This is (good) SEO linkbait. Someone at Verizon got $10k to spend getting it created by saying it will boost organic search traffic to Verizon. Right now (during link-building phase) they keep the page completely separate from rest of site. Later, (after most links are created) they'll change it. Not sure whether the goal is just to generally build authority to VerizonInternet, or to get this URL ranking for wifi keywords. (Seems more likely the former.)


The promoted embed snippet actually points to a different URL: http://www.verizoninternet.com/bookmark/guides/how-wifi-work... which contains a bunch of site gunk for their "bookmark" blog, where they post a lot of content (and probably some net "neutrality" articles coming soon?)


Would it be accurate to assume this is gonna be used as ammo in the net neutrality debate of the next few weeks?


Are you saying they'll change the content later, and won't lose seojuice for that?


That page probably cost a lot more than 10K.


Absolutely. They did a great job too

Maybe they could have done a good job instead of a great job and this page would actually work.

Not mention the font size issues and overlapping text, luckily they provide images at the bottom that do not have the problem.

When you have to provide images at the bottom as a workaround, it usually means you know there are issues with the page and the job is not that great.

Then again, as pointed in other comments here some of the technical information is incorrect or just plain wrong.
