It is 10:15 am Thursday, November 15th 2007. I should be at work right now, but instead I am at home on the phone on hold with Chris and Ms. Stamper (some sort of supervisor Verizon supervisors). I have resigned to the fact that I will eventually have to get rid of this service if not in protest if nothing else. I truly want to warn everyone that before you get Verizon FIOS as with any strenuous exercise make sure you check with your physician first (It could be hazardous to your health).

In theory Verizon FIOS Triple Play makes alot of sense, however Verizon has no godly idea of how to make it happen without sending thier customers through a coronary.

I HATE VERIZON FIOS, Phone, TV and Internet and thier so called customer service, billing, management, etc.

I have been trying to get them to bill all three services phone, tv and internet on one bill for an entire year and they refuse to do it or they just can't do it.

I have received no less than 4 separate account numbers and if I do not pay the right amount on the right account I'm screwed. One or all of my services are cut off and I have to screem until I'm horse and then pay the inflated amount now owed because whatever payments I've made did not get applied to my TV or whatever service is being interrupted. Today for the 4th day this week and for the third time in a year its my TV.

It is apparent that All they want is thier money, they do not care about customer satisfaction. If I was so inclined to get the wireless service I am not never going to get another thing from Verizon.

Why? Cause I HATE VERIZON FIOS, Phone, TV and Internet and thier so called customer service, billing, management, etc.

The date is November 12th and the exact same thing is happening to me. Please this is a class action suit waiting to be had. This has been going on since August for me and I am sick of it. I was promised in writing that I would have one easy to read bill from Verizon every month that would include phone, internet and direct tv. What a FRAUD verizon is. I have spent hours on the telephone in tears trying to get this resolved. How many people have been lied to out there??? I think we need to stand together and hire an attorney. I believe we would have quite the case. I have letters from Verizon and Direct TV with there promises that they have not kept. Please send me feedback I want to know how many people have been scammed.

I've had similar problems with their billing department. I was a FIOS internet customer only. When I called on 10/30/2007 to verify that my account was closed, I was told that I would receive my final bill in the mail. I also returned my data router in person to their White Plains, NY office that day. I called on 12/12/2007 to make sure that my account was paid in full and closed because I did not receive the bill in the mail. I was then informed that because I was a data-only customer, I cannot get a paper bill sent out. The rep informed me that my account was completely paid in full and to "trust her". I was then charged on my credit card for about $107 due to an unreturned router on 12/21/2007. On 12/27/2007, I was given a "credit" and told to wait 1-2 business days for it to appear on my statement. I found out later that the credit was issued for $99 (and I still do not know to this day what the extra $8 was for). I called on 1/04/2008 because I had not yet received the credit, and then I was told that the $107 would happen in 1-2 billing cycles and that the extra $8 was for processing from the facility where I returned the router in person. When I called on 1/16/2007, I was told that there was no record of the 1/4/2008 call, but there was a record of the 12/27/2008 call. In all of this, no one anywhere in Verizon could give me any sort of written confirmation of anything spoken of. I've only written about 5% of the conversations/trials that I've gone through in the past 3 months. I can say that each person I talk to has refuted the person before, and that without any written confirmation sent to me, it's always been my word against theirs. Verizon Customer Service, especially their billling department, is TERRIBLE. I don't remember waiting less than 20 minutes ever to speak with a representative. After 3 months of this, I've resorted to disputing the charge with my credit card company. Hopefully, they'll have better luck than me.

BBB has ZERO power

File in small claims court. Bring PAPER proof: contracts, communications, transactions


Verizon CANNOT be trusted. TimeWarner cable offers 15 megabits per second in many markets.

I agree 100%, I don't know how this company continue to survive with the scam and the worst customer service in the States. I contacted Fios to transfer my service from Cable vision which I was told it would cut my Bill by 50%( 3Bundle), My only condition was, I need to keep my home number because I use it for work and also because some financial institutions need to confirm that I am calling from my home be for connecting me to review my Accounts. The Customers service from Fios Assured me that I will have that number operational within 5 to 10 Business Days and in the mean while I will be assigned a Temporary one(Big Mistake)They dragged me to the 18 Day be for they tell me that the Number that I am requesting can not be assigned from the region I am in ( info that could of been noticed during my initial signing, it took 30 Sec for one of their agent to tell me ''they should not of promised you that number Because it can't be assigned by Verizon'')and that I will have to make the number I was assigned as permanent .of course I refused and went back to Cablevision and got my number back(very lucky ).a week later I received a Bill 300and Plus which included and early service termination fee of $190.00.when I called back they said I had 15days to cancel my Contract, and since you had the service for 18days you are liable to Pay for those fees. Verison Fios Scammed to stay up to the 18Days by assuring me every day I called that the Number I have requested will be up and running before the 15th Day even if they knew that this would never happened. I am agreed to Pay from TV/Internet and Telephone for those 18Days but refuse to Pay the early termination fee. Does any one know how to fight this, I don't want this to affect my Credit Score .I called dozens of time their Customer Service is the worst in the States.

