But then MCI is the one running fiber to all of the Verizon Wireless sites, so that doesn't help in de-muddying the 
waters.

Verizon Business is the fixed line business focused entity, formerly MCI and UUNET. Verizon Wireless is the wireless 
business entity.

For me it is some AS 6167 destinations.

I am not sure how I am supposed to accurately or authoritatively discern the differences in specific IP prefixes (or 
ASNs) as to whether they are are used in the Verizon Wireless, Verizon Business, Verizon XYZ, etc. 
I am also not sure what the value would be understanding the difference as I have zero contacts at any Verizon entity: 
Wireless, Business, or any other. 


I imagine at some level, there is a parent Verizon umbrella organization that is ultimately responsible for all 
underling organizations/divisions but I am not particularly interested in trying to pick apart the business silos of 
Verizon and then from there trying to chase down specific Verizon entity contacts to try and figure out who, might be 
the right contact to look into this. I have made efforts, prior to this NANOG thread even starting, to get this issue 
rectified but I have had zero luck so far getting any appropriate person at Verizon to take notice. 


It kind of feels like trying to reach out to some company regarding a geolocation or IP-reputation type issue... just a 
lot of "Sorry, I don't know. try this other group that you already talked to" or simply "piss off" type responses. Both 
of which I have received in sizable quantities. Now that my brain is on that tangent, my favorite geolocation response 
was when I was told "your ISP needs to set the correct bits in the IP packets to designate the traffic as coming from 
the correct geography." I laughed and I cried at that one.

For a good long while (months) we have had similar issues with various Verizon destinations.

Only Verizon Wireless destinations, or other Verizon Business things? 

As of today, I'm told (via an upstream provider) that Verizon Business says this is a Verizon Wireless issue.
