Is verizon screwing with me ?

so ive been having internet problems on and off since ive had the service for the past 4 years, finally work out all the kinks and get things squared away and now it feels like they are intentionally messing with me... so heres what happened
for about a month straight i have very slow speeds and connection losses i call them and i get a tech out to my home, everything is fine on my end ... replaced modem just to be sure. he leaves and the connection issue is fixed but the speeds are 1/2 of what they were previously so i get in touch with verizon they test my line saying i am getting good speeds for my package, i ask the tech why am i getting throttled she says im not i ask for the speed iw as getting previously she says theres nothing they can do, finally i have to threaten to close my account and move on. she tells me to hold on and has a network person call me. the network person does whatever it is she does to my service and i get my speeds back. i thank her i thank the tech and i am happy. now 2 days later i notice my speeds dropping again and its in small increments as i always have my modem page open. hour by hour im watching as its keeps going down. did the network tech just give me the speeds ive been getting for th past 3 years just to appease me for a few days and now they are trying to take it back slowly? im very frustrated with all of this as i rely on the internet for my job and having to deal with this constantly is driving me insane ....
can anyone help me ? i mean help that wont last for 2 days ?
im not trying to cause problems i just want the speeds that ive had for the past 4 years

Verizon screwed up autopay and paperless statements

I signed up for automatic payments and electronic billing, It was a horrible, getting calls from the collection department instead of auto pay. This happened twice in last four months. I was also charged penalty. Due to Verizon screw up, if I am reported to credit agencies for late pay, I will go after verizon for damages. Today I paid the penalty and bill and changed to paper statements and will pay each month. Verizon should not offer features, they can not support..

Verizon Screwed-Up the Guide Again

The Guide format changed for the worse again today. As if it wasn't enough to screw it up a few months ago when Verizon applied changes to the way channels were filtered (or not) within the guide; they also added a banner across the bottom of the screen, thereby reducing the number of visible channels by 1. Now, today, Verizon not only changed the format of the channel names (unnecessarily), but they also added a summary detail of the selected channel (which we used to get by pressing the "info" button. This change resulted in the removal of 2 other channels on the screen to make room for the summary. They also got rid of the banner at the bottom of the screen, but they didn't restore the previously removed channel, so now it's just a wasted line that could have shown another channel. Ridiculous. How about some Human Factors assessments? How about some feedback from customers regarding options? I don't appreciate the changes Verizon keeps making to the guide. They're not helpful. Please give us the freedom to select how many channels we can see within the guide at one time. Allow us to select whether or not we want to see the show details in the main screen of the guide. But most importantly, please stop screwing with the guide. Thanks, Rich
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I must admit that I came here to vent out of despair that Verizon couldn't help given my last experience - I never thought you all would be so interested in helping me solve this problem. Thank you and I appreciate it!
SinCara, it's a 52" HD set to 16:9, w/ the banner turned off. And it does say FiOSQUANTUMTV in the top right corner. I'm baffled. This morning, I now have 7 channels displayed in the guide and the selected channel is slightly above the center of the screen ... whereas, for the past two days, the selected channel was shifted one position lower, while the guide displayed 1 less channel.
To your point, I do admit that the new guide is easier to read - especially the improved contrast of the selected channel. I just wish it didn't require the summary be shown. I haven't figured-out the AutoHD tune.
Regarding not being able to post a picture, too funny. I use Firefox with NoScript and I intentionally limit the domains from which I allow scripts to run. I hadn't approved "Lithium.com" scripts because the site was functional for me ... but now that I have allowed Lithium.com, the grey menu bar appeared and I see the link to attach photos to my post as well as employing other RTF features.
At this point, I need to declare this as closed/solved. Thank you all for your help - I do appreciate it!
Sincerely,
Rich

How do I sync a verizon jetpack with my macbook pro?

How do I sync a verizon jetpack with my macbook pro

What do you mean by sync?
Have you asked verizon for help?
Assuming you wish to connect to the jetpack over wifi...
Turn it on, the wifi network name and connection passcode should be on the back of the jetpack.

24" iMac is screwing with my eyes...

This may seem like a joke or like I'm totally ignorant but I have 12 years of professional experience working with Macs.
My eyesight seems to get fuzzy and tired after looking at my 24 inch iMac for a short while. (60 minutes or more) This is the first time I've experienced this and I'm a bit perplexed. I've used every other model of Apple computer and display in the past and have never had problems.
The iMac's resolution is set for the highest res and I've tried playing with brightness and creating a custom color profile to see if it improves. I don't think it's the small size of the text because I have pretty good vision and use a 23 inch display at home. So far nothing has changed with regards to my vision and being able to use the iMac without issues.
I've read about how other devices, such as console video games, can cause problems with some people (headaches, nausea) and they even have warnings on packages about this. Is it possible that the new technology that goes into making the new 24 inch iMac with glossy screen is just screwing with my eyes?

