That 84% of the people that cancelled their land lines where verizonwireless subscribers. Why so many verizon customers cancelling their landlines?

no big surprise there

The reason is rather simple, Verizon wireless customers have such great service, they know longer need landline. I have the motoe815 and recently got rid of my landlind, who needs it with verizon

You really really really love that phone.

My friend had Verizon. He threw his phone out the window of his truck. He's with Cingular now.

I guess if Vzw was so bad then 84% wouldn't cancel their home phone. If your friend really hates Vzw so bad why not just sell the phone on Ebay and make a couple bucks instead of destroying it...must not be working with all of his brain cells

Only someone without brain cells would've bought that model off ebay. It should've gone in the trash, but he threw it in the street.

I read a survey once that said 100% of surveys can't be taken as fact.

I guess when I purchase something I just don't see the sense in destroying it no matter how old it may be! There is still probably some value left in it! Donate it to a womens shelter of to Vzw where they donate them to victims of Domestic violence. It just shows me that your friend was probably spoiled growing up and never learned the value of a dollar.

His parents are dirt a$$ poor, and they come to him for money. They whine and complain about everything and expect everyone else to do things for them. He, on the other hand, has every single bill on file for the past six years, separated by the year and the month. He has near perfect credit (700s) and has had a steady job since he was 16 (nine years ago).

That phone was a piece of crap that wouldn't even stay powered on. If it's not on, it wont dial 911. As a sales rep, I know there are POS models which I stop selling once I find out. This one was, across all carriers, a POS.

Because they don't use their landline for DSL? I really don't have any friends with a landline who don't only use it for DSL. We couldn't even tell you our home numbers if you asked for it.

It wasn't new, it wasn't an e815 either. It was the T720 ish series that sucked on everyone network. I was just pointing out that you really really really do love that phone, since I think you've said so about 14 million times. That's by no means a bad thing, it shows you're not full of BS.

Some people still have DSL, others have cable modems... despite all the hype they throw at each other, they're about the same speeds.

3mbps down/768k up for me.

And the best part is, I'm usually running a faster speed than my friend next door with cable, because my DSL speeds don't get diluted by traffic. 😁

that's what i'm "provisioned" for, but with distance from the CO and such, i was reporting my ACTUAL speeds. i actualy get faster speeds than i was getting with cable as well. albeit only 100k faster but still, the latency is gone. 😎
