    Yeah I'm on a grandfathered unlimited plan and thought you meant the same when you said you were unlimited everything on vz.

    Verizon's plan. I'm on the unlimited data plan with them and its $30 a month. So if you use 5 to 10 gigs a month, I was curious how it would save you money if you're on the same unlimited data plan that I'm on.

    Charter doesn't have caps and has advertised that. Caps are just another bullshit way to generate revenue while killing streaming competition.

    The hdhomerun app is from silicondust, they make over the air tuners and cable card tuners. The hdhomerun app I think is $1.99 from the play store but it will only work with the silicondust tuners.

    My last phone I kept for 4 years, original nexus. I just got the nexus 6 and will probably keep that at least 4 years. I just used the a subsidized upgrade through bestbuy.com to keep my unlimited data plan. So all this means is I'll probably have to pay full price for a phone to keep the...

    Pretty much. With the reclassification of broadband by the FCC to 25mbps or greater, a merger of Comcast and Time Warner would have given control of more than 80% of the nations broadband, which is one reason the FCC was against the Comcast/TWC merger. Some good news for TWC customers, Charter...

    I just did the bestbuy method to use my upgrade to get a nexus 6. Took the sim card out of my old original nexus and put in the nexus 6. Kept the unlimited data on my account. I did have to cut the sim card down so it would fit in the nexus 6. I had wanted to transfer my upgrade to a basic...

    I agree with this, my wife has convinced herself several times that our son has this or that from googling. There were times I just wanted to turn off the router. She's gotten better though.

    Looks like Person of Interest is being held until midseason. Unless the show they put in it time slot, Limitless, tanks, then it will probably be back sooner. The head of CBs programming has said they haven't decided if season 5 will be its last.

    According to the thread on slickdeals it still works. As long as you don't turn the phone on with the sim card it shipped with, you should be fine. I'll let you know if you works or not.

    I'm glad its coming back for a 5th season. Its a 13 episode season, so guessing it will be its last unless ratings really pick up. But really I almost prefer the shorter 13 episode seasons, less filler and the writing is tighter in shows that do that.

    I'm getting ready to order the nexus 6 using the bestbuy method to keep my unlimited data plan. The way I figure it, if I can get a subsidized phone and keep my unlimited data, I will. Screw verizon. Why pay more for less?
