1. They will sue and Bush appointed judges will intervene.

7. And nothing will come of it.

Verizon took advantage when it ruled in their favor, and their whining is what brought this back into play.

Republicans don't have the votes to overturn it, and even the Republican members of the FCC balked at voting against net neutrality, even though they eventually voted against.

Verizon and Comcast hoisted themselves on their own petards. Whining like 2 year olds that don't understand why mommy can give them a cookie but can't give them a pony, too, reinforces the stupidity of their PR department and executive management.

9. Oh yeah, they won't get anywhere.

But you can betcha they'll try.

2. Verizon sucks. I have Verizon and will be getting

rid of it soon.
My service constantly goes on and off if I try to down load anything large or do streaming. Netflix and Amazon prime are constantly buffering in the begining when I watch a movie.

3. they need to upgrade their typewriter

4. What's great about that statement is that it looks like it was typed on a manual typewriter

In a statement complaining about regulations written in the time of Steam Locomotives and and Telgraph, that's somewhat Moronic.

Wait, did I mean Ironic?

5. Cue the sad Hulk music:

6. Anything that makes Verizon butthurt

is a win for their customers. The same goes for Comcast. The more they hate it, the better it is for customers.

Great comment from the article on Ars Technica:

"Two amusing points about Verizon's little cry-baby blog post:

1. Verizon gladly invoked Title II when it worked to their advantage.
2. The only reason the FCC ruled the way it did today is because of Verizon's lawsuit that resulted in the FCC's original net neutrality rules being struck down.

You made your bed Verizon, now fucking lie in it. "

11. Yeah, because there goes their monopoly, they have to compete for a change.

Which will cut into profits, make no mistake.

[Aerows]

13. That's why they are

absolutely losing their shit.

Couldn't happen to better bunch of assholes.

8. One, two, three, AWWWWWWW!

Better call 'em a

10. Fuck verizon...

I currently have them. Fuck comcast too--don't know who's worse.

It's all a racket.

While I'm at it--fuck the electric company too--I know they're ripping me off. No way my electric bill should be 300 a month for a house my size. Yes, I'm good about turning things off. I don't keep my heat high...etc.

12. If you look at the companies with the worst customer service record...

The worst of the worst are cable, internet, and telephone providers.

And they are all bad. They ultimately don't care because they know there are only a few options and the competition is just as bad.

[Aerows]

14. They aren't content

with pissing off the little people, they've pissed off the big people, too. It was only a matter of time before they pissed on Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike.

Now come the bitter tears from Comcast and Verizon. I'm pretty sure you would have to be completely in their pocket not to stand up and say "Fuck you, you got what was coming to you Comcast and Verizon."

They were the ones pushing for more more more, and now they have pushed so far that they have made their own beds. I hope they enjoy lying in it, because they brought it upon themselves with their arrogance, just like AT&T did - and you see what happened there.
