Not that registered users aren't occasionally void of thought, but it seems more often than not that anonymous posters roll in here simply to troll.

Tell that to the residents of Pennsylvania from whom Verizon stole over $2 billion for supposed fiber deployment that never materialized. » Picture Perfect Deal» Pennsylvania Gets Some Fiber I'm a resident of New Jersey. I could care less what the people in PA fell for. All I know is that Verizon is installing fiber all around my area and I'm happy. Of course there will be fools on here who say that Verizon is wrong to install fiber and then there are people who yell about how Verizon isn't installing fiber fast enough.
I'm laughing and I'm sure the execs at Verizon are too because we know damn well the average consumer will buy this AWESOME deal! 15/2 for $45-50/month is excellent compared to what Americans have as an option today for Broadband.

Dude, they're BOTH monopolies. They've just had different turfs until recently.
You see any Joe's Broadband wires strung from those poles? Can you get a T-1 or DSL line or POTS line where Verizon/yourILEC is NOT the last mile carrier? Can you get cable TV service from anyone else? This is not complicated.

If you want to avoid discussion of Verizon and its sordid past, perhaps you should skip the news item. If you want to kiss the ass of Verizon, there is a forum in which to do so... »Rants, Raves, and Praise
But so long as the public funding question is asked, expect it to be answered.
