    How convincing is this for a proof of throttling?

    That's the one. Some people are already reporting that it's getting fixed in some areas.

    Apparently you can upgrade your line and keep unlimited (Verizon)

    Sounded too good to be true anyway. You know what they say: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is (with my luck, anyway.)

    Straight Talk updates TOS now specifies 2.5 GB is data limit then throttle

    I know there's auto refill. But with 31 days in a month, and 30 days on the plan, the due date has to change constantly, which is a difference from post-paid. Now, that's actually not much of a concern for me these days, but I wasn't a born silver-spooner. I've lived paycheck-to-paycheck for...

    Apparently you can upgrade your line and keep unlimited (Verizon)

    Damn it! I wish I'd known about this two days ago. I just paid $650 dollars for a new phone.

    Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    It's a "mute" point now. I got the standard Droid Maxx. I could do without the bloatware, but it honestly doesn't bother me that much. To reiterate, the HTC One was not considered for vanity--not even close. It was considered for its quality design and construction, something one can't truly...

    Straight Talk updates TOS now specifies 2.5 GB is data limit then throttle

    There are always trade offs going to an MVNO. For instance, straight talk has 30 day plans. Half the months of the year have 31 days, so your due date keeps changing. Forget to refill, and the service is cut off at midnight. International calling won't work unless you have money sitting in...

    How convincing is this for a proof of throttling?

    First off, not convincing. I've used throttled T-Mobile plenty of times, and ping is virtually unaffected. They merely slow your throughput (to almost exactly 128 kbps, IIRC). The half-second pings indicate a malfunction of some kind. There's a big thread over at HowardForums about a...

    Best cheap phone for Verizon Unlimited LTE tethering

    Do yourself a favor and avoid the GNex. Mine overheated easily if charging and hotspotting. When it overheated, it would stop charging and the battery would actually drain. Also, the stock tethering app on my Verizon Gnex connected in Ad Hoc mode. I don't know whether that would pose a...

    Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    I brought home little Maxx from the Mall of America tonight. 0 pounds, 5.9 ounces, 5.41 inches long. So far so good. Mobile hotspot appears to work in infrastructure/AP mode just fine. Haven't tested throughput, but as long as it gets the job done, I'll be happy. Edit to add some first...

    Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    I'm glad this came back up. I'm still deciding--meanwhile, my 2nd of two batteries is deteriorating rapidly on my current HTC Thunderbolt. I like the HTC one because not only is it cosmetically nice, it's just plain well built. It's solid. You can put it in both hands and try to twist it...

    How are iPhones with tethering?

    Verizon allows tethering on the share plan, and as far as I know, on other limited plans for no additional charge. But if you're on unlimited, they charge an extra $30 for the extra data transferred by using your cell phone as an ISP. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I...

    Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    For me, infrastructure mode hotspot > all I believe the HTC One has it--I've read that most HTCs do, as does my current HTC phone. I can't find jack for info about the Motorolas, so I'm just going to drag my 17-inch laptop and my ipod to the Verizon store and see for myself. Thanks for the...

    Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    I'd say almost none. As nice as that would be, Verizon still won't activate phones it doesn't sanction, even if technically compatible.

    Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    If the HTC One is any indication, I have a feeling that the One Max won't be coming to Verizon for months, if ever, and I can't wait that long. My current phone is old and slow, its battery is starting to wear out, and I accidentally cracked the screen last week. I use the hotspot a lot, which...

    Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    I wish HTC made an extended battery version of the One. I wouldn't mind a few extra mm of thickness if they could cram 3500 mAh in there. It would be a done deal.

    Pole: Droid Maxx by Motorola vs. HTC One (Verizon)

    It's past time for an upgrade on Verizon. I'm paying full price for a new phone in order to keep unlimited data, so this is a pretty big purchase. I've narrowed it down between the Motorola Droid Maxx ($650) and the HTC One ($600). I think I've made my decision, but thought I'd run it by my...

    Anyone here still have Unlimited Data?

    It's definitely a Verizon thing. Verizon only lets you keep it if you pay full price for a new phone, or buy used. If you accept the 2-year contract price, they'll make you choose a new "limited" data plan. On the plus side with Verizon, they don't throttle their LTE network at all, so it is...

    Anyone here still have Unlimited Data?

    Not as much as they make from people who have to pay exorbitant rates to use over 2GB. I figure once the required infrastructure is built and paid for, it doesn't cost them much more to transfer 20 GB than 2. So why the highway robbery style data fees?

    Getting Sprint to waive ETF?

    It's well known that if you cost Sprint a few dollars in wholesale roaming for a few months in a row, they'll send you a letter saying "we beg of you, stop using our service--we'll even let you go for free!" Eventually, they'll terminate your service, ensuring that they never see another...

    iPhone 5S/5C thread

    That the 5c replaces the 5 isn't very surprising. The 5c is undoubtedly less expensive to manufacture, probably costs the carriers less (allowing for deeper discounts if necessary), and it offers an improved camera. I'm a little surprised the 4s is sticking around. I had assumed the carriers...

    iPhone 5S/5C thread

    You guys are missing the point. This means future iPads will also be 64-bit. The way people are using tablets for more and more tasks, iPad is more likely to benefit from 64-bit architecture sooner than the iPhone. Putting it out on iPhone is just the practice round. iPad will be the main...

