I got terminated by their service because I downloaded Vista Beta (silly me). I did not have to pay the early termination fee. I'd be surprised if Verizon could get away with it, but it doesn't surprise me that they would try.
I've switched to Sprint, which doesn't have the same draconian TOS but lacks the same throughput that Verizon has (or had as the case may be). EVDO pales in comparison from a price/performance perspective to 802.11b or g, but it's really the only option in my particular location.

I just terminated my Verizon EVDO service since it was very unreliable bandwidth-wise and they had me on the $80 a month deal, I'm sticking to starbucks/tmobile hotspot service pay as you go, which has been a much better deal in the USA ( not so much elsewhere ). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SOCALWUG" group.
