Verizon Thieves are good at bait and switch Verizon converted my mother's building in Queens to fiber, thus forcing us to consider FIOS. This was a bad experience begeinning to end. First of all, they make renewing lifeline eligibilty difficult. But I figured it out and mailed the renewal application, they simply lost it, so for months she was paying $15 a month more than she had to. Then the whole - we cant talk to you without a pin number - horror played out. She is half deaf and half blind and one quarter senile, so its all very difficult to deal with. Finally I step in and Verizon talks to me. their pricing is very opaque. They try to con you into signing up for packages without revealing the full costs. I could never get a straight breaksown of how much each service costs. When asking about lifeline, just long holds and blank stares. Eventually I settle on the double play, voice and internet only. they quote prices with taxes and fees not included. They baited me with a double 'loyalty' discount. I agree to a price quoted in writing in a text message. LAter find out price does not include taxes. Then the tech comes, and he takes five hours to run install fiber. Delay is due to central ofice not turning on service as their is confusion over which plan I actually ordered. This is on a Friday before XMAS, the poor guy is stuck with us until 630 PM. Also he cuts the wrong coax and wrong copper, but I only caught the coax mistake as we were waiting so long for him to get authorization we happened to turn on the TV. Verizon tech also does not check all phones, next day we discover only one phone works via new fiber connection, so Verizon has to send us another guy to fix it. Then a few days later I happen to review Verizon emails, and notice one that gives an estimated bill saying our new double play will be $142 per month!! I call Verizon and the dopey person and ask why is the loyalty discount dropped? She's totally helpless and says she will call back in five minutes. No call comes in 24 hours. Now I decide to look at other options. And by the way a promised new Lifeline application is to be mailed and it of course never arrives. Cable company offers a double play with wi-fi for $60 icnl. tax. We cancel FIOS, and after a week still have received no instructions on how to return router. I even checked my messages on their website in My Account. We had our time wasted, our internal wiring disturbed, lied to at multiple stages. In contrast the cable company has already called me three times asking if all is working well, and they even changed the new phone number to a easier to remember one and did it cheerfuly and professional. VERIZON is managed by liars and thieves. STAY AWAY from FIOS if you can get cable or 4G internet as an alternative.

Horrible Customer Service Horrible Customer Service I been with Verizon for 12 years now, back in January they raised me yet once again so I decided to just get WiFi service for streaming. After agreeing to 300/300mbps for 49.99 with auto pay, free equipment and a 200$ gift card for being a long time customer. I now just realized they been charging me for only 50/50 mbps, rental fees and no 200$ card. Also they informed me once I called them that they will not honor the 49.99 for autopay cause I’m using a credit card which wasn’t what was stated. The customer service reps are horrible, the supervisor was no better so now I just signed up with Optimum for the 300/300 for 40$ with autopay including the use of credit card should I want to use that option, free equipment and free month to start. Bye bye Verizon #problemSolved

Please stop emailing me verizon Who is Quamane and why does he have a need for fiber optic internet but apparently can't type the correct email when he is ordering? I'm not Quamane, I don't live in New Jersey; Can I even get fiber in my town? If so I am down but I don't think that's a thing here yet. Verizon please stop emailing me receipts the stress has caused me to lose so much hair that my wife left me and then i got so depressed I didn't notice my kids were playing in the street until after they got hit by a UPS truck. Thanks to Verizon life has become unrelenting pain.

Verizon Fios customer service …Two Thumbs Down Verizon Fios customer service (800-837-4966) is the WORST I have ever had to deal with. I am exhausted and upset after every call. WILL NOT be renewing my contract because of this.

The worst internet you can get The worst internet you can get. The router stays connected, but the internet to the router constantly disconnects. I just received this a few days ago, so it's brand new, and it has been dropping connection EVERY DAY, MULTIPLE times a day. Just this morning (it's not even noon yet) it has lost internet connection at least 3 times. I don't even bother with "customer service" anymore b/c they are lying trash. I will just be switching service. I am already switching to Google Fi for my wireless because of all the crap I've been through with this company. That experience will be posted in a different review for the wireless department.
