    I heard about this earlier but re-reading this headline made me smile all over again. I will simply never get tired of hearing about Verizon failing.

      I find it pretty funny because I’m relatively informed on corporate voice conferencing as an employee and never even heard of blue jeans. I don’t think this ever even had a chance.

    I am seeing a lot of, “I hate Verizon.” Comments, you guys don’t know a lot about the telecom industry and AT&T’s rise and failure.

    Look up the Baby Bells and the crack down on AT&T. Listen to a couple of security podcasts and learn about AT&T charging users 700 dollars and instead of looking into the bill mishap they were blaming the users.

    Listen to the issues T-Mobile has with security.

    Is Verizon better in every way? No. Is every other company better because Verizon is better. Also, no.

      We do not defend companies in these parts. If everyone’s bad then everyone’s bad. There shouldn’t need to be a “relative to x, y isn’t that bad.”

        The comments very much say otherwise. Additionally, I am not defending Verizon.

        I am aware Lemmy users don’t defend companies.
