Just more justification of why we need more Muni-WiFi's! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stan Slonkosky Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 8:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SOCALWUG] Verizon terminating EVDO accounts for excessive usage
A number of Verizon users have recently received a letter, which states, in part: "As you know, the terms and conditions that govern your NationalAccess and/or BroadbandAccess account, which were provided to you at the time of service activation and which are posted on VerizonWireless.com, only permit Internet browsing, email, and intranet access. All other activities, such as streaming and/or donwloading movies and video, are expressly prohibited by the terms and conditions. A copy of the terms and conditions is enclosed. "We recently reviewed your Verizon Wireless NationalAccess and/or Broadband Access account and found that your usage over the past 30 days exceeded 10 Gigabytes. Your usage was more than 40 times that of a typical user. This level of usage is so extraordinarily high that it could only have been attained by activites, such as streaming and/or downloading movies and video, prohibited by the terms and conditions. Based on these facts, your extraordinarily high levels of usage conclusively demonstrate a violation of the terms and conditions, and your account will be terminated on 5/30/2006." Sever users at http://www.evdoforums.com/about2366-0-asc-15.html reported that. Others have reported that their termination date is to be June 5. Also see the article "Use SlingBox, Get Your EVDO Terminated" at http://www.evdoinfo.com/Tips/PC_5220/Use_SlingBox%2C_Get_Your_EVDO_Terminate d_20060601753 and the related item http://www.evdoforums.com/about2548.html . So far there are numerous reports of Verizon getting their accounts terminated but only one from a Sprint user getting his account terminated. -- Stan Slonkosky __________ NOD32 1.1572 (20060601) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SOCALWUG" group.
