Verizon upsold the FIOS subscriber into dropping regulated POTS, then botched the changeover to the VOIP offering.
BUT it turns out VZ is selling advertising on disconnect messages....
***** Moderator's Note *****The washingtonpost site has been badly lagged every time I've tried to reach it, from any kind of browser. Either they aren't using Akamai, they didn't pay tribute to my cable company, or there's a technical glitch which needs attention.
My incipient paranoia tells me that we can expect more of this in times to come: some sites will keep appearing, and others will just somehow fade away. Opinions welcome.
