WIFI from my Cable modem at my house ... usually shows my 80 - 130Mbps. It's on 130 quite often when I check it.

Well... that's how fast my computer tells me it is... I'm not enough of a computer guru to confirm nor deny it.

LOL. I'm sorry but I work in IT and this literally made me LOL.

Hi everyone!

I am Ben's better half. I just wanted to say that I both love your group and hate it at the same time. I hope you can understand that!

I'm glad that he found a group of people as crazy as he is, because lord knows I can't handle it. All he does is live on this site, and I need him to be a real, live human husband again.

So I beg you guys to please kick him out of here (read: ban) as soon as this phone is on sale okay? Thursday, right?

I swear I could be seeing a ship captain on the sly and he wouldn't notice!

Okay guys and dolls, I've said my piece. His sister and myself very much can't wait til the Nexus comes out, and we are iPhone girls.

Bye!

Thanks for letting us 'borrow' him for a while. Kudos to you if he is this mood swingy at home!

Side note - I can NOT believe on a site of nerds and geeks that the name PrincessLeia was not taken ??? !!!

I have been lurking since about 50000 post planning on replacing my HTC Desire. Unfortunately Verizon waited to long for me. My 3 month old son got put on a $500 a month formula which drained my nexus fund.

That's terrible...my son was on Nutramigen, I knew if that didn't work for him it would have been elecare or neocate...i'm sure you already checked but make sure your insurance doesn't cover it and make sure your state doesn't mandate coverage.

Good luck

Ah, bummer. Turns out the Face Unlock can be done with a picture of you as well as with your actual face. I hadn't heard that before. I don't really expect anyone to steal my phone, but it's just kinda crappy that anyone can get in my phone if I enable that.

Unless I'm mistaken, you're looking at a report of the theoretical speed of your WiFi connection. You wouldn't be able to achieve this speed in actual use unless you were transferring data around your house, and even then you'd need luck on your side.

To see the speed of your Internet connection (which is what practically matters in this case), try directing your browser to speedtest.net!

Ha! Ha! You are not the only significant other on here that feels the same way - trust me. My wife feels the same way. The madness will end eventually - stay strong

EDIT: I was with you til you said "iPhone"

She's now on the phone with my sister laughing hysterically and telling her that she said to ban me.

I wanted her to do a metal bikini for her avatar, maybe next time.

So last week I called off my quest for a Nexus. However, the $100 promotion may have made me change my mind.

So while I was on the phone with a very helpful CSR (April) regarding an unrelated issue, I asked her about the 3G to 4G promotional mailer that my friend received and asked her if I was eligible. Within a few minutes she said "Yes, by the looks of it you are eligible as long as you have an upgrade on the account. And you do... Is there any device you might be interested in?"

I replied. "Well, I was hoping to wait for the Galaxy Nexus..."

She laughed and said "Yeah you're actually the second person in a row that I've talked to about that phone. It seems like everyone is waiting for that one! We don't even know when it will come out! I guess we will know when you know..."

I then asked if the $100 promotion will show up on my account when I upgrade and she said that she will note what we talked about so that all the info will show up. She explained it to me that I will have to mail in my 3G phone when I upgrade and once Verizon receives it they will mail me a $100 debit card.

Similar experience today. Only he said I had to mail the upc from the box of the new phone in order to get the rebate visa debit card. Only reason he couldn't simply credit my account is because I recently assumed liability from a 4 year old account which makes it simply show up in the system as "under 6 months old" even though it's about 5 years old. If you have an older account they may just be able to credit you.

Just be polite and keep calling till you get someone who knows what you are asking for. Good luck.

Now how do I get my wife's upgrade pushed up from Jan 12th to this Friday?

I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I think she means that's what her wireless NIC says she's connected at.

If you want to know how much bandwidth you have you HAVE to use a speed test site (or decipher your bill). Here are a couple:

www.speedtest.net
www.speakeasy.net/speedtest

AWESOME!!!! MOST THANKED SINGLE POST MEMBER EVER!!!!! And she'll probably never post again since she is an iGirl.

What are the chances the gnex sells out on launch day? How much stock do you think is out there? It makes me nervous with the amount of posters/lurkers on this forum.

Completely understand! I think my husband would agree with you that this forum has taken over many marriages! Glad you stopped by! We will try to do better.
