7. Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ)

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) is another telecom company that landed on the list. Both AT&T Inc (NYSE:T), which was mentioned previously, and Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) have the largest market shares in the telecom market, so they formed a sort-of oligopoly on the US market. This allows them to charge higher prices and spend less on infrastructure, which results in their low ratings from consumers.
