This wireline discussion is getting confusing. In my mine wireline is anything that rides over copper transport or TDM switches. Now of course we all know that some of the TDM can ride over fiber between remotes and CO as well transport to tandems etc... For the company to be profitable than it needs to focus on an all fiber optic transport, VOIP, IPTV and mobility. Everything else needs to be phased out.

@3kzb If you can't have wireless without wireline, how do T-Mobile and Dish do it?
Sorry you actually can.
Brightspeed
Bollocks. Wireline definitely for sale.
I always love a good FiOS vs 5g thread...
The union dopes praying for more buildout to justify their jobs
The wireless dregs wishing the engineers could make 5g a viable product so their jobs are worth something.
Neither can see the forest for the trees.
Aaahhhhhh.....
Good times!!!
Nothing is profitable from the landline side...you can't have wireless without it, but its a huge boat anchor generating nothing.
Hate to tell you, but no one buys unprofitable properties. They were sold because they were profitable and an easy sell to Frontier. Money was then wasted...shocker!
My 5GEE router works great too. It's from T-Mobile.
My 5GEE router works great.
Fiber build is wrapping up. Just a few more jobs an they are done for at least the rest of the year.
The Fios guys say they are planning major additions to the Lower Delaware area in the next 2 years. FIOS will be added to Fenwick Island, Georgetown, Millsboro, Dagsboro, Ocean View and Millville. Population shifts from high tax states making growth in FIOS Delaware a must.
5g turnover is insane. Dissatisfied customers mail back their cr-ppy router then get charged $200 for unreturned equipment.
@1mtr. Have you tried 5g home internet? Maybe one day it will be good, but it’s not ready for prime time just yet. Maybe one day, but I’ll be outta here by then. Most likely you too, cause they don’t need to pay you to mail a modem out.
Lol 5G is terrible. Building fios all over. People are sick of the monopoly spectrum has. Fios for lyfe.
That’s so cute! You actually think 5G was a success. Wall Street certainly doesn’t agree with you.
Look at how many fixed wireless access customers they are adding compared to fios adds. The only fios they are building out is the cr-ppy copper areas so the can eliminate the need for all the techs to keep fixing the copper. Which if the lazy union shmucks fixed right the first time wouldn't be an issue. Once fiber is in the air lazy schmucks will be gone.
the new 5g with the C-band spectrum is what VZ is counting on bot fios.this new 5g is working out for the company,they will not need the fios customers cus they will switch to internet only 5g very soon,sorry unioners writing is on the wall.
Silly goose, they’re expanding in upstate NY, western PA, MD, and VA. Keep dreaming wireless boomer.
They stopped the fios build. And the number of customers being added is pathetic. Yes gains but not many. It's good as sold.
Expansion of FiOS.
FiOS internet posts gains EVERY quarter
Hiring in NY/NE
OT
FiOS popularity among consumers in comparison to competitors
Wireline won’t be up for sale until something bigger and better replaces it….which is a long time coming.
Lead cables is not an issue. Most analysts say the WSJ article over exaggerated the amount of lead out there and any possible liabilities. Also the value of the copper in those cable will cover the cost of removal. And VZ has the least amount of lead cables among the big telcos.
As far as a sale it's just a matter of when.
@bus+1op4KOTu keep playing everyone for the fool
Brightspeed is currently interested. Verizon is 100% interested in getting rid of landlines side. Interest rates are too high for their debt. 80% of the money comes from wireless.
true who would buy the wireline with all its lead issues now..Thats going to be a feast for all the class action law suits coming..
