if you wouldn't have taken advantage of title II, then complained when it was formally brought back up due to your complaints that you didn't get all benefit and were required to give some to get some, you wouldn't be in this position you jackwagons.

Mommy can give you a cookie - yes she can. But crying because mommy can't give you a pony with your cookie is the height of idiocy.

Verizon and many others like Comcast have repeatedly pissed off people both high and low. I'm pretty sure there were a few people left that have been burned by both and their high-handed ways willing to let it pass out of pure spite. You can irritate the shit out of people for only so long until you irritate the shit out the wrong person.

I think they have reached their "we irritate you and charge the shit out of you because we can" threshold. AT&T did it, and you know what happened there.
