I find that Verizon is better in rural areas than Fi. In the cities I cant
tell the difference. My girlfriend recently switched to Verizon
pay-as-you-go service and it seems much better than constant
shenanigans of her previous Verizon contract.

In response to both MGD and SAS:
OK. But again we're arguing about how many angels can dance on a pin, right?
It's like distinguishing between objects and processes, nodes and edges.
Property implies a kind of control and vice versa. So, whether you "own a
means" or "control a thing" is irrelev

I only argue the point because I personally do not have as clear of a
