Is there anything that Verizon can do well?

They're pretty good at arbitrarily raising prices.

There top of their class in missing credits and charging arbitrary fees.

They all arbitrarily raise prices. The most recent lawsuit with AT&T was a 2 dollar increase to customers bills that they got sued for and lost. What was the resolution? They paid far less than they made.

It's not just Verizon my friend.

I like FIOS. Between that or spectrum I'll take Verizon every time

FiOS has been my favorite ISP because it’s just a hole in the wall the internet comes out of, and I can use my own hardware and they don’t seem to care if I run a server.

The bar is pretty low but at least they hit it.
