yea... so keep in mind that vzw and set(vzb(former mci/uunet) / vzt (the phone company that owns the copper AND also deployed FIOS)) are very, very different things. I think inside vzb/vzt there's some oddness in their planning process for v6, it's completely divorced from the vzw planning. If you want answers about your vzw mifi/phone/tablet you can only ask vzw kiosk/etc people :( >> > It certainly does not work on the iPad "3" in Ohio.
