So when I don’t think my FIOS pipe can get better, I contact Verizon to “renegotiate” my current package deal. Come to find out they don’t even have my Internet speed plan anymore. So I see what options I have. The funny thing is I save an Abe for HD, and use that to upgrade my speed plan. So now I get 25/25 instead of the old 20/5. Talk about a difference!

Well, of course you have to validate it!

What can I say, Comcrap never provided service like that. They kept increasing the monthly bill and I kept getting less! Verizon please keep up the quality!

After following the Vonage patent war with Verizon and those now infamous three patents being upheld by the judge, it led me to dig even more for the real facts and the underlying mess.

After some digging, ended up at a great little wiki that has the nuggets:

Vonage Patent Wikia
The goal of this wiki is to determine the original non-obvious (aka patentable) innovation Verizon is defending.

It has links to the official US Patents as well.

Just some light reading for you to make your own decisions if Verizon really has a right or not. I love how “vague” the US patent office has allowed patents to be submitted and approved. These are prime examples of the wide openness that allows entities like Verizon to take such a wide berth.

You decide.. To me, it seems a shame that 2 of the 3 patents were even allowed to be patented, but that is just me! You decide.
