Where have you been??? This has been posted, just not the RCR article.....
My only question is how do they figure that Verizon has added 7 million customers through 3 quarters. That is averaging more than 2 million per quarter, and they have not topped that number in any single quarter. And, in addition to that, the webcast announcing earnings this morning stated that they have added just over 5 million through 3 quarters.
Gotta love reporters....can't get anything right. 🙄

I just gotta say that this is all like sports- you might hate the other team, but when they legitimately do well, you've got to shake their hands and congratulate 'em.
So congratulations to Verizon. They seem to be on quite a roll, and are beatin' the pants offa everyone else. Let's see if they can keep it up.
