Verizon CEO Wants To Charge Gamers & Streamers More Money For Internet Access

So if you play games or stream via netflix or other services look to pay more in the future with Verizon. Hey if they want to do that I will drop all my services to bare minimum to make up the difference.

My questioning of the logic here is, don't the heavier users already pay more for a faster connection? Sure people who barely use their connection do the same occasionally, but everyone I know who downloads Gigabytes and plays games has something Fiber-based or Coaxial-based running at 30Mbps or higher.
Exactly. I pay 60 bucks a month for 75/35 Fios. Because I know I will use a high amount of data between streaming and gaming. If Verizon wants to charge even more then I will either A take my business back to comcast (No garuntee they won't do the same) or B downgrade other services that I get from verizon to balance or even cut what I pay them. I hope all gamers and people who stream content let their voices be heard and stop this crap before it happens and we all get screwed..........

IMac after 10.6.8 update no more Wake for network access!!

iMac 2009 - after 10.6.8 no more wake for network access - is a sleep issue because i tested several approached to see what is the problem. If the computer enter in sleep mode then i cannot wake remotely. Anyone with the same problem? (vnc user, etc)

I can confirm this works also. Thanks!

OK. I fixed the problem, for me at least. My time capsule wasn't even showing a light on for the ethernet port, the card in my mac pro was clearly powered down which would explain why the magic packets go missing.
10.6.8 contained a modified version of /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext, more specifically /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/Intel82574L. kext.
I replaced IONetworkingFamily.kext with the version that was present before the 10.6.8 update and my WOL now works once more.
So I'm pretty sure right now that 10.6.8 broke my WOL and I'm also pretty sure I fixed it but I'm not sure what other issues I'm causing as a result.
I have no idea how I get a reaction from Apple given that I have no "support credit" but surely they should support a customer with regressed software. Anyone got any ideas?

Has anyone else got charged stupid amounts of money for not even purchasing anything or just me?

Does anything show on your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ?
And did you have any auto-renewing subscriptions that were due : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098 ?
If you can't find what the charges are for, or you don't recognise them (and nobody has access to your account or devices and may have made them), then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Paying more money for slower internet?

Ok so I got my bill in today and it was $300. The largest bill I've ever got from Verizon FiOS. I skimmed through the bill and noticed I was paying $69.99/m for Verizon FiOS Internet 50/25. I went on the website and saw that they don't even offer 50/25 anymore and on top of that it's only $59.99/m not $69.99/m. So i'm playing an extra $10/m for slower internet that the company doesn't even support anymore. How can I fix this? Has anybody else ever had this problem? If I'm paying $69.99/m for internet I want the 75/75 mbps that they advertise on their website.

Can I give my iPod mini in + more money for a new iPod?

My cousin said that if my iPod mini wasn't working (like now, for example) that I could bring it to the Apple Store, give them the mini and a few extra bucks and they'd give me a newer iPod. True/false?
I live in Canada, by the way. Thanks for any help.

You can bring your old iPod in and get 10% off your new iPod.
Or, if you think you can get more money than that for it, you can try selling it on eBay.

30 day (total 12 hr) duration failed attempt to give verizon MORE money for a new phone

I cover family phones and mifi devices in 3 states: TX, MD and CA. My brother is long overdue for a phone upgrade and we finally decided to do it. He lives in TX and I'm in CA which means that to VZW one of us must live on the face of the moon because no matter how hard I have tried to buy him the new phone and sign a new contract the effort has failed. 1st I set it up, gave him the authority per phone consultant and he tried to walk into a storefront and go through the process. The people he spoke with were entirely unable to compute the concept, refused to take his money and gave him no guidance about how to proceed. We tried this approach twice. Next I called VZW and authorized everything on my end (2nd time but 3rd try) and after a good hour of discussion with "whoever", he went back to the store. It is as if none of my conversations with VZW had ever taken place, Nothing was documented and my hour(s) of hold time and discussion were simply wasted. Contact with VZW must have just been blather with another know-nothing respondent. Tried yet again using the online ordering option and my account access was closed for fraud (???) because my brother lives in TX and I'm in CA. Notwithstanding, VZW autopayments went through, they were happy to take the possibly fraudulent money. Crazy. Now I'm deeply into long conversations with VZW phone respondents using reference numbers and requesting supervisors (so they say) and the first one of these was guaranteed to work-- no question about it-- promises to personally follow through, etc. No phone sent to my brother. Nothing. So I called again, repeated all the steps with double triple checks of credit card numbers (none of which were ever invalid as demonstrated by the charges that went through without difficulty) double triple checking addresses and which numbers are connected to which phones.... From VZW profuse apologies and promise to overnite phone-- gee whiz--- about 28 days late. Today I have an email saying that phone won't be sent until I press a button and authorize/accept the agreement. Which I did verbally on the phone previously and which I also did by punching a bunch of things into the phone service I was transferred to precisely for this purpose. In fact, I was carefully instructed to do this immediately so that the phone COULD be sent right away. So today no overnited phone will arrive. After placing another 2 calls to VZW today (the first was simply cut off) I was told a supervisor would call me in 48 hrs by someone who seemed to take a little bit of pleasure in reinforcing multiple times that no one could get back to me today. Huh? I've got to say that in all of my years dealing with incompetence and lies (this is what you call a promise that you know will not take place VZW) this has been the worst experience ever.
Not incidentally, I am responsible for the business phone operations for a large organization and will make sure that we are no longer VZW customers when the contract is scheduled for renegotiation. If VZW can't deal with family plans why should I trust them with our corporate account? Shocking degree of ignorance, indifference, inefficiency and poor management strategy demonstrated consistently-- among other things. VZW should assume that the way individual customers are treated may impact the bottom line in much bigger ways than it might appear.

