Not particularly in love with Verizon but consider what someone needed
to pay Bell Telephone in today's dollars vs Verizon or most other
carriers. People want cheap. They got it.

I have suffered thru FIOS HELL

Including a noisey router so 1 of 12 callers couldnt be heard thru the
static, had to call every day for 3 weeks to get it finally fixed, it
was a bad router at the central office. not bad iunside wiring every
rep said that.

I get at least one mailing daily and many verizon sales people at my
door, even after calling the police on one who didnt have a permit,
the last couple said they were verizon contractors but refused to
identify their employeer.

I could of heated my home for the wnter by burning all the flyers they
send.

my FIOS backup battery failed after 6 months causing a alarm beeping.
they wanted me to pay for the replacement battery which was supposed
to last 6 or 8 years. they finally agreed it should be covered under
warranty but it took over 2 weeks to get a replacement battery. worse
reps dont know about the alarm silence button.

attempts to cancel for poor service gets your under 2 year contract
the penalty is hundreds of dollars.

I WILL NEVER BE UNDER CONTRACT WITH VERIZON FOR ANYTHING!

if it works great if you have a problem your out of
luck, ..............

and in for lots of frustration
