AT&T THROTTLE

2012-02-10T01:10:41Z

PLEASE READ! FOUND BIG FLAW IN AT&T's throttle plan.
1. On 2/7/2012 last day of billing cycle I was at 1.8gb of data.
During the day I (on purpose) used 200+mb of data to see when the throttle would kick in, never got msg or throttle.
2. On 2/8/2012 5AM got msg that I was in the TOP 5% and would be throttled. I did not worry since it was the first day of new billing cycle and usage was 0.0 for the month.
3. On 2/9/2012 I was throttled when usage for the month was at 17.5 MB.
4. Called AT&T and told them they were liars. That I should have never been throttled since the new billing cycle was supposed to reset everything. That is in their written release!
5. Took them over an hour to figure out how to even UN-Throttle me since they admit a flaw in the system. The CS rep basically stated that the msg should have gone to me on the 7th when I reached 2 GB (Notice Not Top 5%... 2 GB), but we all know this is data is billed at night, which is why I did my test. They did restore my speed after 1 hour and gave me a credit.

She said that I was the first person that has called that she knows of that had this happen to them! I FOUND A FLAW! I am glad my test worked.

They are liars, cheats and don't even test their own system! I am done with the throttle thing since I never use more than 1.5 gig a month. Well until they make the cap 1GB, then I am screwed!

Keep treating your loyal customers this way AT&T... Nice job!

When you have been beat up for so long is it possible to change you attitude? If so, how?

2011 Chicago Marathon

2011-10-12T18:47:08Z

Well it's been over a week and I can finally come to grips of what went happened to me on Race Day. The day started off great. We got downtown in plenty of time and got in the 10 min startl just fine. At 7:41 my race started. I was hoping to not get out of the gates too fast. My first mile was 10 min and some change. Too fast! I managed to slow the pace by mile 7 and was very happy. I ran 8 miles and was feeling great. Then I got hurt! I took a wrong step and hit a pothole with my right leg. It was like walking off a curb when you don't see it. My knee cap popped, but I did not think it was too bad so I ran another 2 miles. That entire time my right knee cap was clicking with every step. I did a run walk until about 14 miles and then the knee told me it was time to call it. I did not come this far and spend my entire summer running to not finish this damn thing!

Long story short I walked the rest and finished!

Look out 2012 I am coming for you!

Tomorrow

Here we are. Tomorrow is the day! 26.2 miles here we come!

I am very uptight today and have a short fuse, wish that was not the case, but that is just the person I am. When I have something on my mind I get quiet and short.

We went and picked up my bib yesterday and it was nice, but really was getting in my head the magnitude of this run. The Bank Of America had a video running and my wife (LOVE HER) stopped and said “Let’s Watch This”.

Check it out and see why #19114 is a bit freaked out!

Longest week ever!

Come on already!! This week is just dragging. The worst thing is that I will not run for the next 3 days, at least that might have taken my mind off the dragging days.

I must admit that I am getting nervous. My mind is playing games with me. One minute I am ready to go and the next I am thinking about what I am doing and how crazy it is. I just need to get to that starting line and the see the finish line. It's just 5 hours, right?

Ready?

So my marathon training is complete! Did my last 4 miles today. Am I happy with my training, yes. Did I under train, a bit. Am I ready? I guess I have to be!

3 days away!

Did my last 6 mile run today before the big marathon on Sunday! It was just another beautiful day out today. I really hope the weather holds for Sunday. Right now Skilling is saying cloudy and 78, hope he is wrong on the 78 part. I only have a 4 mile run on Wed and then it's a little rest. It's been a long summer of running, I am so glad my wife put up with me on the weekends of the long runs. Can't wait to spend a weekend with her and the kids where running is not on my mind.

Tik tok... Come on Sunday!

2 to go

Wow what a run today! What a nice day! Can it please be this nice next week?

I did my last 10 mile run today and it rocked. I did 10:27 at a 9:42 pace, if I can do that thru 15 next week I will be in great shape.

Only a 6 and a 4 this week.

Hope all that are running next week have great runs today!
