For everyone complaining about the cell signal in DV

during the game.
How many texts and calls do you think were made from DV during the 1981 home games?

You can't go 3-4 hours without using your phone just because everyone else does?
This is what's wrong with America.

Is that a good enough reason for you sir? This isn't 1981...people have higher expectations now when it comes to technology. If there were cell phones then it would have been the same way.

Every big game with that many people has cell problems,not just a Clemson problem.It's luck of the draw,sometimes I'll get through sometimes I can't.

If your daughter was sick enough to need updates over a 5 hour span, shouldn't you have stayed home and watched it on TV?
It's not Clemson obligation to provide anyone with cell service. Want to complain? Go to a verizon (or whoever your provider is) forum.

Maybe she had a cold. Maybe he was being a good father and going overboard by checking on her. Completely out of bounds to question the parenting abilities of a person with such limited information.
I think we all are complaining about Verizon, not Clemson. My frustration comes from the fact that it was treated as this big announcement that would result in far superior cell phone service. Nothing could be further from the truth. Frankly, I like to have service, because I want to know what's going with other games. Yes, that's a luxury, but still a point of frustration, nonetheless.

when he brought it up as to the reason why he needed his phone. I simply relayed the importance of the situation.
He/she made the decision to stay at the game, so don't ##### about Clemson's service at that point. Sorry, that dog just doesn't hunt.
I'm sure he/she is a great parent and was worried about their daughter, but a decision was made to stay at the game, not Clemson's or Verizon's problem at that point.

Sep 10, 2012, 10:33 AM

and I am not criticizing you for making that decision (I actually applaud you for not going over board). Too many parents are afraid to let kids be kids these days.
But don't effing blame Clemson because of service, out of their control, that you pay another company for, failed, and you couldn't get updates.
That's the chance you took by staying and you know that. You also took the chance that your battery would run out too. Just because it didn't, you still knew it could be a possibility.

technology, that this isn't the technological stone age.
What better proof to say that technology isn't bullet proof, than saturday.
You do online banking right? You expect your data to be kept safe right? But everyday, thousands of people have the bank accounts drained by hackers. We know that their are risks in depending on anything and that is especially true technology. The more you depend on something, the great chance you run that it is going to fail you and the more it is going to impact you.

Made and don't deliver then you do deserve whatever complaints come your way. If Clemson didn't want complaints about it then don't make a big deal about all you have done to improve it and then not deliver.

for the sake of our differences. Even if Clemson is at fault, Tigernet, is not affiliated with Clemson in any official capacity.
Again, I was not trying to question your parenting and for that, I apologize if it came across like that. I was merely trying to point out that we cannot blame technology when it doesn't do what we want it to. Nothing is perfect and technology has proven to be a very critical tool in our growth, but we still need to realize how delicate it is.

Already at the game. Sure, its not Clemson's obligation. But don't advertise it with so much hype that they had done so much to make it better.

It's because it spends 4 hours searching for service. I have an iPhone and it was fully charged when I got into the stadium at 11:30ish and by the time we cleared off the field after the game my phone was down to 23% and I hadn't done anything with it. If you can't get service you are better off putting it in airplane mode or something so it doesn't kill your battery.

We rely on cell phones and the internet so much, you can't compare today to 1981. That's like saying "For everyone complaining about losing A/C in their home this summer, how many people were without A/C in 1776?"

I think it's because kids today appreciate the little things more; A/C, TV, soft plush couches...etc. If you want to go back to 1981 be my guest, but I'm pretty happy with how things look today.

Even if a third of the people were using wifi that would take some of the strain off the cell towers. Just a thought. I wouldn't mind not having my phone so much if they would just put all the other scores up on the ribbon screens or something. I just like to see what the other scores are.
