Re: All that will happen...

said by ropeguru See Profile :

is Fairpoint will go under and Verizon will buy the entire area, and then some, back even cheaper than what they sold it for. So they will get the area cheap and still get to keep all the tax benefits and other write offs from the sale.

It is definitely a win/win for Verizon.
OMG!!! They finally sold it to Canada! Well, that's where people down South think Maine is just like they thought, "Why is that Canadian Mitt Romney running for President?"

Where in the he!! did I mention Canada and did I even imply that Maine was part of Canada. And get rid of the attitude of that everyone "down south". Just because you 'up north" have your noses so high in the air doesn't mean we don't know geography. But hey, you might as well belong to them anyway!!!

HAHA! That is so true!

On a serious note, this sale is what I believe to be a screwing of the VT, NH, ME consumers. Glad I don't do any business with either company, and nor will I ever as long as my cable internet continues to blow them away. Go TWC and Sprint SERO!

Yeah, N FL and S FL are like different states. Up here is redneckville, down there its retirementville and New Cuba.

Selling Vermont and New Hampshire to Canada is the smartest suggestion I've heard in a LONG time!
