Internet issues - Harborwitch - 02-13-2010
Well somehow my 5gig limit on Verizon internet is gone - so I will have limited access until the 2nd of March. I'll miss you all.
Working to resolve this but will have to wait until Monday.

...or maybe Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday (Presidents' Day).

Re: Internet issues - Harborwitch - 03-02-2010
Well all I'm back!
The issues here are many. There is no cable TV, no DSL from the phone co.. There are some satellite solutions, but we have a 2 yr contract with Verizon for their mobile broadband. They limit you to 5gig of up and downloads and somehow they said I went over my monthly usage in 12 days!
I don't have a clue how - neither do they, they just show that I did. Soooooooo I had to be really really good for the rest of the month because one of the phone support idiots told me it was 25 cents a minute, another told me it was 25 cents a mb, finally got it nailed down at a nickle a mb.
Verizon used to have a 50.00 unlimited plan, but they had to drop it because of over-usage. Now they have a daily plan, a weekly plan, the 60.00 plan we're on, and a 2 or 300.00 plan. I suggested that they need to look at a plan in the middle.
They're crediting me back the charges for my overage. Now I have to really watch what I do.

No Skype, YouTube or Internet radio for you.

Yeah - that yanks my chain. All I can say is that it's a good thing our cell phones work great here or I'd be tempted to dump them. But Verizon has the best coverage of any cell company here.

You know, I've have the same issues for needing an "in-between" plan here. We had Altell for YEARS. Verizon has bought them out and my old plans went out the window. If I want to change from our OLD Altell plan, I'll have to pay a fortune to have anything comparable with Verizon. We're struggling trying to find a workable plan for our family and extended family...OIY! I feel your pain!

Be sure to turn off your computer, not just let it go to sleep. It can still continue its connection to the mobile modem.
So glad you are back!!
