After trolling Verizon curious what reasons they will come with for that outage.


Maybe this is payback by Verizon...


Care to elaborate how they were "trolling" Verizon?



That didn't seem like trolling – just a public call for Verizon to follow internet best practices. Given that most large ISPs treat failures as a PR exercise, that's probably necessary.


Agreed.

They reached out to Verizon privately, a Tier 1 carrier with expectations and responsibilities as a good netizen, and got no response.

They attempted to reach out through Verizon's public forms of communication and got a bullshit irrelevant CS response despite requesting escalation.

They then called out Verizon before the community as a whole.

They don't have the luxury of waiting for a well prepared letter from some Verizon lawyers. Modern day customer expectations don't allow for it. You may call it trolling, but all I saw was a company asking another company to stop pissing in the public pool.
