Ver-arson

If you're thinking of subscribing to Verizon's new cable tv or high-speed internet service, you might want to read this first.

There is the small matter of installation. When Verizon runs fiber to your house, the company needs to install a box on an inside wall. It was in drilling through a wall to connect that box to a fiber conduit that our installer hit an electrical wire. That knocked the power out and left our electrical box - and the front of the house - smoking.

Now to be fair, this could happen with any home wiring installation, but it's not just the fact that it's happening again and again. It's their slippery PR department trying to deny, deflect, and even redefine "fire".