My complaints with Fios bundle are too numerous to go into without spending another full day . Cannot even reach customer complaint dept. Keep getting disconnected. The one (almost) comical part of the problems include my TVs. going on in the middle of the night!
I would like to try cancelling my accts. and NOT paying the $190.00 cancellation fee, but that would probably create credit probs. Trying to rectfy that would most likely takes years. Can someone HELP me?

Verizon didn't scam me on FIOS but on phone service and DSL. For a year all i had were problems from adding services to my DSL service to depositing my payments in some else s account, and having the audacity to put my account in collections. if i wanted to fix their latest screw up i still had to pay the post office to investigate a $60.00 money order, that they credited to a stranger as well as an $80.00 dollar check. They think i am working to pay someone everyone elses phone or DSL bill. Verizon also decided they could go in to my bank account monthly to collect my monthly DSL bill, causing me problems with my bank and incurring fees totally $90.00. Every time i called they would say they wouldn't charge my account, and then they would go ahead and charge it to my bank account. Dsl customer claims i changed my payment method when all i did was a one time payment and followed the instruction given by their customer service employee. I switched to Vonage nearly a year ago, they have outstanding customer service and there are no surprises at the end on the month. They also fix billing issues immediately 24/7. Verizon and Verizon wireless are in business to scaming their customers, and the attitude Verizon customer service employees is the worst I've ever had to deal with, they are rude, arrogant and have no respect. I wish you all lots of luck. I still believe the best is canceling Verizon services and giving your hard working money to another telecommunication provider. I don't understand how they are still in business. I don't miss screaming on the phone, repeating my self thousands of time cause they refuse to call a manager and are always apologizing. i would tell them how pathetic it was because they weren't making an effort to change their business ethics. I believe that this company will continue to scam their customers as long as they continue to use their services. I am proud that today i made my last payment to Verizon and have no intention of ever doing business with this company again. I lost to much money. They came in to fix my neighbors phone and they messed up my DSL than i had no phone service for 4 days because my Vonage depended on their DSL. For all those having problems try the better bureau, small claims court, but my problems went on for nearly a year, keep in mind the nightmare might not end over night. but if your patient and don't want to loose your money keep on calling until they correct the problem.

I am a 63 year old senior that made the biggest mistake of my life when I called Verizon on Nov. 11, 2007 to inquire about my billing and then thought it was taken care of and I ordered the Internet Security Suite 3 and the very next day they instead removed my caller I D and did not give me the Internet Security Suite 3 even though I was given a ticket number I received a letter thanking me and then I saw where they removed caller I D and then called back on Nov 17 and spent 50 minutes on hold and got sick of holding and hung up. Called back on Nov 18 and spoke to nine ( 9 )!!! different agents total time 1 hour and 30 minutes ( 90 minutes ) and was given a promise that this time it would be taken care of, what a joke!!! called back on Nov 19 and spoke to 4 more agents, I want to add that Rhonda was sooooo rude I could not believe it finally transfered to other department and spoke to Michelle, she gave me a new ticket order number said it would be taken care of. Checked my email today and nothing no Security Suite 3. Did not want to call but what choice do I have, none, if I don't want to see the charge on my bill for something that I did not get I had to call Verizon again spoke to Bill at Fios, he stated that he did not see that ticket number in my account and the only thing he was concerned about was speaking to my husband who I have been married to for 45 years as he stated I did not have approval on the account I have been a loyal customer for 35 to 40 years back when it was GTE and now Verizon and have never been asked to put my husband on the line, Hello!!! why can't someone hear our complaints?????? I was told after holding for 10 minutes all Supervisors were on other calls, I cannot believe after spending a total of five days (5 days ) on the phone not one person can get it straight, my Blood pressure is sky high and I cannot spent any more of my valuable time getting upset does anyone know who will listen I would never recommend Verizon to another person ever again and sorry I did already to my Son and Grandson I 'll be hearing from them for sure!!!
