GBCompare with Comcast Relocating to new apartment which can now offer Fios service. Giving them a try to save some money over comcast. Looks like I will save over $110.00 a month locked in for 2 years.

GBI Was told I would be receiving NHL … I Was told I would be receiving NHL with my package I paid extra for and I did not. I asked the sales person several times to verify I would have access to NHL because I had the same issue with Cox Cable. He assured me I did. When the installation was complete I discovered it was not included. To my frustration I had to call Verizon and wait on hold for one hour and 10 minutes before someone was able to take my call. I had to have the correct package added.

GBVerizon 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.

GBAwesome! My customer service rep, Miquel, or Q was nothing short of great. Coming from Comcast, I already expected better customer service, but Q was better than that. He was funny, responsive and very full of knowledge. He answered any question I had. Hope he gets a promotion or something!

GBNew customer The agent provided good service. However, she needs to slow down when explaining certain things. At times she sounded rehersed as if she was reading off a paper. At times when I asked her a follow up questions, she sounded annoyed. She just needs to work on her tone a bit and not sounding rehersed. She also needs to slow down when explaining disclaimers etc. But overall she did a good job.
