GT's VERIZON WIRELESS CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!
THE COMPANY MIS-REPRESENTED THE SERVICE, KNOWING FULL WELL, THAT THEY HAVE HAD OVER 30 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WEAK SIGNAL STRENGTH IN THIS AREA ONLY 25 MILES FROM A MAJOR CITY IN IDAHO, AND AN EVEN LARGER CITY, SPOKANE, IN WASHINGTON JUST 30 MILES AWAY WERE THEIR SERVERS ARE LOCATED FOR THIS AREA.

THE TECH HELP PEOPLE, AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE AT VERIZON ARE NOTHING BUT APOLOGIZING, DO NOTHING, ROBOTS.

THEY CARE NOTHING ABOUT THE CUSTOMER BUT SIGNING THEM UP FOR THEIR OVER PRICED SERVICES WHICH DON'T MEET EVEN THE LOWEST OF EXPECTATIONS.

THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE US IN THIS KNOWN PROBLEM AREA THE SAME HIGH RATE AS THOSE IN THE MORE POPULATED, AND THUS MORE PROFITABLE FOR VERIZON, AREAS.

UNFORTUNATELY FOR NOW, I AM STUCK WITH THIS SERVICE AS EVEN A SATELLITE SERVICE HAS USAGE LIMITS THAT I WOULD EXCEED. I MAY EVEN EXCEED VERIZON'S LIMITS OF 5 GIGS AT THE USAGE RATE I AM SEEING IN JUST A FEW HOURS OF USING IT.

POSTING ANYTHING EVEN SLIGHTLY GRAPHICAL, LIKE MY CHARTS, TAKES FOREVER AND CONSUMES FAR TOO MUCH OF MY ALLOTED USAGE QUOTA SO I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO POST MUCH OF ANYTHING CHART WISE. I WILL HAVE TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS TO SEE WHAT MY USAGE AMOUNTS WILL BE.

AVOID VERIZON AT ALL COSTS.
