"For those who don't know Telefónica, it's something akin to T-Mobile or AT&T [...] they had to change the name and branding of their phone division [...] because people hated them so much."

Comcast. The word you're looking for is Comcast.

More similar would be Verizon which was the despised GTE back in the 1980s.

Here in NYC, Verizon was the despised NYNEX.

A more recent example would be the merger of the despised Time Warner Cable with Charter, now renamed to Spectrum.