this I also understand and fundamentally approve of.
However, we sorted out these issues (multiple times) and the charges went through at the various addresses, in other words the money WAS pulled, but no activity was forthcoming. You can't have it both ways. Fraud you shut down. Money accepted should equal services provided and the equipment that it has paid for. This was a comedy of errors that became unfunny after about the 5th phone call and 10th email. No one is laughing in my household anymore.
As you suggest, I like my services to be protective. However, I do not like talking to people on the phone who make promises they can't/won't deliver on. In particular I do not like paying for things that are then denied me due to system failure of any kind. When that failure is pointed out repeatedly, and corrections are "guaranteed: and nothing changes I'm stupefied and enraged.
Errors happen. I'd expect that once maybe, twice on occasion when there is a good explanation. Multiple times over 30 days. Unacceptable.
Thank you for your interest.

I want to put my wifi password in for internet but mac automatically connects, how can i stop this?

So I connect to my wifi automatically, but recently I simply want it to ask for a wifi password instead of automatically connecting because other people use this MacBook also...

Doesn't each user have a login with a different password.. the login on the Macbook itself is much more important than the wireless login.
You should be able to set the Airport or wifi to not remember the password.
Untick remember the network.. clean them all out of the airport settings and start over..

Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access? Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

Thanks for the help. Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible. Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it?
I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located. Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet. Thanks for the help.

If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

Droid rebooting and Verizon reps want to make it my issue!!!!!!!.......

I am having the same issues with my phone. I went into the Verizon store downtown DC last month and the customer service rep said that he also had a droid and it was rebooting on its own as well but that Verizon was supposed to be coming up with an update to solve the situation. He also told me that there was no point in getting a "NEW" refurbished phone because it would do the same thing since it was a problem with the droid's. I went in today and they told me that it was not a known problem and that I had solutions. The first was I could get the new refurbished phone and chance it happening again, I could set up a new line on an account that is not even mine, pay 9.99 for the new account and then pay the upgrade price, or I can pay full price for a different droid which runs about $500 and then they will give me a $50 credit......That does not seem like a fair solution. I work with children and need to have my phone available and working at all times in case we are outside and there is an emergency. Again the managers at the Verizon store in downtown DC said that it was not a known problem....How can it not be a known problem and there are so many people on here complaining about the same problem? This is not my problem or issue and should not be dropped in my lap. I should not have to pay more money for a phone that was already expensive to begin with.

Why do i pay more and more money yet the service gets worse and worse -- all the way around.

