lol... dont worry, i get charge shit loads on AT&T to.. you should see the tax column.. its ming boggling!. ]]>Apr 22nd 2010 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/Probably because they spend so much on their network, and as of lately, getting some seriously awesome phones. AT&T on the other hand sticks the money into their pockets instead of upgrading their crumbling infrastructure.]]>Apr 22nd 2010 7:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/

You go away. This effects every one of us. If you don't think this will get passed to us you are stupid. Not only that, but I had an extra dollar of taxes that started this month. Add 90 or 80 million customers and that is a lot. I guess the other 25 dollars a month isn't enough to buy poor people a blackberry (see michelle obama food bank pictures).]]>Apr 22nd 2010 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/
I don't remember saying anything political. I'm commenting on how our phone bills will probably get bigger because of the health care bill. What, do you think Verizon and all these other companies are just going to soak it up in their profit margins? Uh, no, I don't think so. Things cost money, no matter what people want to believe. ]]>Apr 22nd 2010 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/
AT&T has been pouring 2 billion dollars of its own money into upgrading its network and adding new markets this year alone. ]]>Apr 22nd 2010 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/Apr 22nd 2010 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/
I think you may be on to something considering how bad my experience with AT&T was compared to Verizon's service. ]]>Apr 22nd 2010 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/

My roommate once worked for Verizon... and in his training they said that Verizon spends 4 billion dollars on its network infrastructure every quarter.

Every quarter... let that sink in.

I just think it is funny that VZ only has 55% ownership in Verizon wireless! That is right Vodaphone owns the other 45%. When you share ownership you share the profits. ]]>Apr 23rd 2010 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/HA! I'm guess you believe the figure that health care is going to save x number of billions of dollars over the next 10 years. The health care benefits are going to be introduced slowly over a 4 year span, with the most expensive ones in year 4. It's easy to come up with the idea that you can save money when you're using 10 years worth of taxes to pay for 6 years of health care. ]]>Apr 23rd 2010 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/Apr 23rd 2010 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.pcworld.com/article/189592/atandt_roars_back_in_pcworlds_second_3g_wireless_performance_test.html]]>Apr 23rd 2010 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/verizon-posts-first-quarter-numbers-gets-bested-by-atandts/
I am pretty sure they are lying about it considering they charge their customers for every little thing and not to mention those unknown charges they pile up on us. Profit is calculated after payroll so we can just assume all the money went into exec bonuses.

He was well out of college and was in his mid 20's.

Anyway... what about the other articles that say AT&T would have to spend $5 billion to catch up to Verizon's 3G network?
