This topic is better than a lot of the wireless topics.
Oh here we go, I guess you would sue the oil companies if your car ran out
of gas on the way to the hospital, Just another excuse to sue someone about
something.

don't cha know? It's all about blaming someone else so that you don't
have to take personal responsibility for being an idiot.
I guess if the landline goes out because farmer Fred whacks it with
his backhoe, everyone can sue the phone company because the phone line
is out all weekend.

That's right. I would.
(I'm tired of arguing that I wouldn't. You're just one more person who
obviously hasn't read my posts that say that the consumer needs to be
responsible for researching the purchase. Since you obviously didn't bother
reading those posts, it's probably pointless for me to point out that I'm
not necessarily ADVOCATING a suit, just pointing out how easy it would be
to win one. There are already too many lawsuits clogging up our courts.)

No, I read your posts and they make as much sense then as your
babbling does now. I have never heard of anyone successfully suing
the phone company because it didn't work. Maybe it has happened, but
I doubt it.
And you claiming that it *could* happen doesn't make it any more
plausible.
Cell phones die all the time. I haven't heard of anyone suing the
cell phone company because their battery died or they lost a signal.
Oh wait, that's right... maybe pigs fly too. Just because I don't see
any, and no one has else has ever seen one, doesn't mean there aren't
any.

Thank you for your kind concern and assistance. Gee I wouldn't have known,
even though I was following the whole thread and heard it said before.
Unfortunately there isn't any thing else on Verizon Fiber Optics on the ATT
website, which is why others and I have posted here.
Thank you Teddeli, the account information you posted worked fine. I'm up
and running on Verizon now.

Funny I did not read this whole thread. But I wanted to comment on the
battery dying issue. I recently had battery life problems on a Razr
that is less than a year old. I went in to the verizon store thinking
that the battery as like the phone was covered under the 1 year
warranty. However to my surprise I was told that the "battery" was not
considered part of the original warranty. I said it came with the
battery did it not? And the guy at the store said yes it did but was
considered a consumable and that its life varied from 6 months to one
year. At this juncture he said verizon gives a prorate on the battery
and that for $30 I could get the new standard battery or for $48 a new
extended battery. Having no way out of the argument I purchased a new
battery. Life is back to where it was as new and now I know this phone
will cost me $30 every 6-12 months.

That's right. It's like stuff like tires and brakes that aren't covered
under auto warranty because they are wear-and-tear items. They degrade under
regular usage. Likewise, a Li-Ion battery only lasts for a certain number
of discharge/recharge cycles. If the batteries normally lasted several years,
I could see replacing them under warranty if they only lasted a year, or
nine months or whatever.

That's not a bad price for a battery, IMHO. Most brand-new ones I've seen
are $50-60.
