Discussion - Verizon is getting cocky again

That damn Verizon...

Told yall Verizon is scum

Never trusted them since the 2G days. George Vaccaro argued with them OVER THEIR OWN ADVERTISED PRICE OF DATA - and they fought him, with their own customer service lying to his face. They advertised 0.002 dollars, but treated it as 0.2 cents. Recorded all of his conversations and dumped them on the internet showing they can't do math, and they caved to the pressure to bill him AS ADVERTISED.

This combined with their "only Verizon branded hardware, only whitelisted hardware (pay to play scheme), hardware fascism basically" and dumb inclusions like REQUIRING mmWave antenna (+$100 charge) and special cases (because the Verizon version will often change the physical dimensions), I will never do business with them. They are an egotistical company, and they aren't even right!

Since the t mobile transition, all 3 are the same. Unhinged gier and the consumer as a nuisance. Short of any pro consumer regulation which is guaranteed not coming we just have to live with it and choose the one which in our personal circumstances is ripping us off least.

And they lock up thieves and rapists, but let these sleazeballs **** and plunder decent consumers. And where are the FTC and FCC? Are these dirtbags paying off these government watchdogs?
