[Hidden-tech] Verizon FIOS

[Michael Bishop]

This doesn’t contribute any direct information, but it sure is enjoyable to listen to...

https://gimletmedia.com/episode/60-a-simple-question/

It’s an episode of Reply All which asks the question: FIOS is advertised all over New York but when most people call for installation, they are told it’s not available. Why?

Enjoy,
