LTE Markets/Rollout Official Discussion

I am totally relaxed and have no problems at all. It's Andy84094 who couldn't handle someone making a comment on the subject and might need an aspirin. LOL

Excedrine. Works every time...even Sunday morning!

Was there a 4g outage today? I know my signal has been shotty but I wrote that off to being in a concrete house in the middle of nowhere.

shoddy, not shotty.

Unless someone took a shotty to a nearby cell site. Then your service would be shoddy due to damage from the shotty. :P

I don't usually play the roll of grammar nazi, but this particular one drives me nuts. I've seen it too many times, and even given the humorous connotation of the incorrect word, it's ceased being funny.

I saw somebody spell good "gud" today on a forum, I mean really, gud? Grammar and spelling are an endangered species on the web.

If all you do is search forums for spelling errors (not a grammatical error), its not worth the fight. I made a simple mistake, but that is nothing compared to what else is out there on the internet...."Gud" is a perfect example. Fortunately most applications have spell checker...clearly my phone didn't pick that one up.

On topic now: I see Verizon keeps announcing expansion in MA, 4 cities in the past week. If I'm not mistaken they are part of the Boston metro.

Oh, I fully understand and commiserate!

It's not worth the fight for either spelling or grammar. That's why I pass opportunities all of the time to make corrections.

Your spell checker may have not located the error because it might recognize some slang as valid words. Try checking Urban Dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shotty

making fun of somebody that might have a learning disability and can't spell is not cool and is classless

maybe he targetted the I, missed, and hit the O... standard, everyday typo

Correcting someone's grammar is making fun of them? Sounds like a Democrat's logic to me. Wow.

EDIT: And yes, THAT would be considered making fun of democrats.

When did they start seeing it? looks like they might be on the edge of the expansion from March, or maybe verizon is expanding more in nj for april or may. Either way it sounds interesting. As the most densely populated state, I'm amazed that NJ has so little 4g coverage.

Not sure of the exact day, but it was in the last week ... There wasn't coverage 7 days ago, but there is today.

And, agreed -- not only is NJ densely populated (lots of customers), it's also verizon (the landline company) home turf (easy provisioning of metro gig-e?), and very close to a major internet peering hub (north jersey, nyc) ... Seems like it should be a no-brainer ...
