Quote HistoryQuoted:  That's like asking a jinn to make you the ruler of the universe without understanding how large the universe is.If your handheld device could actually receive that much information in a month, you'd likely be dead in a week from the RF radiation you were absorbing. (Very rough guesstimate by a Liberal Arts major.)   Just because you have the connection speed to do it doesn't mean you are going to fully utilize it, I likely would use more data than I am but would self limit long before I was harmed by the rf. (My arms can only go for so long and need some time between sessions) |

Looks like Verizon's programmers really should have a check on that data value to throw an error if it is excessively out of bounds.
If you saturated a 1GbE connection at 100% continuously for 30 days, you would move 324,000GB of data. So basically, somewhere in their system, they should have a check that says "If (value of data used) is greater than 350,000 (just being generous here), throw a flag and figure out what's going on, because it simply isn't possible for the average consumer cell-connected device to move that much data in a month". This whole thing is the real-life example of this programmer joke... A software QA engineer walks into a bar, and orders a beer. 2 beers. 0 beers. 999999 beers. A lizard. -1 beers. zlkflksflli beers. The first real customer walks into the bar and asks where the bathroom is. The bar explodes, killing everyone. |

They probably tried to correct an overstated usage amount and subtracted too much and had and underflow on an unsigned eight byte (sixty four bit) integer. Their software apparently didnt check for underflows. Lol.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Congratulations OP. You have run out of numbers. Or really, Verizon has run of out numbers. Just a guess... Looks like Verizon is using signed 64-bit integers here, and the largest number that you can express as a signed 64-bit integer (using 'two's complement') is (2^63)-1, which is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, or 0111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 in binary. I'm betting that the number shown there is the "number of megabytes divided by 1,000" to equal gigabytes (as was previously posted), and then they rounded from 9,223,372,036,854,775.807 to 9,223,372,036,854,776.0 Somewhere in Verizon's systems, your usage was likely overwritten by a bunch of 1's (63 of them, to be precise), which the system then interpreted as a signed 64-bit integer, and then divided by 1,000 to turn it into "gigabytes of usage". And then, their programmers forgot to have a use case of "it is physically impossible to use this much data" for showing data usage, and for cutting off a customer's data. An interesting side thought: why are they even using signed integers? That implies it's possible for a customer to have negative usage. |

I had my Internet service disconnected for non-payment of a bill that wasn't due for two more weeks. I was told there would be a reconnection fee, which I outright refused. I went through multiple people before I found a reasonable person who understood that shutting me off on the 9th for not paying a bill that wasn't due until the 24th was absurd and waived the fee. Then I got to have the same conversations with other people for the exact same issue several months later. Again, someone finally waived the fee. Later in the year it happened a third time, and I just gave up and went with a different provider. |
