After a number of transfers through an automated system, I was brought back to a prompt that asked if I conncet through DSL or by phone, I hung up. I then send an email to support@verizon.net. After an hour or so, I recieved a response stating that they would get back to me within a day. Today I get an email instructing me to call the DSL department. I write back and tell them I have FIOS. An hour later I get another email with the phone number for the FIOS department. They were able to get my email working again and inform that it had been disconnected because or the cancelled work order I had. I told them I have concerns about my other services and they tranferred me to billing. I told billing the nighmare I had been go through for the last two weeks. I got what seemed like a competent person that assured me everything is now straightened out. If things are not straightend out by the time I move, I wll be getting rid of Verizon phone, Internet, TV, and Cell phone service, we shell see.
Sounds about right. I have at least 8 similar stories in the past year. Don't bother with the $99/month Triple Freedom, it took them 7 months to get it half right, and my bill goes up every month and I have to call them. I go thru the BS phone menu, then get someone that doesn't know what's going on. Then transfer me and I get cut off. Over and over again. My neighborhood doesn't have FIOS, although when it works, I hear it is good. I'm getting 2 new laptops with PC cards, keeping Direct TV, and bailing out of the landline/ DSL BS. Were finally cutting the cord, so to speak, and will just use cell phones.
