ok, so i just got a letter in the mail from Verizon saying that i have violated the terms of my contract by downloading in excess of 10GB over the last 30 days and that my account will be closed. im guessing this is the first time they have reviewd it becouse this has been a fairly slow month for me. this is really funny becouse i dont really download becouse of the speed is not that fast, i mean its quick but not road runner.oh well, i got it till the 18th, thanks to JW for helping me accomplish this, becouse i was paying alot.

What a load of crap! I didnt know there was a max limit to d/l

Fuck Verizon!

agentorange · 10-11-2006, 07:41 PM

well from the terms and conditions it states that your not supposed to D/L anything, but im happy cuz i was paying out the ass and it wasnt even that fast, so now i can get road runner and D/L till i go blind. wow i made 3 post today, im gonna quit while im ahead.

I see. I use DSL - so far no issues. I dont get the super high speeds of cable but I dont get the lows either.

sounds like you were paying to take it up the ass dude :shock:

dutchmasterflex · 10-11-2006, 08:45 PM

^I can understand those rules but that's bullshit if they say its against there TOS if you "download"..

Usually they don't want you using up the upstream bandwidth.. damn verizon DSL sucks.

Although their fiber optic service, FIOS is a great deal with amazing speeds, and you can share it and use it as much as you want

agentorange · 10-11-2006, 08:56 PM

i dont care really. besides road runner is cheaper. i wonder how much i can D/L from now and the time they cut me off. man ive never even uploaded anything either. i guess ill upload something tonight, unless RC has already posted the the same videos(HPD night cruisers, Vision boy remix) if you havent i will, but i dont know how to make screen shots.

This is dodgy, but seeing as you weren't remarkably fond of it, I can't see many downsides to the cancellation.
