This is all dumb commenting by disgruntled people who need to go away. I just had a problem with my home phone (i.e., copper wire), put in a ticket in the evening and got a call from the tech the next morning on a weekend. A few hours later it was fixed and ticket closed. Best service ever. And yes, there is FiOS service available here that I decline to buy. The way you guys talk they should be making my life he__ until I submit to them and get FiOS. But no, they made me feel like the most important person they were dealing with that day even though it was just a measly problem with my outside wiring.

Further proof that the company is now run by a mob that has zero understanding of the communication business. The FCC needs to take a look at what is going on at Verizon.

30 minutes to install a piece of garbage that gets the lowest priority on its connected tower AND THE NEXT NABORONG TOWER. Verizon leaders should be incarcerated. Pussified greedy asswipes, ruined the industry. And thats why the two morons lowell and franny are leaving.

Good ole Verizon management .... where all employee communications begin and end with a threat. I'm glad I'm gone. And I love my T-Mobile.

How does a customer not qualify for a Voice Link? Verizon is abandoning the copper network, that's for sure, and will grab as many of the customers before selling off the rotted out carcass.

It takes one technician 30 minutes to install a Voice Link, But it could take anywhere from 2 hours to 8 hours+ to repair one copper line giving the condition of the plant right now. It could also require a minimum of 3 technicians if they have to open a manhole, and go underground to repair that line.

If you do the math, (time,Money) this is not going to change. But good luck going in front of a judge trying to terminate someone for doing the job they were hired, and trained to do for the past 20 years on a plant that Verizon still owns, and is required to maintain as per state regulations.

Verizon will Lose. Stop with the threatening scare tactics, and harassment.....Find another way to screw your paying customers.
