Charter’s been doing this forever. Of course, Charter sucks donkey balls.

BREAKING to me tends to mean really really important. Like it would most likely affect a large group of people in a dire manner.

Terrorists blow up dirty bomb, Bush is assassinated, California drops off the coast into the ocean, aliens land in New York…

Not some phone company trying to get extra traffic thru their interwebs.

Would the story be the same if it wasn’t BREAKING? If it was just a story?

Breaking was indeed needed here.

Good thing I don’t have Verizon internet and am getting away from their wireless service.

This is important…. Screwing with DNS is breaking the trust of the ISP to the individual.

You know, I was wondering why Verizon’s page kept showing up when I mistyped (not that I do often :P)…. thanks :)

Please stop with the BREAKING titles. It’s not that important.
