Help Data real slow on Bionic the last few days?

[sean76]

In NYC, and my Bionics data has been really really slow the last few days. Also dropping 4G alot, and 3G is pretty much useless. Is vzw doing the unthinkable and slowing data down?

Mine was extremely slow yesterday. Made me wonder what was going on.

I have been dropping 3G connection quite often over the last few days in Connecticut. I was hoping it was them maybe upgrading the network or something of that nature.

Even slower tonight...I think they are definitely throttling data speeds...

Call VZW to inquire.

My 4G has been dropping alot lately and staying on 3G until I reboot the phone, then 4G comes back on?.jeeeez...WTF Vzw.

Carriers are shady. They probably do throttle speeds.

That's a bit conspiratorial, don't you think?

Cell phone use continues to explode exponentially.
Networks continue to be stressed as users are added faster than the networks can be expanded.

Of course, maybe it could be that those filthy Capitalists really ARE out to get us, and all those Wall Street protest losers are using their Capitalist provided cell phones to spread the word about corporate greed.

I've. Had that problem alot too where 4g drops and so does 3g. But yesterday for over a half hour I had no data. I rebooted and took out the battery and still no data. I got worried. But a few minutes later it was back. What the he'll vrz. You pay this kind of money you should expect a perfectly working system. NO WE DON'T HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE MAKING CHANGES. GET IT RIGHT!!!!!!!!

I agree, connectivity on data has been the worst I've seen on any phone. Often it's dead for minutes in the middle of LA and I've had verizon smartphones for almost ten years.
