Verizon BroadBand Access

Verizon BroadBand Access users beware: unlimited bandwidth does not

mean unlimited bandwidth! My account was unceremoniously terminated

this morning after my usage exceeded 10 gigabytes during a 30 day

period. Verizon determined that this bandwidth "could only have been

attained by activities such as streaming or downloading movies and/or

video", which is a violation of the usage agreement. Actually, I

explained that I generated this traffic by using Timbuktu, a remote

desktop application which lets me virtually sit at my office

computer. They refused to acknowledge this as being legitimate

usage. Verizon doesn't seem to care how you use the bandwidth -

they just don't want you using it!

final words:

>unlimited does not mean unlimited.

>Verizon has a nasty, preemptive way of getting rid of customers who

they deem are using too much bandwidth by blindly accusing them of

violating their agreements.

You also don't get a whole lot of warning. I received my letter

indicating termination on the 22 on the 19th!

Caveat Emptor!
