the process how i can extract the data from sap for above requirement.
    Thanks,
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    For open planned order and production order select the respective box.
    But one suggestion. Try to convince client that this report will take a lot of time as you have mentioned 1 lac materials are there.
    You can exclude system status and get it with below screen as mentioned already.
    But my suggestion is to run the report at night when the system load is very less. Please create a background job one for planned order and another for production order. Then run it in midnight as per the customer requirement in background. You can automate the process by sending automatic mail to customer. Please refer the below link to trigger mail.

  • Planning of Dependent Requirements for BOM Components in Make to Order scen

    Hi Friends - I want to execute a full cycle Make to Stock Scenario with Materials planning using MRP.
    The scenario will include BOM Components with Routing.
    The process flow I want to execute -
    1. Create a Sales Order for a Finished Product (Product should have a BOM for Production)
    2. Do the product Materials Planning for the Sales Order through MD50
    3. Get all the dependent material requirements (both for products as Planned Order and also for BOM Components - all the BOM components should also be planned)
    4. Convert Planned Order for Product to Production Order
    5. Convert Planned Orders for BOM components to Purchase Requisition
    6. Confirm Production Order
    To execute this I have done the following
    1. I have created a Material Master data for Finished Product (FERT).
    2. I have assigned Item Category Group - NORM, and General Item Category group as NORM
    3. I have assigned MRP Type PD in MRP 1 View and Strategy Group 20 (Make to Order Production) in MRP 3 View.
    4. Now created a Universal (Type 3) BOM for the product with one material component.
    5. Now also created a Routing for the Material with two operations having PP01 a control key.
    6. Now created a standard sales order for the product.
    7. Executed the MD50 for the Sales Order Item.
    Now where do I find the BOM components for this material in the Sales Order?
    After executing the planning Run MD50 I am only getting the requirements for Product only. I can't see any dependent requirements for the BOM components.
    How do I make sure that the BOM components are also planned while the product is planned?
    I have checked the component Stock Requirement List - there are no requirements generated from the Sales Order Product BOM.
    Pls help me on this. How to do this so that the raw material components are also planned?
    Thanks
    Purnendu

    Hi Dhaval, Sandeep, Ashok - Thanks a lot for your replies.
    I have checked the Planned Order Created through Planning Run.
    If I click on the Components Tab I am getting following message
    No material components were determined
    Message no. 61027
    Diagnosis
    Until now, no BOM explosion has been carried out or no BOM has been created for this material yet.
    Procedure
    Either explode the bill of material for this material, or
    create the components manually by processing the planned order in change mode.
    If I try to explode the BOM through Header Menu - Edit> Explode BOM
    I am getting the same message.
    If I click on the Bill of Material Tab - I am getting the same above messge.
    Ashok - I have tried both the Selection Method -
    Nil - Selection by Order Quant.
    1 - Selection by Explosion Date
    But with no effect.
    Waiting for your advice.
    Thanks and warm regards

  • Function Module to find Planned Costs and Actual Costs against WBS element

    Dear All,
    We have a requirement where we need to find out the Planned Costs and Actual Costs booked against a WBS element, in a year. The costs can be against all the plan versions or on individual plan version.
    Are there any function modules to retrieve this value?
    Thanks for the help.
    Warm Regards,
    Judith

    Hi,
    The easiest way would be to get the OBJNR for all WBS elements from PRPS and look up RPSCO and summarize for Value type (RPSCO-WRTTP) 1 for planned cost and 4 for Actual cost.
    Please let me know if this helps.

  • Planning Procedure and Horizon Auto Update

    Is it possible to auto update the planning procedure as (4) and SNP, PPDS horizon (360 days) while CIFing material from ECC to APO.
    Is their any coding required for the same?
    Regards

    Hi,
    If you want to maintain same value of horizon for all products, you can maintain this in Model & Version management.
    PP Planning Procedure can be maintained using MassD.
    If you want to maintain different values of PP Planning procedure and Horizon for each product, you can use ABAP code for this. There are CIF user exits from both APO side and ECC side. This is regular process in almost all projects and developers would be aware of these function modules.

  • Upgrade Calling Plan and stilll incur overages...Hogwash

    Dear Verizon, 
    I recently began a new job and after a short stint with a company phone I decided it would be simpler to just upgrade my phone to unlimited and circumvent the need for another bulky phone in my pocket.  I also have began talking to and texting a sweet blonde haired blue eyed gal on another network.  Before I upgraded, I closely monitored my minute usage and text messages to avoid costly overages and to see if unlimited talk and text was really necessary.  As I would approach a limit i would upgrade the phone plan to avoid the extra cost and, as I thought, steered clear from a $300 phone bill.  I changed my calling plan twice, ultimately to Unlimited talk and text as i mentioned earlier.  To my dismay I saw my monthly bill was $300 this month, I calmed myself down and called a soft spoken customer service associate who kindly explained that I was being billed overages due to the PRORATED minutes and texts that incurred as I upgraded from the previous plan.  ...
    This is very upsetting and unacceptable.  For those of us who closely monitor our usage employing the on-line services to AVOID overages and then to get duped by the fine print to incur equal overages if i had not upgraded my plan.  I know what some will say "You should have just upgraded earlier" or "Well since you are now unlimited you won't have that problem again".  To that I say, hogwash.  I trusted Verizon's online services and I am paying out the nose for it.  
    Thanks but No Thanks Verizon.  
    If AT&T's service was medicore, I would switch.
    Colton Janes

