Monopoly
There is a land line phone monopoly in Michigan. FCC has no control of telecommunications here. It is ran by the state. Only Verizon services the area I live in. And when you have a cell phone, Verizon does not set up enough towers to communicate in the Rural areas of Michigan. I want a choice of local long distance, but I must enroll only in Verizon. Though Verizon denies this accusation, I cannot chose my land line phone carrier in my area. With technology advancing, something has to give. Phone carriers have to stop filing lawsuits against each other and running each other out of town. And they have to cross lines to communicate. Otherwise, you can shut a whole section of the state down if a phone company controls it. I don't want technology shoved down my throat. If I can't get service here, I will move where I can have the freedom to choose my phone carrier in my house.

Customer Service
My bank made a payment via Bank Pay, and Verizon lost it for over two months. My bank faxed them proof of payment; Verizon denied that they ever received such fax. They suspended my service three times, even though they were conducting an investigation as to the "lost payment."
The third time, when I called (the only call I could make was to Verizon), the only department I could be connected to was their equivalent of collections. I asked that they call my bank to have the fax resent. They cannot call out. Five times I went round and round trying to get Customer Care -- on various such calls I was disconnected, sent back to the automated message, sent back to collections -- I cannot remember how many times.
The sixth time is simply unbelievable:
A very nice woman told me that my account was delinquent.
I said it was not and that my bank had faxed proof of payment.
She said they did not receive it.
I asked her to call; she cannot call out.
I asked that my phone be reinstated so that I could call my bank. She could not -- my account was delinquent.
It is not, there is an investigation.
You have to have your bank send proof.
I cannot call out.
That is because your account is delinquent.
It is not.
Have your bank send proof.
I cannot call out. Can you call?
No.
Then reinstate my account so I can call.
Your account is delinquent...
Six times we went around like that. I asked for a supervisor. I asked him if he could call out. Yes, but I had to give him the phone number. While I was looking for that, he found the lost payment. In fifteen seconds! It had taken the rest of the company two months and three disruptions of my service and they still hadn't found it. Then I asked him if he would waive the early termination fee so that I could just get away from Verizon for good. He told me it had been my fault in the first place. No remorse, no apology, no accommodation for the many hours and extreme frustration Verizon had caused!

They do not offer a sleep timer
I am actually enjoying my Fios, which I have through my room mate's account. However, there are two issues I would like to address. The first being that I CAN NOT believe that, of all the features that you offer, Fios does not offer SLEEP TIMER! Really need it! The second issue is that the format that you use for the music channels is kind of ridiculous. The "similar" and "inspired by" posts are usually really off base, the artist playing is not pictured and the artist and song are not posted throughout the song.

Terrible customer service, do not care how they do their jobs
It seems customer service is with clerks who have very little care how they are doing their job.

When you get through to a live person they are rude and condescending
I have been a verizon phone customer for years with little to no problem and then... I was talked into ordering FIOS tripleplay - for 6 months I was overcharged, each time I paid a bill they would say I then owed outrageous amounts for the next month, as high as $511 ! Finally bill straightened out and down to 0 but again the outrageous bills, can't get through to billing by phone and when you do they tell me the bill is high because of my inconsistant payments! I've got to pay something so I do but if I pay what they sya I owe then it is like I am acknowledging the charges. Anyway, I have paid about $800 for 6 months of service at 130/month, about right but I currently have an outstanding balance of $500 !!! When you do get through to a live person they are rude and condescending and blame me for the high bell because of my inconsistant payment history! I have contacted a consumer advocacy agent and am awaiting a reply. Next is the Atty. General's office and the FTC. DO NOT ORDER FIOS!!

