Verizon has never been unlimited data. You get 5GB/month then start paying
through the nose over that limit something awful. It's a total ripoff.
Sure glad I'm in a Cricket city where unlimited data is $40/mo, $35 with
phone service. I hit it pretty hard and have gotten no threatening notices
or speed slowdowns they said I would. Go figure.
The Cricket map keeps getting bigger....(c;]
Every phone service in America is subject to preemption by national
emergency and military needs, as it should be. During Hurricane Hugo in
1989, my AMPS bagphone was preempted several times as Cellular One had
delivered to the emergency services people a whole truck load of special
high-level phones that always worked. I still stood in the eye of
Hurricane Hugo, in the middle of a completely devastated city, looking up
through the center of the hurricane, with pressure so low you could feel
its vacuum, staring at the beautiful stars in a cloudless sky....while
talking to Ohio on my AMPS bagphone to reassure someone's family they were
OK...SO FAR! The wind started to speed up again from the dead calm of the
eye and the whole neighborhood shifted back the other way as the back side
of the storm tore us up even more leaving us without power, water, sewage,
and roads covered with trees for months and months in its wake. You can't
believe how dark DARK really is when noone in a hundred miles has power.
It seems to suck the light right out of your flashlight.