    Dirt cheap data plans: Virgin Mobiles vs T-Mobile

    As long as you have an AT&T/unlocked phone, and don't mind not being able to check the weather, Facebook, etc., when out without wi-fi, I don't see why not. I would turn off/block mobile data on your phone. 10 cents a MB is ouch!

    Questions for people with non-landline phones.

    Your two major choices for that kind of usage are T-Mobile prepaid on the Pay As You Go plan, or TracFone. The details on how each works vary slightly, and $50 that "lasts forever" isn't going to happen, but you generally can buy service for up to a year in advance for about $100+tax. (Works...

    Questions for people with non-landline phones.

    Verizon is the most reliable for voice calls. I've used them all, and even Verizon has occasional hiccups, but my phone failing to ring when someone calls me is exceedingly rare on Verizon (that's happened only a few times since 2001) and delayed voicemail notifications has never happened as...

    For what it's worth, Leo Laporte "The Tech Guy" has tried all the latest high end smart phones, and while he readily admits "there is no perfect smartphone," he also has called the Galaxy S4 "a piece of junk." He was using the HTC One and loving it except for the battery life, until the S4...

    Dirt cheap data plans: Virgin Mobiles vs T-Mobile

    I think outside of a few fanboys on S4Guru, everybody knows that Sprint sucks pretty much everywhere. "Sprint Network Vision" is just marketing propaganda for deferred upgrades that they've failed to do over the last decade. T-Mobile also sucks, but only if you're in an area that can't take...

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    Verizon insisted on doing their own QC testing before releasing Google's OTA's. They rejected several OTA's for bugs because Verizon didn't want buggy OTA's going out to their customers. Verizon would have to deal with the complaints by passing the buck to Google--or swapping for a...

    Just bought a Used 2009 Chrysler T&C -- Question about used car warranty

    Think of it as insurance policy, because that's basically how they work. Then think about whether you want or can afford to "self-insure" if something major goes wrong.

    Should I switch to Sprint ?

    Don't be a victim. Friends don't let friends use Sprint PCS or Sprint-Nextel or any other name Sprint's incompetent Nextel-buying management decided to call themselves that year. My first cell phone was with Sprint in 1999. I decided that Sprint was a bad deal in 2001 when I finally realized...

    Need backup internet

    If I was in a T-Mobile 4G area, especially in an area where they've upgraded to LTE, I wouldn't rule them out until I tried them. A couple years ago, I occasionally used the Wi-Fi hotspot feature of my T-Mobile G2 (since it was unlocked on that phone). It worked pretty well for not even...

    How do you eat at an airport restaurant if you have no where to fly?

    I miss being able to go to the airport for no reason in particular. A friend an I actually used to go to the airport to plane-watch and people-watch back when we were young, poor, and bored. We'd sit in the "observation lounge" for a little while, and we'd wait for certain flights to...

    How far have smartphones come in 2+ years?

    What gives is you have an obsolete OS, 512 MB of RAM, and a 2 1/2 year old single core processor trying to run modern apps. Android has come a long way, and Android hardware has come even farther. Android 4.3 (heck, even 4.0--but 4.1 really started to get good) is unbelievably better than...

    Verizon to Sell the Best Smarphone

    The One is a great piece of hardware, but HTC needs to get with the program as far as what people want and expect from the nightly battery charge. I hope they can pull off some sort of mid-year refresh that includes a "Maxx" version with a built-in extended battery. I'd take one even if it's a...

    anyone here sell their verizon unlimited? update: trying to port number away now.

    Yeah... I wouldn't if I cared about that number. The safest way to keep your number is to activate a month-to-month line on your account using any old working Verizon dumbphone, swap numbers between the two lines, then port out your old number. That leaves your unlimited line with the...

    Can Hybrids Be More Reliable than ICE cars?

    The Prius is reliable because there's not much to go wrong inside the transmission (AKA, the "Hybrid Synergy Drive" system), the engine is as good as any other, and Toyota managed to make the high-voltage electrical system robust as well. The electrical system is the most important, because...

    Motorola Sucks..... So I got an S4

    The X2 only had 512MB of RAM. Very few if any phones with that little RAM ever got OTA updates beyond GB. If there were any, they weren't on Verizon. People were ticked at Samsung and Verizon for the same thing with the Droid "Charge," another 512MB phone that never got an OTA beyond...

    Any big red flags on 02 through 05 jags, LS's, C classes SLS's all around 100k miles?

    If I wanted something a little luxurious on a budget like yours, I think a loaded "regular" brand would be a better value. Buick, Ford/Mercury, Honda Accord EX, Toyota Camry LE, etc. That's the direction I'd look in. They might not have quite as many bells and whistles, but they'll be a lot...

    Buying a used Subaru advice

    I was going to say Poquet seems to be, like, the place to buy a used Subaru, but, yeah, they only deal in later models. Not to be discouraging, but trying to find the perfect car for $6,000 car is tough. That's a good price that a lot of the "I don't want to finance" people have ready in their...
