Verizon Wireless Cuts Off Thousands Of Rural Accounts For Roaming Too Much
If you live in rural America, the odds are you do quite a bit of roaming on your cellphone. Even if your home or business is in an area covered by a major national carrier, you likely have to regularly travel to, from, and through places where other providers pick up the slack. This means that rural customers who use their smartphones frequently can cost their carrier as they use gigabytes of data on other company’s networks. This cost has apparently become too much for Verizon, which is once again cutting off a block of rural customers, giving them only a few weeks’ notice to take their business elsewhere.

Already took my business elsewhere. Edison can shove it. Over the last couple of years their Network has been so oversubscribed that quality of service has plummeted while their cost for services rises. Calls to "Customer Service" with complaints of slower and slower LTE fell on deaf ears.
Hey, Verizon....can you hear me now?
The biggest crooks on wireless industry, PERIOD
*verizon..sorry.
im on one of those old unlimited plans
with no other option for data at home, i use @ 80gb a month
wife uses @ 50gb a month
been waiting for the day i get a letter cancelling it.
but with no other option for data, whats a person to do?
You won't get a letter canceling it. They'll just gradually throttle you so far down it'll be unbearable to use.
I had the unlimited plan since 04. They started charging me for each text in 2011. I noticed last year. They said they could only prorate the text fees for 9 months, so I paid for over 5 years of each individual text. Read your bills!
On my unlimited data plan Ive been using about 350gb a month for the past 2 years streaming Netflix, Plex and Amazon. Got a letter around March about cancelling my service. Service was cancelled a month later, I went into a Verizon store and told them what happened. The manager said no prob I'll fix it. I was turned right back on without any issues. Been a Verizon customer for almost 10 years and very happy with their service.
Great service, but completely unaffordable! Was @ $220/ month 2 lines, now about $55- $70 max.
Happy, happy, happy!
TING!
