Is there anything that Verizon can do well?
- They're pretty good at arbitrarily raising prices.
  
  There top of their class in missing credits and charging arbitrary fees.
  
  They all arbitrarily raise prices. The most recent lawsuit with AT&T was a 2 dollar increase to customers bills that they got sued for and lost. What was the resolution? They paid far less than they made.
  It's not just Verizon my friend.
- I like FIOS. Between that or spectrum I'll take Verizon every time
  
  FiOS has been my favorite ISP because it’s just a hole in the wall the internet comes out of, and I can use my own hardware and they don’t seem to care if I run a server.
  The bar is pretty low but at least they hit it.
