Problem with credit limit- no pay per view
The world's most advanced 4G Communication company has no ability to communicate among their own departments, according to the Customer Service reps. REALLY?! They have you calling various numbers, none of whom fixed my problem. THE WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

Rude and unknowable customer reps
I became disabled May of last year around July I called and informed Verizon that I wanted to lower my bill. They talked me into the most expensive package telling me that if I made some changes to my phone that with the CA care program my bill would be around $77.00 per month. This change kicked me out of the care program which gives us a discount and my bill was approx. $149 which was higher before I made the phone call. It took me approx. 4 months to get the problem resolved and that was after they disconnected my service. Upon restoring my services and giving me $30 dollars a month discounts some told them I ordered internet which I had already thru verizon wireless. When he called to come out to my house I informed him I did not make any changes to my plan and for him not to come out. I call verizon and they agreed I did not request internet. Somehow they started billling me under $20.00 a month and I had a lot of discounts. A week ago I receive a bill for $305.00 they stated that they inadvertenly stopped billing me for my services and I had under 2 weeks to come up with the money. I explained I was on disability and I should not have to suffer for their mistakes. I told her I didnt care about internet because I would go to small claims or complain to someone and resolve that BUT i needed my phone she told me I had to March 8 to pay the phone portion of the bill which I believe is incorrect. My total bill was to be around 77.00 so how can my phone service be 55.00 per month with my care discount. On March 1 they disconnect my phone and cable. I'm on disability due to PTSD, Panic Disorders, Hypertension and Major Depression they are STRESSING ME OUT AND IT IS UNCALLED FOR. They are not professional and not that knowledgeable about what there doing and VERY RUDE WITH A NON CARING ATTITUDE.

No cell phone answering capability on my land line
I recently signed up for Verizon FIOS TV, Internet and Phone and now my son and daughter and law cannot call us from their cell phones in Nevada to our land line in Virginia. Also, people in Pennsylvania cannot do the same. I have called Verizon six times complaining and have gotten no satisfaction. Each time I called I was told a technician was being assigned and I should receive an email or telephone call within 24 hours. I have never received either an email or a telephone call and the problem still persists. I do not recommend Verizon wireless to anyone. God forbid when they get the Iphone.

SERVICE , SPEED
I used to think that FIOS was the best of ISP ..fast speeds. That was until I got it. This is SLOOOOOW - I have run speed tests on it a number of time . My speed has never been what I used to get with another ISP ( not FIOS) associated with a large media company.
The Router they provide has wireless B/G only and not N. Range is pathetic, with only a bar - within the house and I dont have a monster size house.
On cable HDMI would not work. Sound kept cutting out. So they fixed me up with component cables.I think my picture quality has dropped, though the sound does not cut out.
Channel selection - well I should have know better.I went forFIOS for fast internet, but now I don't have fast internet and I have a pathetic selection as compared to the earlier ISP.
WILL get out of it as soon as I can. 2 yr contract !!!###$$$$

Poor support and customer service
My switch to Verizon FIOS has been nothing but a nightmare since day 1. Was promised certain services and after receiving first bill contacted them. Will admit they did finally decide to credit my bill almost the cost difference for the premium channel package hboiwever it took me threatening to return to competitor cable firm.
Fast forward a few months - had problem with my local HD channels, notified via phone (never did reach anyone) and via on line support. Magically the problem disappeared which lead me to belive something was done from their offices to correct the problem. A few weeks later problem was really bad again, contacted customer service - took over 25 minutes to reach a real person). He informed me that it would be at least 2 days until someone could be available to correct - this meant I had to cancel my plans or be without the HD channels for over a week - the next time they could be there.
Scheduled the appointment and the next morning received call that the problem had been corrected. Upon arriving home this was a falsehood. Again on the phone - after 10 minutes reached someone at the number they had told me to call ony to have him tell me that the servers were down and to call another number. Called that number and after 15 minutes reached someone she then transferred me elsewhere - this person again asked for my account info and identity. After another 15 minutes told could not help and would transfer to another person. After all this finally another person . All this (over 45 minutes) just to to confirm that my next day appointment was still intact. Fast forward after repair - ended up being 2 bad switches which was effecting my HD channels and internet speed - told to call to receive credit. Attempted the on-line support (never did hear from them) ands called CS line This time the response time was quicker. Girl told me she needed to call me back so she could check my downtime. n Was called back quickly and told my credit would only be $6.83. Told her how unhappy I was and that this is horrible for someone who had so so reception and slow internet service since the install. She informed that can only credit the 2 out of service days - because I'd never called them previously (I didn't have any comparison to know that the picture was sub par and internet slower then what promised).
Told her I was very unhappy and that I'd already started telling others to not make the switch to Verizon. Decided to cancel 2 of my premium channels - no effort to keep me from cancelling. Told her that I suggest that someone from customer service give me a call - said nothing she could so or a way for her to notify someone to contact a disgruntled customer. Finally she said about a supervisor and I said go ahead and transfer me.
Waited almost 5 minutes and finally hung up - Verizon has received enough of my time. They advertise good customer service and quick repair however that's far from the truth.

