Ride Along With a Real Verizon Wireless Tester

Posted by samzenpus on from the everything-on-tv-is-real dept.

jonknee writes "So you're probably sick of the Can you hear me now? ads, but here's a new article about a real-life Verizon Wireless network tester. This guy logs over 3,000 miles a month in a station wagon decked out with over a quarter-million dollars worth of network gear (I dare say the most valuable station wagon ever?). An audio file is linked at the bottom of the article that has a few minute sample of the audio Verizon tests with. It's bizarre!"

    At least the idea of riding around with one is. They followed one around on TSS a few years ago (before G4/Comcast ruined the station)

    This doesn't change the fact that Verizon is an evil, evil company that you should avoid at all cost. Verizon's support infrastructure is useless, and they're so large that the individual customers aren't considered important anymore.

    Again, I didn't ask *how to play* an .amr file, I asked *what the fuck is* an .amr file. Seriously, reading comprehension.
