you really don't have good luck on the phone do you?  :P

I love it when people come up with "Lishitusayhu" in the forums.

but they usually give me credit for that 1 day. Of course, YMMV.
FWIU they are required to by law. Just wait until the Courts make RIM pay up for their outage

http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/26/rim-gets-sued-agai/

Thanks!

I read TechCrunch regularly, and didn't notice it. Thanks (in particular) for the second link, the other two make it seem like a Canadian suit which wouldn't affect us US customers.

Or, just ask them to put you on their do-not-call list.

If you don't call them they will never stop. I haven't heard of any major company that yields to such annoying advertising methods.

I guess the law allows them 30 days. It's only because of the law that they remove you at all.

What kind of speeds do I need to get if my main online usage is just simple browsing and watching streaming sports games? The two verizon packages I see are for .5 - 1 Mbps or for an extra $15 per month they have 3.1 - 7 Mbps

Oh, this isn't FIOS you are looking at correct? A range of .5 to 1mbps is far too slow IMHO, I would take the 3.7 to 7mbps plan.
