Whining because IBM won't reimburse all his costs

The blogger was getting reimbursed fully for landline, cellphone, & internet costs. They didn't want to reimburse him for the top OOL service tier where he was getting 23729/3938 speeds. So he looked for something cheaper and being 17,000 feet from the CO, his Verizon dsl speed was 348/379. He wants Fios and it isn't there yet - hence the whining. He could keep the best OOL service if he'd shell out $25/mo of his own money. He doesn't get any sympathy from me.

If he's complaining he can't get FIOS cause he's in the "burbs" then he's naive, as all the places I know around here Verizon has deployed are in those areas. They've yet to deploy in Boston or surrounding towns.

 And if he ever got FIOS, he'd probably bitch about Verizon's prices too. Their not exactly priced competitively with their own DSL service after all.
The guy probably makes 80K a year but wants everything for nothing.

Maybe next he will try to get his employer to pay for a pressure washer to clean his siding.

You can't make all the people happy all of the time. But it should be common sense to shoot for the majority.
