Just wondering if anyone else here is having issues with Verizon Wireless and service in the last few weeks.
Last week, there was some press about a fire department in California having issues with their Verizon Wireless phones not working. The department had an unlimited plan and discovered that Verizon "throttles" their data usage when it exceeds a certain amount each month. That's the allegation at least.

Turns out that we were on vaca the last two weeks in Maine and Vermont. Because our data usage had been increasing due to travel, we, too, purchased the "unlimited" data plan. During the last two weeks or so my phone will just drop service in areas where there are plenty of towers. My phone literally stops and says "No Service" for about ten minutes and then may come back on. It happens when I am trying to engage the web browser or send a text.
The article suggests that Verizon "throttles" users who exceed 25 GB data a month...which would be us. I am wondering if that is going on. It happened in Vermont and now back in Utah. Just barely my wife called me and I could not call her back because I had "no service."
Anyone else having this issue?
