A U.S. appeals court upheld the Federal Communications Commission’s so-called net neutrality rule barring internet service providers from slowing or blocking rivals’ content. The court’s ruling last year was a triumph for companies such as Netflix Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. It was a substantial setback for AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and Comcast Corp., which lost the opportunity to slow or even block the transmission of disfavored content.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer continues to stack up piles of cash, despite her veritable failure to rescue the company from a pile of its own rot. After numerous setbacks, including two massive security breaches and dwindling ad revenue, Mayer is set to make about $186 million as a result of the company’s sale to Verizon, new SEC documents show.

The next chapter in Yahoo’s strange journey from cornerstone of the early internet to aged Verizon subsidiary is a bold rebranding.

Verizon is being taken to court after allegedly failing to provide adequate fiber services to New York City. The telecoms giant apparently has failed to fulfill a contract signed back in 2008 to give city residents the option to sign up for fiber-optic FiOS service by 2014. Now it is 2017, according to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, the city is "done waiting."

Verizon is charging you more for the right to buy a new phone.

A small island community is up in arms over Verizon billing its volunteer fire company $73,000 to have equipment moved off land on which the department is building a new firehouse. And then there are the ponies.

As thousands of Verizon Wireless customers complain about skyrocketing bills for data usage, some small businesses have also been clobbered. And when businesses get hit, the bills are sometimes staggering. In Greater Cleveland, David Smith of Horizon Education Centers is staring at a Verizon bill for data usage for $20,291.94. That's for one month. For data overages. The entire bill was for more than $23,000.

Verizon has told its field technicians in Pennsylvania that they can be fired if they try to fix broken copper phone lines. Instead, employees must try to replace copper lines with a device that connects to Verizon Wireless’s cell phone network. This directive came in a memo from Verizon to workers on September 20. “Failure to follow this directive may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal,” the memo said. It isn't clear whether this policy has been applied to Verizon workers outside of Pennsylvania.

Nearly every month, Verizon Fios defends its title as the fastest ISP in Netflix's speed index. From time to time, another ISP will unseat the champion, but the change never lasts long. Of course, some have argued that such speed index tests are inaccurate and grossly over-simplified. However, it's hard to argue against the fact that Verizon Fios is a name synonymous with internet that's fast as hell. How fast is that exactly? Well, the top plan currently offered is 500 Mbps both up and down.

It’s more than double what has been previously reported and far more than the company is saying. After the Verizon VZ 0.51% deal was announced on Monday, the Internet erupted in outrage that Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer could collect as much as $55 million. That’s the figure Yahoo YHOO -0.15% stated in April that Mayer could collect if the company were sold and more-than enough to get observers who think Mayer has not done a great job to declare her pay unfair, and another sign that corporate compensation is corrupt.

There was a time when Yahoo was the internet company that Google is now. What happened?

US telecoms giant Verizon Communications is to buy Yahoo's search and advertising operations for $5bn (£3.8bn), according to media reports. The two firms were reported on Friday to be in exclusive talks over a possible deal. US internet firm Yahoo announced in February that it was looking at "strategic alternatives" for its core internet business. Verizon declined to comment on the reports. A formal announcement is expected on Monday before US markets open for trading.

Verizon is forcing heavy data users to get off its unlimited plan or get off the carrier's network entirely. Verizon's continuing its ongoing mission to pare down the number of customers on unlimited data plans by migrating them to ones with hard limits. Recently, the company came up with a way to get rid of its biggest data hogs. Verizon is notifying customers using an “extraordinary” amount of data per month that they must move off their unlimited data plan by August 31. If they don’t switch, the carrier will disconnect their accounts, though they’ll have 50 days to reactivate them on a limited plan, as first reported by Droid Life.

Yahoo Inc is focused on selling its core business to U.S. telecommunications company Verizon Communications Inc after reviewing final bids that it received this week, people familiar with the matter said on Friday. A deal would boost Verizon's AOL internet business, which it acquired last year for $4.4 billion US, by giving it access to Yahoo's advertising technology tools, as well other assets such as search, mail, messenger and real estate.

Verizon has reportedly switched 1.1 million customers from copper to fiber lines over the past few years under a program it calls "Fiber Is the Only Fix." But some phone customers have refused the switch to fiber because they prefer to keep their copper lines—even though Verizon apparently is refusing to fix problems in the copper infrastructure. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that it obtained internal company documents that describe...
