Verizon - we write the laws so legislators don't have to.

 
Of course Verizon wants Congress to look at the FCC regulatory oversight laws.

That way Verizon can pay Congress to pass laws far more favorable to Verizon and less favorable to the customers Verizon supposedly serves.

It's time for Verizon to return to deploying fiber optics everywhere and bring their bandwidth to modern times.

Baby needs his bottle

Lowell McAdam still butthurt from the old rules that were in place?

Needs a timeout. Maybe a sitdown on the lobbyist leg and given a spanking?

Idiots running Verizon

Should've been happy with the watered down set of rules they got back in 2010 but no greedy bastards shot themselves in the foot. Good, may the long d!ck of the law f#ck them over just as hard as they're f#cking their customers. No sympathy from me...

I challenge everyone - Caption McAdam



Lets see who comes up with the most clever caption for this picture. I will wait.

VZ is just run by big manchild crybabies who only want the easy way out and are in it ultimately only for the golden parachute.

Re: How is this guy...

He is definitely worse than Brian Roberts.

Brian Roberts actually invests some money in his networks. McAdam lets it all fall of the pole, refuses to replace bad equipment, and then he comes back and tells you LTE is great and that you should use that instead.

Brian Roberts just wants an empire, finishing what his dad started. Comcast is a kingdom passed from father to son. McAdam seems to be actively working not only to damage Verizon but to damage the whole industry.

"...urging Congress to step in and do something"

Clearly this guy hasn't been paying attention to what Congress has done for the last several years.

Nevertheless, go ahead, do something and watch it get vetoed.

McAdam is pretty much echoing what Wall Street wants, Hes a yes man and nothing more. They want QuickProfits Wireless so he gives it to them.

Next step

If title II reclassification is overturned I hope the Obama administration gets the Department of Justice to file an antitrust lawsuit against Comcast and Verizon seeking that they divest their ISP businesses and be strictly data transport companies. Then you'll get two bills, one from Comcast for a DPU tariffed data transport rate and one from the ISP of your choosing. Just like Internet in the '90s when you dialed into your ISP.

The '90s were a good time in the Internet, dissatisfied with your ISP; just pop a new provider's CD ROM into your computer and sign up with the new provider. Now there is no choice.

Re: How is this guy...

Comcast only invests in networks if you live in a good area, live in an economically depressed area they let it rot into the ground (based on my observation). At least we're lucky enough to have X1 and D3 but their support is as good as Verizon and the trash bags (from my point of view).

They also do a half assed job with repairs, when my underground line went bad they cut corners when replacing it.

What really matters is that Comcast RIGHT NOW can deliver Broadband to a vast majority of its customers, while VZ still has millions of lines left in 1984 (inexcusable)
Very few people (measured in the hundreds, thousands may be a stretch) live in analog only no HSI Comcast systems...

Its silly easy for me to find a home in VZ ILEC area with no DSL or FIOS.

VZ is a metro-joke while Comcast remains semi-serious about providing service. While that level of customer service may be atrocious, the local folks seem to care.
And BTW I have seen them provide good service in not so wealthy semi-rural areas of VA...

As for premtech work that has nothing to do with plant maintenance, its well known most prem techs and the contractors don't give a shit.

Re: I challenge everyone - Caption McAdam

I see a number of posts are being "withheld" by the system, my guess is the very
well paid and huge Verizon legal department is pressing Karl Bode to pull posts about
Mc Damit that are "unflattering" or more accurately, "accurate. LOL
