Verizon's BroadbandAccess and Mac OS X
Authored by: trystero on May 22, '06 12:02:36PM

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!
