It's not so much that the areas are rural

What really gets me is that Verizon is trying to get rid of areas that aren't really that rural ( Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and Inland Empire). Sure, there are some low density areas here and there, but those are three large metro areas to just toss away. Weird.

My understanding(West Coast, please correct me if needed):

California--Only getting rid of some rural areas in extreme NW corner of state(Crescent City, Klamath area), and maybe some small territory bordering Nevada and Arizona. All other California Verizon (including LA and Inland Empire) kept by Verizon.

Washington--dumping rural areas and suburban Seattle areas. No more Washington Verizon landlines or FiOS, all to transfer over to Frontier.

Oregon--dumping rural areas and suburban Portland areas. No more Oregon Verizon landlines or FiOS, all to transfer over to Frontier.

Yes.

And the reason for dumping Seattle and Portland areas are that they're not profitable enough.

Hmmm. That sounds like it is something they would do. Eh, I think it is unfortunate.
