T-Mobile’s CEO: AT&T and Verizon Are ‘Raping You’
Time ^ | June 19, 2014 | Laura Stampler

Just the latest in John Legere's history of madcap soundbites

T-Mobile CEO John Legere is hardly known for speaking delicately, but his most recent outburst, at a Wednesday press event, might take the proverbial profanity cake.

Business Insider reports that Legere had harsh words for competitors AT&T and Verizon. “These high and mighty duopolists that are raping you for every penny you have,” he said. “The f—ers hate you.”

WTH? Laz is in a coma??!

You have to ask the moderators. They are the only ones with the facts.

What a moron. None of these carriers “rape” anyone. If you don’t like one of them go to a different one. We actually live in a great period of time with the ability to surf the net at high speed over a smartphone. Pretty cool. The glass is half full not empty.

I can vouch for Verizon. They were really hosing us on internet and cell phone. We took a one year deal with ATT on cable and internet and knocked $100 per month off the bill.

No Laz jokes while he's in a coma.

Now that was funny and, most likely, relevant. You must be referring to the fact that male rabbits are said to briefly pass out following vigorous love-making.

Laz tried to hit on a moderator. He is now in rehab, drying out. Laz is definitely going through Freeper withdrawals. I'm sure he will be back soon with his side of the story which will be amazing.

A moderator induced coma. He’ll come out of it later.

Bummer.
Not having experienced either during my apparently staid lifetime, I suspect there is quite a difference between a sex-induced coma and drying out in rehab.

My experience with verizon was beyond horrific. After screw ups from order. Appts. Installation. Service and finally billing they screwed every step up multiple times. After abt 7-8 weeks i pulled it. Done. Never ever ever again.

I will keep Verizon thank you. I have had Verizon for 3 years for everything including cell, phone, cable and internet and I don’t have a single complaint. I BRIEFLY thought of changing to Comcast but then the minute the thought crossed my mind, I suddenly heard numerous complaints everywhere. Forget it...no company is perfect so I will just stay with Verizon.

I switched to Comcast. A few weeks later my Comcast service gets interrupted and it takes them days to restore it. I switched back to Verizon. Comcast may be OK as a cable provider, but I will never again rely on them for critical service.

My mom was paying about $180/month to AT&T for 4 lines. She called in May to drop one of the phones and found out she was overpaying for services never used. This month’s bill was less than $60 for 3 lines. They said the plan had changed and she shouldn’t have been charged that much, who knows how many months she was gouged because she never was informed of the plan change.

I have a GoPhone that I have had since Dec 2007 and still on the $1/day when used plan. But I rarely talk to anyone and get the 200 texts for $5. I get the $25/3 months cards and that is more than enough.

AT&T is the best one in this area for coverage.

I can honestly say they have the worst customer service I’v ever seen. We had a repairman out two days ago; he said the service is so bad, even Verizon employees don’t have Verizon, lol.

Verizon’s customer service is generally bad, and AT&T’s is worse. We have had few problems with Verizon’s actual phone and network service though - just pray you don’t have a problem that requires you to call Moe, Larry or Curly in Customer Service.
