Walter's wife was laid off from her position in Chicago, needed a job. She found one in a different Midwestern city: Omaha. She doesn't seem to have any complaints about Omaha, except for the thing where she has next to no cell phone service. This still isn't enough to get her out of her contract with T-Mobile, and she's on the hook for her entire early termination fee, plus her whole non-prorated last month of service. More »

Cameron moved recently, but not all that far away. Just to another apartment within the same building. Not so bad. He's been an AT&T DSL customer for six years, but the Death Star wants to wean customers off DSL and get them onto U-Verse. Cameron was told that he couldn't be reconnected to DSL down the hall, so he upgraded to U-Verse. Only the upgrade is more of a downgrade. To lower Internet speeds and static on the phone line.

By Mary Beth Quirk on May 3, 2012 12:00 PM
105 Comments
Is there some kind of anti-iPhone conspiracy going on at Verizon Wireless stores? Some customers think so, but perhaps it's just a matter of 4G versus 3G. After all, there is no 4G-compatible iPhone for Verizon, and many customers want the fastest, newest technology.
