missing, fudged numbers..

if you want to read the report as an investor.. it's worded wonderful.. the sky is blue, making money hand over fist, blah, blah, blah...

read the real news: sprint faltered and is hemorrhaging wireless customers left and right. many of these defections go to the carrier which mirrors the service offerings closest: verizon... not at&t, not tmobile, not 3rd party carriers.

pots phone lines continue their slide downward (how about real numbers of lines lost, or is that too much of a bummer to concentrate on).. but offset by strong wireless and expanded dsl broadband revenue in secondary markets. so, not bad.. but it's still mixed with most of the fluff coming at the TV service customer gains. that market isn't as good as verizon makes it out to be. if I had proof, I'd say they're fudging the numbers that 2/3 of their FIOS customers have the TV service? no way, not possible.

@verizon.net

its a little suprising when they say two thrids, but I know certain towns like mine in Great Neck, NY, have flocked to the triple play from verizon, people are interested in deals and if they know that they get a better price from a triple play package, they are going with that. It would be stupid to break up your services with three carriers.

I sold 50% of my VZ shares since November 2007. I think the FIOS numbers are damn weak to be honest. VZ needs to fix its stupid ordering and billing systems. The report is too pretty.
