Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

TMO couldn’t have dreamed of a better salesman.

@e1 Probably because no one claimed Disney didn't raise their prices.

Dan said "We will not raise prices without adding corresponding value for our customers" not "We will not raise prices without adding corresponding value for our customers except when Disney increases their rates for Verizon to carry their programming."

And what about Apple Music Family and Apple One Family and Movie Lovers on Simplicity. They went up with no mention of Disney.

Maybe he should have said, "We will not raise prices without adding corresponding value for our customers unless we have to raise prices for some other reason in which case we will not add anything of corresponding value for our customers."

Why not add the rest of the article:

Disney recently confirmed several price increases for its streaming bundles. Beginning on Sept. 17, its Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Select Bundle Basic plan (includes ads) will spike from $19.99 per month to $21.99.
The premium version of this plan (without Disney+ and Hulu ads) is also jumping from $29.99 to $32.99.

Price increases stink but Disney raised the price and the perk price matched to reflect …it’s STILL cheaper via the perk than going though Disney by $10

Wasn't there a post on here not long ago about a survey asking what it would take to keep Verizon customers from leaving? And the main result was lower plans and prices or at least no increases? I wonder how this will play out. Maybe having it all fall apart after September is part of the plan?

Once a liar always a liar. A spade is spade. Just cant help himself.

So "Verizon Turns to Google for Its Next AI Push" after Google replaced it on the Dow.

Now Google will delight Verizon customers by helping them cancel perks through Verizon's own app.

Verizon "Don't blame us. It's Disney's fault."

You can't write comedy this good.

@a2 cfo has pigs with 1980s haircuts on his team. they all need hormonal supplements or they’d start growing mustashes

Now T&A comnercial CMO launched makes since... there's the value to offset price up!

Asked Google if Verizon is going to increase prices in September. The last line got me.

Yes, Verizon is raising prices on several streaming and subscription perks starting in September 2026.

Streaming and Add-on Price HikesDisney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ (with ads): Increasing from $10 to $12 per month starting September 17, 2026.

Ad-free Premium Disney Upgrade: Increasing from $20 to $23 per month on September 17, 2026.

For Movie Lovers on Simplicity: Rising from $23 to $25 per month on September 17, 2026.

Legacy Disney Bundle: Moving from $24.99 to $27.99 per month on September 17, 2026. (The $15 legacy bundle remains unchanged.)

Apple Music Family: Increasing from $10 to $13 per month starting September 1, 2026.

Apple One Family / Apple Bundle with Simplicity: Climbing from $20 to $23 per month starting September 1, 2026.

Would you like to know how to cancel or change your perks through the My Verizon app before the new charges take effect?

@OP All aboard!!! The T Mobile Train.

I knew that simplicity was a scam! Gladly keeping my 5g get more legacy plan with no price increase for disney. Thanks Hans for the legacy plan that keeps on giving!

Dan CEO Is a fraud. We won't hike prices without adding value. Bills going up and no incremental value.

CEO CFO and CMO all putting lipstick on a pig.

All about incremental short term stock price.

Zero strategy