I want to make everyone aware of the termination dates for mobile lines you might have for your children with Verizon
I want to make everyone aware of the termination dates for mobile lines you might have for your children with Verizon . My son recently graduated from college and with his new job (thank the heavens) came a new Verizon phone that he is authorized to use for his personal calls as well as business etc.. So I called Verizon to close out the line he has had since a freshman in high school and I was told that the cost of closing the line would be $100.00! Now I understand early termination and all that it means but as a long time customer of Verizon with 4 lines I am somewhat shocked at Verizon and their lack of what a "Family Plan" really means.I think Verizon means you keep the lines for life! The service reps could not understand why my son just didn't want to keep the line or why I just shouldn't pay the fee. I asked the agent if he could explain what the loss was to Verizon for the closing out the line and having my son go to another Verizon account with a more expensive phone and a more expensive plan, but no one could explain it. Seems like once in a Family Plan you need to be very much aware of the dates for termination of the lines tied to the agreement. I have another son in college now who will graduate in two years so we will need to terminate his line early and put him on his own line let him decide if he wants to stay with Verizon. Seems like Verizon is missing the boat here on transitioning young adults into the workforce. Just as they move out into the world Verizon gives us a reason not to stay with them as a carrier. Seems like Verizon's marketing group is really missing the boat on this.

Bundle of Garbage
I signed up for the Verizon Triple Play bundle back in mid-April. I was entitled to a land-line, internet, and Directv with this package. Needless to say, I regret the decision to sign up with Verizon ever since. From day one, I have had nothing but trouble. When the Directv technicians showed up to my house to install service, we discovered the Verizon representative (Yvonne S.) that took my original order messed up the information. We were able to get that straighted out, but only after having to submit a credit card to Directv. I spent quite a bit of time with Verizon on the phone trying to fix this and was assured my account was okay. Well, they were wrong. Some time goes by and I received bills from both Verizon and Directv, not the bundled bill for all three services that I was promised. Verizon said this was normal and could take another billing cycle before Directv processed my bill properly. I have since spent significantly more for my bill that I am supposed to. I have spoken with MULTIPLE Verizon representatives a number of times. Every time I call, I am told different things. It's like playing roulette! You get a different answer every time. I wish there was consistent training for the customer service representatives. No one knows what they are talking about over there. Last night, I called and spoke with Directv to see if they had any information on my account. They informed me that their notes indicate that Verizon attempted ONLY ONCE on April 29th to put me into the proper bundle package. Upon finding this out, I am FURIOUS! Verizon has been leading me astray this entire time. I entered into a contract with them. If I hadn't upheld my end of the bargain, they would have charged me all kinds of fees. I'm doing my part... now they aren't upholding their end of the bargain and I am paying $60 extra a month because of it. If I don't pay, it will impact my credit so I don't have a choice. They continue to lie to me. They continue to tell me false information. They continue to neglect the contract that we have entered into. I am going to post this information on every website, blog, social media site, news site, etc. that I can find until someone can give me straight answers. VERIZON IS RUNNING A SCAM AND I AM THE VICTIM! My next stop is going to be the Better Business Bureau!

Poor customer service
My intrnet went down 2 days prior to my grand opening and the customer service rep said that the tech would be working on it the next day which was a Friday and also the first day of my grand opening at my store which is pet grooming and retail. I had events planed and was told it would be fixed before the afternoon. So when it was not fixed I called Verizon and the customer service rep said that they made a mistake on the ticket and had to resubmit the ticket. I was then told that I would have to wait until Monday and that there was nothing they could do. I explained that I needed this fixed and that it was my grand opening and that I would be unable to process credit cards with out internet service. I asked if I could talk to a supervisor to see if something could be done. I was put on hold for a long time then when the rep came back he said they are busy and are just passing the message along that it would be Monday before anything could be done. I was told that business have top priority and that they should have fixed it asap business have top priority and this was on Monday after my internet was fixed. Also the managers that stoped by said if the tech is doing his job you should receive a follow up call..it never came. This is a horrible way to treat customers not to mention the lost of sales.

Didn't honor the unlimited data plan
I had an old Verizon Unlimited Data plan that I wanted to continue after it expeired. I recommitted in Feb 10'. I have now found out that because I exceeded 5g's of download that my service is reduced to dial up speed and I have been turned over to the fraud department. I used 6 g's the month before and 5.5 g's the previous month - that was all it took for them to reduce my service. Someone HELP - I do not see how this is leagl... Has this happened to anyone else? Do you know of anything that I can do?
