Every streaming app I have will be ran constantly! I hate Verizon, I can't wait until another provider comes along with the same services, Im going to drop them! I use that in a day or so and now due to this I will be using as much data as possible. So this is why I use FoxFi! Unlimited is exactly what it says, unlimited, so why punish users for a service that you sold to them? How are we jersk? We paid for unlimited, you sound a little upset you only can use 1gb per month. I've even offered to pay whatever the cost is to get high speed they always say they will give me a call back and no one ever does.
Msims1985 spfan99Well unfortunately I don't have the ability to use wifi as Verizon is the sole high speed internet provider in my area, my neighbors have it and for some unexplainable reason Verizon will not allow me to purchase high speed so I've been using my cell phone for wifi as I do work from home and need high speed. Fact is if you're required to pay for a service and you are using a hack to not pay that is FRAUD and Verizon has a right to stop it. The FCC already OKed Verizon still charging for tethering on old Nationwide plans. All of which impacts customers far more than just leaving users alone in these specific cases.
It'll mean money lost in legal fees for Verizon (for the short term - the investors will moan), the 700c license being taken away (super super expensive mistake for Verizon), or fines (money lost). This will be one of several incidents Verizon has run across which involves their 700c block directly or indirectly. If proof of Verizon involvement for this issue, notify the FCC. Verizon can also boot off the extremely heavy users (think similar to T-Mobile's 2TB/m users) no matter the spectrum being used. Verizon can do whatever they wish to do including block unauthorized tethering for any phone connected to the AWS, PCS, or 3G spectrum, as that spectrum does not abide by any of these rules. Verizon also cannot throttle such activity. If a customer is on 700c and wants to tether, the spectrum license rules they cannot impede a user's desire to do so, so long as they're not doing things like torrenting illegal content or intentionally trying to degrade the network. Verizon can moan and pout all the want, in addition to waiving the ToS. If Verizon can be proven to be at fault here, I'm happy to re-open the case with the FCC regarding Verizon's 700c spectrum.
Likely this has something to do with Google's and Verizon's past involvement back in 2012, and Google's Play Services software update on the 19th has something to do with this since it brought a number of API updates. Some of the handsets being reported as "not working" haven't seen software updates in several months. I suspect something a bit more than just a software update is amiss. There are some users reporting that Tethering requires changes to the underlying software on the new Nexus phones in order to work.