    It's possible you can get the overages covered by asking the CS rep to BACKDATE the plan change to the beginning of the billing cycle; then you will be covered for the whole month.  Pay the unlimited pricing for the entire month, and have no overages.  SInce the bill has already been generated, they may not go for that....but it's worth a shot.
    If you were "approaching your limit" when you made the plan switch, then you would be getting overages with prorating....
    For example, you were on the 450 minute plan, but one week into the month, you saw had used 400 minutes....so you switched to the 900 minute plan.  One week on the 450 minute plan would net you about 100 minutes allowance for that week - so you'd have an overage of 300 minutes.  The remaining 3 weeks on the 900 plan would give you an allowance of about 600 for the remainder of the month - or less if you switched plans again.  It's tricky, it's going to get you almost every time, and the way to avoid it is to BACKDATE the plan or have the new plan start at the beginning of the next billing cycle.  If you are already over, backdating is the only way.  Saavy reps MAY tell you that, most will not, and just let you find out whenyou get the bill. 

  • Verizon sales associates and or customer service personnel practice deceitful behavior in order to eliminate unlimited plans in any way they can..

    I called up customer service n order to shut off one of my lines as a disciplinary action towards one of my children. I'm sure its a fairly common event. As I was completing this task, the representative advised me that instead of paying the data plan at 30.00 dollars a month, I should shut off the data for the duration of this lines shut down. Well that was very nice indeed! here my company is trying to say me money. after all, I'm not using the line, why should I pay for data that I would not be using.. Okay! That's great!!! Thank you very much. You see, I had told them I was taking it down for 3 or 4 months so my child could raise their grades and prove their ability to graduate high school. At that point I would turn it back on. So great! The line is off and I'm not paying data! Only thing that is affected is the length of the contract. It would be extended the same amount of time as the phone line was of.. This is reasonable.
    FAST FORWARD! My daughter graduates with HONORS!!! Yes I'm proud of her. So first things first. She did as she was told. She get her phone back! Now I go and turn on the line and find afterward that my once unlimited plan for that phone will now be charged at 2 gigs per month and Verizon has thrown out my unlimited data package on this phone line! I ask why. They state that since I choose to voluntarily shut off the data package, I forfeited my grandfathered unlimited package on this line. I also was told that since the line was shut off for more than 60 days that they would not restore my plan based on the fact that I voluntarily shut it off and canceled my data package for this line.  Okay! That's great!!! Thank you very much.Sound familiar? The nice representative who was saving me money every month never told me I would loose my unlimited data package if I shut off my data after I suspended my line need less to say, ON THEIR ADVISE!!!  So as far as I'm concerned, the representative was just following the call from above to do what ever they had to in order to get rid of unlimited data lines. After all, Verizon sold millions of data ready phone knowing full well that their infer-structure couldn't handle the mass influx of data being pull in by happy unlimited data customers!! So one on the most powerful communication companies on the planet has turned to lies and deceit and misleading tactics to get back any little bit of operating space in their systems, no matter what it costs their  customers. After all why should Verizon have to pay for upgrades.How will they ever survive!! How you ask?!?!? Why it's simple. Put the cost back on their own customers. After all, If they want good service make them pay for it. If they don't pay enough ( myself 310.00 a month average for 3 lines!) then hell, charge them more!
    I was lied to and misled by a Verizon representative. They cancelled my unlimited data package with out explaining that if i did cancel it at that time i would not get it back! this all after I questioned the fact that I was concerned about losing the package. I was assured EVERYTHING WAS OK AND IT WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.
    I filed a complaint with customer service on 6/2/12 concerning this matter and was told that it would take up to 14 days for this to be reviewed and at that time I would be contacted by a manager involved it this type of problem. So today 6/12/12 , after waiting 11 days decided to call and see how this process was coming along. Come to find out, my dispute was denied on 6 /5/12 because I voluntarily shut off the data package and the line was off for more that 60 days. these two things were never told to me when I questioned their recommendations to save me money. Also when i filed the complaint on 6/2/12 i ask the rep if she was writing down my side of this story so they would know why i was not happy about all of this.. her answer, NO.What i had to say wasn't relevant to her peaceful afternoon now that i had called up and ruined any chance of a quiet spell I assume.
    With all these considerations I formally request that Verizon restore the unlimited package to this line. THAT WOULD ONLY BE A FAIR SOLUTION SINCE I WAS RAILROADED OUT OF IT BY A DECEITFUL EMPLOYEE!
    That said, I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and also posting this story wherever relevant around the world wide web.I'm an Honest person but don't cheat me out of what I have. when I'm right I know it. this is not right. please make it right. 
    I am saving a copy of this letter just in case there is an accident and this post is mistakenly deleted.  That way I can restore it so as to warn other customers  or even better, future customers to be aware that they to  may run into problems with their account if they take the friendly advise  of the representatives they are supposed  trust with their accounts!!

    $310 a month for 3 lines? Wow. How the heck?

  • Unlimited plan for iPad 2 in Puerto Rico?

    Well I want to know if I can get unlimited plan for my iPad 2 in puerto rico, because is not a option when I try to get it, just the option of 250MB and the other of 2GB, anyone know what I need to do to get the unlimited?

    Totally different device.
    It was the choice of the wireless provider, not Apple. If you want to email them about it they probably have a complaint link at their websites.
    Plus, you can't get unlimited data on the iPhone anymore. Both AT&T and Verizon stopped offering it.
