So just last weekend, just before Verizon decides to screw over new customers with bandwidth caps, I give AT&T the finger and get the Verizon iPhone. A deal I’ve waited too long to go through with. Not that I have anything against AT&T, their service just sucks. Internet doesn’t work (at reasonable speeds if at all) at my office in the center of Charlotte. I get so many dropped calls (average every 5 minutes) it’s unreliable for business use. Most of all I travel a lot, and I don’t get signal. Off some river in Boone, my friend who still has AT&T iPhone 4, had no signal, I had 2 bars. Awesome.
I’ve been a Verizon customer for longer than I can remember, gone through a slew of “Smart” phones with them and eventually dropped them for the iPhone 4. Then a year later, I happy dump AT&T like the rebound bitch it is and go back to my true love, Verizon. Guess what the bonus here was? Unlimited bandwidth, text and a measly 450 minute plan (I talk maybe 90 minutes a month) for $90, without my Corporate discount… I had a 24% discount with AT&T with a 2-gig bandwidth cap 1400 talk minutes I never used at $107 a month… R-I-P O-F-F. As a bonus for paying more, bandwidth barely worked and they’d drop my calls randomly. You know, cause I talk way too much on he phone.
But, AT&T has had IOS 4.3 forever now, what since April? Where is this IOS update for Verizon? Is it held up on purposed to make the switch more painful to iPhone users? So I can’t restore my settings, pictures, texts to my reliable new phone and service? I hated AT&T as it was, do I have to hate them more for for having an IOS update far sooner than Verizon?
Regardless of how it’s seen. AT&T is the unreliable Borderline Personality Disorder girlfriend that randomly hangs up on you then calls back to tell you awesome news and Verizon is the ok looking girlfriend you want to keep forever because she treats you well and is reliable.
Regardless of this ordeal, I want my IOS 4.3 update so I can have faster Java script, restore my settings and stuff. Because you know, now that I’m on Verizon, I can actually use the internet on my phone again. Even though I can’t talk and browse, which i never bothered to do anyway.