Contract Charges go up
I had a door to door salesperson come by my house last November and sell me on a two year pricing plan that was less than what I was paying for my Comcast. After 4 months my bill started a steady rise and one year later I am paying $25.00 more than I was with Comcast. Bait and switch tactic and so I called in Auugust and asked to be reimbursed for the billing error. Met by a very rude woman who said I was in the right plan and that was proper for what I signed up for. I found only the pink slip that the salesperson(Justin) said those prices don't matter, the contract will be recorded and I will be the creator(Don't worry). I will change back to Comcast next week and call the BBB before I am done dealing with this mess. Customer service is terrible and the prices outrageous. Never again. Buyer beware!!!

Security Deposit was not credited back to Final Bill
I had taken verizon FIOS Internet and Phone on first week of september. The order number was OF7352313. As I was new to United States I didn't have credit history at that time they took $125.00 as security deposit and it was assured that this would be adjusted in the final bill upon closure of connection. The phone number that I had taken was 813-321-3322. After using the services I realized that the spped is not as much as mentioned by the customamare care executive. Upon investigation I found that it was always 7 or 8 MBPS whereas they took money for 15 MBPS. I didn't wanted to continue with this service and terminated the connection on last week of september. Till then they are assuring that in Final Bill the initial security deposit will be adjusted and I will get the remaining money back. I called verizon for more than 20 times and they were unable to address the issue. In middle of november they started accusing me for not paying bills where the actual situation is they are trying to digest the initial security deposit. I sent the bank details of the $125.00 payment but they didn't took any action on that. They are transferring calls from one department to another and harrasing me for last one month. As the bill is pending my credit history is going down. I never expected this kind of service from a leading service provider. Please help me in any way if you can. I want to sue this kind of service in United States.

Not the deal they tell you it is!
They offer you great prices over the phone for triple plan, but when your first bill comes, watch out! My first bill (with $40 a month cell service added) was $360! AFter months of complaining it only came down to $320! When I explained the prices I was given over the phone, I was told "we wouldn't have said that" repeatedly, and they refuse to let you speak with a manager or supervisor. I wrote 2 letters, no response! Every month there was another erroneous charge that you have to spend 45 minutes on the phone to get removed. Not to mention $60 a month in taxes and fees that they don't tell you about beforehand. I understand FCC charges, but cable doesn't have to charge these fees. They tell you your first bill will have $50 credit, never happened. They told me $24 credit in May (which was actually for another overcharge) was also for overcharging us for free HBO trial in Oct! (Are they trying to say they knew back in May they would overcharge us this amount in October?)Oh, and we had to reboot internet router every 6-7 days because in their words "it had fallen asleep". They didn't offer to replace it until the night before we switched back to Cablevision. Can you believe the stupidity of it all! The aggravation was too much. After 7 months, dumped Verizon and went back to Cablevision for $95 a month WITH taxes! At least they're local and care enough to work with you. Cablevision also gives you a written invoice with agreed upon prices. Verizon leaves it an open variable to allow them to charge what they want, not what was promised. Verizon is national and it's employees don't give a crap. Decent product, BAD service.

Customer Svc
God what a nightmare! I ordered FIOS 2 weeks ago by calling a telephone number advertised at Verizon. I spoke with "Abel" who then transferred me to "Bernard." Both seemed to have a similar accent. I placed the order and was assured there would be no problems. The following week I determined that the "porting of my present telephone number was not compelte" leaving me no choice but to cancel/reschedule. After 14 calls I was able to reschedule with the assurance Verizon would take the necessary steps to complete the transfer of services. The installation would take place between 8-12. Today I waited, waited, waited, until 5:40 only to find out the installation hadn't been scheduled! WTF!!! I had lost a days work and was no closer to having FIOS than 2 weeks ago. I called and spoke to someone who transfered me to an incompetent who wanted to record me agreeing to incorrect information. When I said no, the line went dead. When I tried to call back the office was closed. Tomorrow I will call Verizon and terminate the order and stay with my present provider at a much higher cost so as not to go through this crap again. I am in the people business and will make sure that I spread the word of how incompetent I have found their whole support system to be. What a nightmare!

Fraud
I was paying $172 a month for Comcast. My husband lost his job and we were looking for ways to save. Rec'd ads for FIOS at $89.99. Spoke to customer service, who assured me that they would "throw in" the boxes and would charge just $119. per month including DDR service. Just got my first bill - they want $181.67, more than I was paying for Comcast. Seems they changed out my d-link wireless router and charged $139.99, which is an inflated price for a router, for their version. The installation tech never told me that this would be charged to me, or why he was doing so. The bill is full of extra charges. I can't even speak to a supervisor immediately - they say I'll get a call within 24 hours. The supervisors must be very busy talking to irate new FIOS customers. I am going back to Comcast if they don't pare down this bill. I'm also writing to every state and federal consumer bureau I can.
