Verizon Updates Device Upgrade Eligibility Practices
Oh please...
"Verizon says this is to better help people understand when they are eligible for new device discounts."
Honestly ... what an absolutely gigantic load of crap.
Let me fix that:
Verizon says this is to better help people pay us for an extra four months to subsidize the same crappy phone.
I really wish Verizon didn't have the best signal where I live.
Customers: This is ridiculous! Verizon has just went too far! I am going to cancel my contract and look at other carriers!
ATT: Interesting! Why did we not think of that first? Let us do the same thing, except change one minor detail, to show that we are unique...

I can count the number of dropped calls i've had on T-Mobile on my fingers in the years i've had them, and their HSPA+ data is consistently faster than my Verizon LTE (provided) work phone (not to mention in Phoenix, i drop way more calls on Verizon than on T-Mobile!)
