[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1524803, member: 20599"] Some of your assumptions may be a bit off, vett. In this instance, the firefighters (in the middle of the emergency) went along with Verizon's demands to pay more than twice as much to get their data unthrottled; even then, Verizon did not promptly unthrottle. They also admitted that they failed to properly advise the county about their throttling policy.
