Verizon vs. the Needham Fire Department

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the never-had-that-problem-before dept.

netbuzz writes "At issue is whether — or not — there was a minor fire in a house on Pine Grove Street in Needham, Mass., caused by a Verizon employee drilling through an electrical main. Everyone agrees that whatever happened — or didn't happen — was indeed the fault of the Verizon employee; it's "fire or no fire" that is at issue. Verizon says no fire, not even smoke. The Needham Fire Department begs to differ. New eye-witness reports are emerging ... and it's not looking good for Verizon."

    If he's had the problem before, perhaps we could ask him how he
    dealt with it.

    Company tries to squirm out of liability for a problem. Hardly something new, and happens all the time. Why is this on Slashdot?

    Oh, wait. Cathartic disasterbation about future dystopias ruled by megacorps. Nevermind.

    I guess you could say that Verizon's FiOS Internet service is blazingly fast...
