Briefly, what's the progressive case against Verizon and Verizon Wireless?

7. I think you answered it. Quality/availability of signal w. Verizon has always been good.

Whereas I remember having problems ( dropped calls, etc.) w. other carriers.

That was years ago. The whole industry is different now. To put it mildly.

I meant I'm not particularly concerned about hi-tech smart phone -type features ......although i may break down and get a smart phone. (Both Credo and Verizon practically *give* you one if you sign up for two years.)

But I need to have good, reliable *phone* service.

(And I'm not knocking the Luddites. They were working class people that were being gradually dispossessed by the 1 % of their era. Sound familiar?)
