Re: Last boosted post, I read and laugh, and laugh, and laugh heartily because the running joke has been I switch to #VerizonFIOS and symmetrical #Xfinity speeds will come to my neighborhood. Well, not quite yet but still a speed boost just as I'm readying to depart. I giggle. #Verizon is still cheaper so here's hoping it goes well.

Seen elsewhere:
Musk proposes to take away $2.4B contract from Verizon, give it to his own privately-held company.
His self-dealing just gets more brazen...
Given #Verizon's size, hopefully they'll sue the govt big-time.
#WasteFraudAndAbuse my ass.
Well that was interesting, try as they may try as they might #Verizon couldn't convert my iPad's number to a phone number with ease so they generated me a new number that I now have to embrace and commit to memory and all associated extra charges have been credited to me. Now all they have to do is figure out why #LoyaltyDiscount only applies to one of my lines and not all 3 and life will be happy.

I had a quick question for #verizon I can't do chat without signing in. So I call and get a fucking bot bullshit, and an ad *before* it puts me on hold.
The reason I couldn't sign in is because Google trashed the password.

Re: Last boosted post: mistake in #Verizon add my eye hahahaha. I wonder what those who mocked me for going back to my cable provider for tv will say now as our prices are now almost identical.
Hey #Verizon? Here is a word of advice: If you want to reach people for an interview, use there email address. If you can have your work day system email me to notify me that my application is closed because you couldn't reach me, you can email me to tel me that you want an interview!
China's cyber spies intercept phone data and calls from US network operators
Chinese cyber spies infiltrated US network operators. Conversations and data from government and politicians were intercepted, as were police wiretaps.

The most low-life, corporate greed, fuck-you consumer move is when #Verizon slowly removes it's per-line Auto Pay #discount.
That's right, #AutoPay on my plan has gone from $10.00 per line, down to $5.00 per line, and now being discontinued... UNLESS! I switch to another PLAN to get my $10 per line discount back!
But I don't want to change to another Plan because I fear they are manipulating me. In fact I know they are.
There should be a law against this. Verizon cites (per their online rep) that the reduction is due to increased costs and a competitive environment. But they'll give me my original discount if I *switch plans*? Fuzzy math. Coercion.
While I'm on a hot Toot here, Verizon doesn't offer chat transcripts to be emailed. I'm supposed to 'take screen shots' of a 5 minute text conversation, inside of a 6" x 3" box. This is by design, people.
I had to do a brain dump here, thanks for listening.

My Annual Cell Phone Analysis
Save $2000 over 3 years with Visible or Mint. Visible is on the Verizon network and Mint is on TMobile.
So much for the ‘free’ phones from the major carriers 🤔
(You'll end up paying a lot more!)

It just never stops, does it? Squeezing every last dime out of us. Verizon is pushing me to move to their "myPlan".
They say in an email "myPlan gives you the power of choice."
No it doesn't. I call bullsh*t on #Verizon.
Time to shop around.

Thx Biden for reinstating #NetNeutrality. It “will bar internet service providers from blocking, slowing down traffic to certain websites, or engaging in paid prioritization of lawful content, as well as give the FCC new tools to crack down on Chinese telecom companies and the ability to monitor internet service outages.
Industry groups representing #ATT, #Comcast, #Verizon and others in recent days have filed legal challenges to the order in seven U.S. circuit courts.”

Some of the top wireless carriers in the U.S. have been fined millions of dollars, for illegally sharing customers’ personal data without their consent.
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon have all received government fines following allegations by the FCC that they had “improperly shared users’ geolocation histories to third parties, including to prisons, as part of their commercial programs.” @CNN has more.
A large number of U.S. mobile phone users are reporting network outages and are unable to make phone calls, according to Downdetector. The BBC has the details:
