Except that at least two of these resulted in Comcast and then Verizon suing and getting to continue doing each of them because the courts said they couldn't regulate against those…

Yeah the way to write better code is to write better code. I happen to find TDD a useful tool in that but doing things badly is still possible. Someone mentioned DI not getting rid…

I am reasonably okay with my FIOS service. But only really in comparison to the hell that Comcast put me through. I am sure at some point Verizon will fuck it up. Too bad I am out …
