[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, I will go with that. There is no doubt that Verizon is "The Cadillac" of cellphone providers. But like you said, they know it, they are expensive as hell, and you ain't getting it w/out paying a lot of money. Comcast is doing/trying to do the same thing, and like Verizon, their billing department is ruthless and heartless. But, Verizon draws the line at unethical. Comcast, unfortunately, does not.

I really miss that super high speed internet for moving very large files up and down, but my cable internet would go bad, on average, 5 days a month I could not use it. Offline, back again, whoops, off again, back on. They could never fix it because either it worked when the tech got here or worked when he left. But the issue never went away and I could not get credit for it other than from report of incident to time tech left house. I agreed to pay the $120 a month with Comcast, and like Verizon, there are taxes same price I paid at Verizon, but Comcast was always $10 higher, then they shut me off, pay $229 to turn it back on, still owe them another $230, and here is a $50 reconnect fee for next month.

They did this every single month for 5 months in a row!

The 5th time, I freaked, called AT&T, and sent their stuff back UPS.

First time, okay my fault I guess, I paid late. But they could adjust the due date, they just never would. My money comes on the 11th, Comcast gives me an extension to the 9th, insuring I get cut off again, I give them "the electric bill money" to turn it back on, and a $50 reconnect fee to go with it. 2nd time I was getting angry, I talked to these people, how do you fix "not enough money on time" by adding penalty fees to it? 3rd time downright scared, I am now taking loans just to pay bills. 4th time freaking out, NOT AGAIN! ...no way out. 5th time, GO TO HELL COMCAST! And a 12 days later, they had a "fake repair guy" knocking on my door. I would not answer. He left a ticket for "service" "reconnect cable outside home". Nonsense, they already cut me off by computer billing. I got phone calls and text messages at the same time saying this is Comcast, please call me back right away. Can you imagine? They wanted to "strongarm me" out of money (At my own front door!) or at least get my signature on a fake repair ticket so they could extend billing for it. Yeah right. Their bill now goes on the pile that get paid if an when I *ever* get extra money to hand out. I do not care, I already own my own home, I do not need the stellar credit report.

Verizon, as expensive as they may be, never did anything like this.

...uh, can you tell that I am like, "really pissed" at Comcast? I heard this on the radio, NPR: They are fighting every bit of legislation being setup for wireless, internet, anything telecom because the internet always got a free ride for growth. Out West in rural areas, the residents cannot get service because the homes are miles apart. Comcast is not spending the money to send wires out into the stick for rural residents unless each one wants to pay 11 Grand or more for the poles and wires that they will own. So the local township paid for the internet and setup a long range wireless network to serve these citizens. Surprise, Comcast, AT&T, and everyone else with wires and fibers are fighting it all the way to the Supreme Court. They won't provide access so no one can. Can you believe this??

I really miss that multi tens of megabits download speed. Verizon could provide it but that would be yet another bill that I just cannot do right now. Besides, I can tether and hotspot anytime I need that speed and it costs me nothing extra. Ahhh the benefits of having a Razr phone with CM11, rooted and rommed! :D

There is not a lot of tech stuff to talk about for CM11 right now. The Help Desk is always open. But we can see how each of us is doing with plans, updates, and billing. That is good to know!

POLL QUESTION:

Would you ever take a phone upgrade if it were cheap but you had to give up root and romming, assuming forever? (i.e.: Turbo, etc. "Forever" means as long as you keep or must keep the new phone.)

My answer: NO Your answer please?
