[VoiceOps] Verizon SIP issues

[Paul Timmins]

TMC isn't going to make a carrier mad by spotlighting otherwise unnoticed issues. They're basically as far from Consumer Reports as you can get - almost any article you see on their sites are either industry rumors that someone wants to leak through a third party, or literally sponsored or written by industry players.

The independent articles that aren't the above are generally about the industry as a whole, or are careful to remember how their bread is buttered.

My 2c of course.

Not sure of how it’s accomplished exactly but I heard there is a firm out there that offers money to people to remove negative feedback/information. Eg. You get a call from someone offering you 500 bucks to delete your post.
