Does anyone have experience with Verizon DSL in their home?
Verizon's DSL service has been literally flawless to me. I've
been on it since May this year. Their Phone service is ok too I
suppose, I only use local service on the phone and have all long
distance locked out ( cell phones are great for cheeeeeep LD). The
only Issue I have had with Verizon to this day, is that they will let
any ole yahoo add services to your existing phone service without the
account holders permission.
I keep getting bills with crap on it that I never ordered, OK
'd, or anything. I know how it happens now, and have it "fixed" they
say with a total lockout for any changes to my bill without MY
permission. That means they MUST now ask for verification of who you
are before they will change anything now...........I highly recommend
this to ALL people with ANY phone service.
Here's how stuff like this happens................
My Wife's Daughter screwed up and did some "moving" and ended up
having to move back to TX from Florida after just a few weeks. WE
afforded them a place to stay ( our home ) so they could get their act
back together and get a place to live and such. While they were here ,
she was online whenever she could find a reason to be, and did some of
those "win a free.........." by filling out this survey, and some
other silly crap that popped up and intrigued her............no
telling how many of these she did respond to, but at least one or two.
In the "win a free........." agreement, that you have to OK at
the survey or whatever, there's a little clause that signs you up for
some third party voicemail crap from a company called OAN. She just
entered the local Phone number she was using and it slapped on the
14.95 a month.....................to MY bill. Not hers mind
you...............
After calling the given numbers for the phone company they
said that using your phone number to "apply" for things is legally ok
no matter who is using it. The Goofball I was talking to named "Risa"
told me my phone number was just like using a credit card number. once
you give it out, anyone can use it for whatever they want.......and
that all the company that is charging has to do is send the bill to
the phone company and they are obliged to charge it to that phone
number............What a CROCK huh?
It took me two months of billing cycles to kill this "service"
that was added to my bill by an unauthorized person. I had to demand
the phone company "put a note on my account for a lockout to any
changes by anyone other than myself". Yeah,...............not even my
Wife can change it without me there.
This almost caused me to change my DSL service over to SBC. I
may still do that. SBC is much cheaper around here, and has gone much
cheaper since I signed up with Verizon.
This doesn't even explain to me how a child can add LD to my
line two years ago either. All of this was within the last couple of
months.
Anybody have any input on SBC in the DFW metroplex in
TEXAS????
Thanks for allowing my to use up some Bandwidth.
