Verizon Sucks, PERIOD.

I tried several months ago to get DSL service, for 7 years I have waited for service and now when I go to the verizon website and enter my number I get "congratulations, DSL service is available on this number".

Or is it?

I got my confirmation, a few days later I got my modem and start date, 10 days later I get an e-mail saying, sorry, DSL service is not available to your number!

So I send the junk back and wait, a couple of days pass and I check my number on there site again, this time its not available.

So several months pass and I happened to check my phone bill online and it told me again I could get DSL, I called one of there pushy sales reps who told me to go for it! so I did, I got my confirmation e-mail again, I got my equipment again and 6 days later I got the "DSL IS NOT AVAILABLE" e-mail.

Why do they play head games with people, I am not that far outside of a BIG university town of more then 23,000 students, guess where the DSL/FIOS is...

So I pay the same amount as anyone in town for my phone service, in 7 years I know they have had 2 major upgrades, one to DSL and the other to FIOS, I still sit with a Dial Up connection, but verizon wants to offer me dial up, is that an insult or what?

Verizon like most other corporations needs to be broken up and made smaller, its obvious they cannot or will not talk or listen to there customers, even 3rd world countries have DSL.

That's a bot dude. That's messed up.

You can tell it's a bot from the way it answers questions. It has a few pre-programmed responses, and most of those sound like pure BS.

Verizon only cares about getting your money. For those who are considering getting their service heres a peice of advice. RUN! I was with Cavalier for 2 years had no problems with billing and hidden fees. Service worked perfectly. I switched to Verizon thinking I was getting a better deal on the Bundle Packages. Even before my service was installed, I received letters saying that I was going to be charged full price. When I called customer service they said one thing but the billing statments was saying another. I finally decided its not worth all the headache and I switched back to Cavalier but not before reporting their asses to the PA State Attorney Generals Office for deceptive Advertising and fraud billing. I then took the liberty of reporting them to the Public Utilities Commission. I have read 100's of complaints online about verizon. Heres the thing. Its important that you inform Agencies of the underhanded practices of Verizon. That is how laws get changed. So please if you have a problem take 10 minutes to google your Attorney Generals office and Public Utility Commission and then contact them. Lets get the word out about Verizon.
