Verizon Has Cold Words For AT&T

from the mud-slinging dept

Unless it involves Oracle or Sun you usually don't hear companies make statements outright trashing their competitors. However, it sounds like Verizon is taking a page from the Oracle playbook. Following yesterday's announcement from AT&T that they'll be bundling DSL with their phone service, Verizon responded by saying, "AT&T's new offering is several popsicles short of a full box." Sounds like more former political spokespeople are moving into the private sector. No matter what, it should make reading the daily news much more entertaining.

    Verizon says "Our bundled DSL offer is $29.95 period with no price jumps or surprises." But http://www22.verizon.com/ForHomeDSL/channels/dsl/package+price.asp explains that the price jumps to $34.95 after the third month. Not a lot of popsicles there either.
