Pretty much every time Verizon wanders outside of its core competencies (operating telecom networks, lobbying to hamstring competition, undermining the most basic of regulatory oversight)…
I am seeing a lot of, “I hate Verizon.” Comments, you guys don’t know a lot about the telecom industry and AT&T’s rise and failure.
Look up the Baby Bells and the crack down on AT&T. Listen to a couple of security podcasts and learn about AT&T charging users 700 dollars and instead of looking into the bill mishap they were blaming the users.
Listen to the issues T-Mobile has with security.
Is Verizon better in every way? No. Is every other company better because Verizon is better. Also, no.

I heard about this earlier but re-reading this headline made me smile all over again. I will simply never get tired of hearing about Verizon failing.

HA HA!

We do not defend companies in these parts. If everyone’s bad then everyone’s bad. There shouldn’t need to be a “relative to x, y isn’t that bad.”
The comments very much say otherwise. Additionally, I am not defending Verizon.
I am aware Lemmy users don’t defend companies.
