In yet another chapter of phone companies and MSOs suing each other over advertising claims, Verizon has filed a claim against Time Warner Cable (TWC)  over a series of advertisements that TWC has been running.

TWC says the claims are without merit.

An example of the ads Verizon objects to resides here.