First of all, someone need to repair this site, because now, for the last thee times I've tried to log in, I have gotten a message that my password and user name aren't matching or some such nonesense. Mind you, I have it written down, and log in once a month to ipay the bill.
No more. They'll get it in the mail.
This is on verizon's end. At first I had no problems but for the life of me, I cannot log into my main account, which I only do to pay the bill.
THAT is going to stop.
Next, I want everyone to realize here that my cellphone is still on hold, and it's been a ONE HOUR, AND TEN MINUTES AND I ENDED THE CALL. This is inexcuseable. Unacceptable. I won't pay more money for that crap, quite frankly.
I'm sure now I've been routed to a black hole, because when I called in, I was -- AND THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS -- routed five tims, five times, five times back to the beginning cue. It is outrageous. There are customer service issues and I'll bet there are even laws against this tyupe of fraud. I call, I expect to punch in the correct info, which I do, then get routed to the proper place. Instead five times I got booted back to the cue.
Hey, if it were so easy as they claim this 'IN HOUSE AGENT" AND THIS LIVE CHAT -- WHICH I WAITED 15 MINUTES FOR SOMEONE NAMED ALEX WHO CUT ME OFF, IT MIGHT BE A WAY TO DO. BUT NOT WHEN THE WAIT IS JUST AS LONG, THE PERSON ON THE END IS JUST AS RUDE, THE SERVICE STINKS SO BAD, AND YOU BET I WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE,...
MY VOD DOESN'T WORK.
WITH THE BILL I PAY FOR FIOS TV AND INTERNET, IT BETTER WORK. I KNOW THEY ARE ENGAGING IN THROTTLING -- THAT'S BAD ENOUGH. BUT VOD NOT WORKING? BAD, BUT NOT REACHING SOMMEONE ON THE PHONE? WORSE.
I FAIL TO SEE WHY ANYONE SHOUDL CONTINUE TO PAY MORE AND MORE MONEY AND GET THIS CRAP SERVICE, AND THAT'S WHAT IT IS LET'S NOT HEAR FRON ANY SYCOPHANTS.
BUT I SEE THEY TAKE MY MONEY EACH MONEY. THEY SURE TO TAKE IT.
WHAT GIVES WITHT HE WEBSITE AND ME CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT THE ISSUE WITH THAT? BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE AGGRAVATED, AND YOU SAY OK, LET'S SEE IF THIS WEBSITE HELP IS ANY GOOD -- HYOU WANT TO BLOODY WELL LOG IN WITHOUT HAVING TO CREATE ANOTHER PASSWORD.
THEN YOU WANT TO GET SONEONE HWO HELPS, NOT AN **bleep**, OBVIOUSL,Y VERIZON ISN'T [PAYING MUCH YOU CAN'T GET ANYONE TO WORK NIGHTS.
I WILL CALL BILLING TOMORROW. i WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR THIS MONTH'S PAYMENT.
THIS IS THE WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. AT LEAST BRIGHTHOSUE IS HERE I TAMPA.

What type of phone do you have? Is it a newer, 4G phone? Those phones are NOT available with one of the pre-paid plans.
Do you have a Family plan, or only an individual plan? Family plans are not an option on pre-paid plans. You would have to manage each line separately, keeping a pool of money available in each plan to be paid when the plan renews each month.
Several people have posted on these forums when they have forgotten to "fund" their pre-paid account and have lost their number and have to begin service again from scratch. There are also those on these forums who have forgotten the funds in their pre-paid account "expire" after a period of time and money in your account can be lost in this manner. Yes, there are upsides, but there ARE downsides to having a pre-paid account. You would have to balance the pros and cons to see which would be the best fit for you.
Of course, pre-paid is an option, one which everyone must make for themselves. Not everyone will be happy with a pre-paid, but if price is the deciding factor in your choice, it may be the correct choice in your case.

How to set authorization in more detail for ME11,e.g. material group, etc.?

Hi,
As we know, we can use plant, purchasing organization, purchasing group as authorization object to carry out authorization check when creating purchasing info record in ME11.
But now my customer wants to set authorization in more detail, for example, use material group and some certain fields in vendor master.
It seems standard authorization setting for ME11 cannot do this.
Is there any method to meet the need? or some enhancements or BADi?
Thanks
Wesley

Hi, Akhileshwar
Thanks for your information. I have thought of creating authorization object values, but the problem is where to let SAP carry out the authorization check to the new object in ME11/ME12.
So I think maybe some enhancements can let us write authority check code to do it.
But I am not sure which enhancement or user exit can be used to write this code.
Wesley

I Want to buy a new phone but verizon wants to charge full price on a new phone

People listen this is the most ridiculous attitude that the verizon customer service came up with. They are Just out to steal money from every customer
If you buy their phone stand to reason that your are going to buy their service. I am Just dumb founded! How can they do that? Charge full price of a plain phone
when they have the price posted example seventy nine dollars and they want to charge 299 dollars for their own phone. I am frustrated. I need a phone. I think when this is over I will be going to the competition. All I want is for verizon to know is I am buying their service and I need a phone the price they have posted
on their phones.

HAHAHH
that is funny OP
A service provider... selling service..roflllllllllllllllllll
too funny
