Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Fios Video is a Joke

Many customers received a promo for free 80 additional channels during Covid-19.
I just got off the phone with a tech at Video for almost 2 hours trying to figure out why I’m not getting the channels. She was nice, working from home but we had a nice long conversation as I’m a retired VZ tech too.

Well 2 hours and no new channels. She said the video organization is a joke. There VOD (which also is not working) system is based out of India. They have an organization and department for everything. She literally told me she had to talk to 7 different departments. Here’s a list of departments:
IMG, FNOC, Video Hub, Cam, STB Management, Billing, Provisioning... what a joke. She said her husband works for Comcast and he said literally one call to the video head end and these issues are usually resolved. What the hell is Verizon doing???

Meanwhile I’m really seeing a lot of the problems with my TV service. Figures when I want to use it, it doesn’t work right. So unfair to say I’m getting free channels and I can’t get them !!! Wtf

If VZ management sees this message please fix it!!!!

What employees get all the channels ? Are you joking? VZ employees get a very minimal discount on Fios TV but in no way get any services or channels for free.

I’m an employee and I got rid of my Fios tv because it s—s. Much happier with my Roku

Wait: just because you happen to be BOTH an employee and paying customer, you have to tolerate poor or non-working service so as to not be a “crybaby”???

Hey @3ied: kudos to you for having the most absurd post here. Sheesh.

what kind of employee are you if you 1)didn't have the channels that everyone else got in their employee package, 2)can not basic troubleshooting. ummm reboot your cable box maybe haha, 3)waste time talking to rep when he/she can be helping paying customers instead of a crybaby employee

Omg. You can’t watch duck dynasty? Maybe ask one of the national guardsmen to stop collecting dead bodies and work on your television for you.

" There VOD (which also is not working) system is based out of India."

I speak to India 5 times a day, but their always asking for my social security number, credit card numbers or their from Microsoft technical support and my computer is causing them errors on their servers. Maybe same group?
