Just get on with the program. As @aygart pointed out, what are you going to do when you travel outside of Lakewood?

3G service outside of Lakewood is still pretty good, and it is definitely good enough for occasional use. Everyone will get to the program, but why rush and shell out money now just because Verizon doesn't want to fix the towers. Why can't I continue to use my 3G phone until it breaks?

I know it's not exactly comparable, but imagine if Apple stopped supplying service to an iPhone when the next model came out. "Get with the program, iPhone 7 users. It's now time for iPhone X." (Oh, did I just get myself into trouble for giving an example that is too extreme...)

It is very simple. The whole thing is for a year. VZW profits off people buying the new 4g phones and has little downside. Towers outside Lakewood will break over time as well. Why WOULD they fix them.

Supposedly in Monroe, they convinced Verizon to fix/replace the 3g tower.. although the percentage of 3g vs 4g users is possibly different there

What an interesting narrative. How convenient it is to leave out half the petition text.

my feelings side with Verizon while I have a Verizon 3G flip phone and drop calls very often I believe they should invest in upgrading the infrastructure, you don't go to EY with boats time to move on, you can have 5G kosher phones, the only point against Verizon is why should I buy a new cell because you decided to move on, well these 3G devices are outdated and 4G is being marketed for a nice couple of years.

I don't see why there would be a difference between a married guy or single guy, besides if the owner feels bad for him.
I'd say 15 for a no experience or no brain job, 18(+) for experienced person who knows what he's doing.
I'm not who you think I am.

There's no lack of kids in Lakewood for these jobs, people usually would hire a married guy just because they expect him to be more reliable, dependable and trustworthy. So chances are he'll be getting hired for a "higher paying" job.

If they are looking for a warehouse manager, going rates can be starting 40k and going up to 75k for 0-3 years experience. Then it can get higher based on size of the operation and experience

None wants a "kid" to make sure 25 umpalumpas are doing their jobs, getting orders out on time, and not stealing half the inventory and the time.

Verizon profits more off people remaining loyal to Verizon, not switching to Sprint and AT&T, like many in Lakewood have recently done. The only reason I have Verizon is because their coverage is better, but their coverage is now terrible.. I'm considering switching
