  1. Having the same problems up here north of Allentown PA. Most definitely it's backhaul related, but enough is enough already! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  2. It's only if they are in the top 5% of users on a certain tower. And only if it is congested. Post the whole story not just parts! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  3. Can't wait for that to make its way to the rest of the Lehigh Valley! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  4. Verizon also offers bundles with DSL and POTS plus Directv, too. Why do all these ginormous companies want to continue becoming more ginormous?! It sickens me.
  5. People with no landline broadband available, like myself! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  6. Wow, I'm really surprised by all these posts. I had no idea other parts of the country had such faster internet speeds. Here in the Lehigh Valley, PA, the two major cable providers are Service Electric and RCN. RCN offers three speeds, 25, 50, and 75 down. And Service Electric has a variety of options topping out maybe at 20 Mbps. The average cable package from SECTV comes with 7 mbps. Other parts of the Valley have Blue Ridge Cable, and they have 1.5, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 50 Mbps. Most people that have DSL top out at 3 Mbps from Verizon. And a small section of the city of Allentown can get Fios. I guess we're still behind the times! Especially since I can't get cable or DSL in my house. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  7. They should make ads like ATT has done, amusing interactions with crews doing upgrades. That's a quick way to explain why service is poor in some areas undergoing upgrades without having to get too technical as to why Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  8. I really wish there was a way to show a "timeline" type thing on the desktop site, much like on Tapatalk. I find I use Tapatalk so much that when I log on to the site on my PC, I don't even know where to begin because you can't see the most recent post, just which thread was updated. Most of the time, I would never even think to check a particular thread because I don't know what's being discussed there. Is there a way to do this that perhaps I am overlooking?? "View New Content" only shows the threads, but you can't see what's in them.
  9. That's really interesting. Sometimes my dialer codes work. Other times they don't. I was having a problem getting voicemail in the app. But it was only sometimes. Seems to be working correctly lately, but I wasn't able to use a dialer code correctly this morning. Is there a change log between .3 and .4? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  10. I'm still having intermittent trouble with dialer codes and voicemail notifications. Did anyone download the .4 RUU and find these things fixed? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  11. Flo from Progressive has a Facebook page, which I find a really interesting concept. Speaking of Geico , has anyone seen the new commercial for M&M's with the Geico gecko and camel??? Another interesting concept! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  12. Just wanted to say great job on the wealth of info here! It doesn't appear to be Tapatalk friendly...but then again, what actually is these days anyway! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  13. All I have to say is, "Hey Mike, guess what day it is?" Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  14. I think I've experienced two HD voice calls now in New Tripoli PA (near Allentown)...both of us have EVO LTEs and it sounded amazing! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  15. In addition to my I35, I also had: i830 (still my favorite phone ever! Had the bronze one) ic502 ic602 (yes, because one PowerSource phone wasn't bad enough) Samsung Rant HTC EVO Shift 4G HTC EVO 4G LTE (right now) Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  16. I'm pretty sure I just got off an HD voice phone call - never heard a call that clear! Both of us have HTC EVO LTE's. In New Tripoli (Lehigh County)
  17. I remember thinking I was so cool when I showed up with this beauty in 2004 to start my senior year of high school.... Until I found out it a.) Didn't work inside the building and b.) Couldn't send texts since we had no plan... Life was so simple back then! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  18. Yup Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  19. 4.13.651.3 Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  20. For the record I have my phone on vibrate and my text just vibrated! And it doesn't when the sound is on. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  21. This. Although I feel like sometimes it works. Also, LOL at the Optimus S. My sister had that phone. Cheapest POS ever! Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  22. Happy Birthday! Take the day off and go indulge in some B41 somewhere!
  23. If NV is so prevalent there and so far along, shouldn't 3G be "good enough" for things like navigation, anyway?
  24. I always notice things like that on TV shows ... They use incredibly fake-looking screens on phones to show texts or calls, etc. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk
  25. Blue Ridge Communications stops cable 1/2 mile down my road here in PA. There is actually a set of telephone poles it could follow to get to my house, with maybe 2 they would need to install. I filled out a petition and got my 10 neighbors to sign it. They quoted us with $26k to get us cable - they wanted to put up their own poles! Said if they used the ones that were there (which carry telephone and power!) it would be a "waste" - even though that would include 2 additional homes. We're using a Mifi 500 on 3G until Verizon puts in a DSLAM for us - which is supposed to happen by 10/25/14 (according to PA state law.)
