Wait what? How did I miss this news about Verizon buying Frontier?

Holy crap. So Frontier begs the govt for a huge handout with the "promise" of rolling out higher speeds, only to turn around and wave the white flag?

Frontier wanders through our neighborhood once every few months trying to get us to switch (I'm sticking with my local, because small business and they've never given me problems). My wife *hates* Frontier because of the crap service and run-around they gave her parents, plus the rep tried to lie to me (the one time I did talk to them) about compared services, saying I was in a worse position with the local. It was easy to pull out my phone and run a speed test to prove them wrong.

Electricity?

Clearly you've never spent any time with lawyers or the legal system. Targon is exactly right. There are rules to filing court documents, and this law firm is in the wrong.

And no, I'm not a boomer (yes, I know it's a general insult term.)

Oh man. KOL. That's something I haven't heard in decades. Glad to see its still around in some form.

At least they're announcing it ahead of time, so you know which models to avoid, and the company, as a whole.

I have a synology diskstation from six years ago, and now I definitely know I won't be using them if I need to replace the system.

What does Gordon Shumway have to do with PETA? They'd be against his eating of cats...

My friends are stupid. So often people post these things either believing, or wanting to believe they're real.. and I have to keep telling them its easy to check.. IMDB is the only reliable source.

God damnit, another time when I wish I had points to mod up funny. Goes right along with the very real "transgenic" anger.

Its funny how people have utterly forgotten that up until Reagan, the ultra rich were taxed at a roughly 90% above a certain threshold, and the country was doing just fine without excessive prices on things.

There are plenty of virtual mobile networks that charge cheaper prices.. Mint, MetroPCS, Boost, Consumer Cellular..

That being said, I guess it's harder to check to see what your price would cost on a new plan through T-Mobile than would be to check someone else's? (sarcasm)

I literally just said the newer plan would lower my monthly by $6. My wife has her own plan she set up with her parents. Its two phone lines (we keep talking about merging our accounts) and she just told me she's saving $10/month by switch to the new plan.

That's basically what I was saying in my post below, but apparently there are people offended by the change and want to switch, despite their bill seemingly being simultaneously lowered and getting improved service.

Seriously, its $5 extra for the OLDER plans. I'm still on Magenta and got the text message. The newer Go plans, the one of comparable (with one or two slight improvements to service) costs a dollar LESS than I *currently* pay. I would end up saving myself $6 / month by switching to the new plan.

I feel this is more about them trying to just cut down on the number of different plans they have to keep track of more than anything.

Of course my mod points ran out yesterday otherwise I'd mod up this post. Flamebait my ass, its truth.

Holy shit. Kingdom of loathing. I havent heard or thought of that site in over 25 years. It's more than just an idle RPG now?