No joke. I experienced the same thing with 20" and 24" ALU iMacs. I test-drove both (about one month each) before returning them because of unacceptable color &/or brightness gradients.
I'm a professional software engineer, and spend all day in front of LCD monitors, but never had any eyestrain problems -- at home or at work -- before the ALU iMacs. When I finally traded-in the second ALU for a white 20" C2D, the eyestrain disappeared -- immediately.
I don't think I can blame it on reflections, because the lighting at my home computer desk is close ideal for a glossy screen. Both ALU models were overly-bright (especially the 24"), but Shades.app seemed to cure that problem.
I can't explain it, but it was real -- and I noticed it before reading any related comments/reports from other ALU iMac owners. BTW, I wear reading glasses and have several different strengths for different purposes. I experimented with a few, and none were any better than my usual "computer glasses".
Looby

Recently i have been getting the color wheel a lot and it is screwing with my happiness. Any thoughts on how to clean the computer up so this stops?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

Verizon screw up for over a year

In July 2012 Verizon switched my account to Verizon Fios with TV and internet. I never requested verizon internet/tv. I have only ever had a home phone thruogh Verizon. Verizon billed me July 2012 thru Nov 2012 for services I did not have. They acknowledged the mistake in November 2012 and took tv/internet off of my bill. I have spoken to Verizon customer services many times and was told, many times, that "credit was issued but did not go thru yet". On May 7,2013, I spoke to {edited for privacy} who spoke to his supervisor, {edited for privacy}. Tom left me a message on 5/8/13 stating that my credit was issued to the wrong name. I have paid the amount due for the phone every month and have not been credited the over $500 Verizon owes me! My account has now been sent to a collection agency. My phone has been disconnected 3 times and currently I do not have service due to a "system" problem. I have filed a report with New York State Department of Consumer Affairs. It is also important to note that I use this number for my business which has been seriously effected by this horrendous error. I have spent countless useless hours on the phone with Verizon. I would like to stay with Verizon to keep my number, however I do not think I can. I will have to switch to another carrier.

Verizon DSL with DHCP and PPPoE

Hello,
I recently signed up for Verizon DSL (with a Westell 6100 modem) and I am connecting to it through a graphite Airport base station. It was initially set to use DHCP in the TCP/IP section. It would connect to the internet properly but after I stop using my computer for a few hours, I have to restart the base station in order to get the connection again. It was annoying to say the least.
Then switch to using PPPoE instead of DHCP. Now it works OK. Everytime I turn on my Mac, all I have to do is select my wireless network and I'm connected.
Could someone explain to me why, with DHCP, I had to restart my base station everytime?
Thanks a lot!

Hock, Welcome to the discussion area!
If your ISP requires PPPoE, it sounds like yours does, then you must PPPoE. Using DHCP in that situation usually doesn't work at all. You must have a neighbor or someone else on the network with an active DHCP server. Your ISP won't like that when they discover it.

Have Verizon DSL with msn premium. I can not set up msn email. Error in incoming server etc.. (My verizon email set up fine). Apple could not help as it is an msn/verizon problem

What does it mean when you receive a text on your iphone 6 form your own number and the message is duplicated on each side (sent/recieved) and has "verizon message" with a long number at the end of the text, duplicated as well?

Great question stacybrownie! Let's get to the bottom of this so that it's not a cause for concern. When a message is sent to/from your own number, it will display as one sent, one received. This makes it display two messages as you are seeing. Let's clarify the second part of your question. Where do you see "Verizon Message" exactly? What is the long number at the end of the text? When did this start and is it with all text messages or only this instance?

If I use Verizon Edge with Iphone 6, Can i just buy SIM when i travel outside the USA?

Hi,
I plan to switch to Verizon Egde with Iphone 6, but i just want to make sure if i can buy SIM to use with it when i travel outside the USA? Do i need to unlock the phone?
thanks.

i chatted with the rep, and i was told that unless iphone 6 paid off ( i was asking about Verizon Edge), the phone is Locked! And if i have to use it outside the USA, i have to call the the customer care..not sure what for.
I just want a phone and put new SIM in to use. No more, no less. I think Verizon makes thing more complicated for the customers (i've been with Verizon since 2005).
If thing is so complicated, i'd better look for another solution then.

Replacing verizon router with my own

Hello,
I want to replace my current verizon router with my own, the issue I have is I can not logon. I know I can do a full reset but all the info will be lost. (gateway, verizon password, ect). Is there any way around this? I only have fios, no tv. Incoming connection is a cat 5 cable from fiberoptic converter. Or will I be stuck calling tech support?
Any help would be appreciated, I have small to fair knowledge with these devices.
Geo1cran

since your hooked up with cat5 your good to go. Now if your DHCP verizon would need to help or if your PPPOE then all you have to do is hook up your router and your good to go.

Using Verizon Jetpack with iPad

Can I use Verizon Jetpack with my AT&T Iphone and Ipad2 for data?

Try pulling the battery on the jet pack or even hard reset it. I know other devices are working but also hold home button and power key until iPad screen goes black. If your iPad doesn't pick up the waves from jp then you may need to backup and restore on ipad. But yeah it would be nice to know if your iPad can pick up other WiFi. If you have a smartphone you could turn on Hotspot feature it may cost depending on plan free with m.e. plan

How do i start legal action against verizon for screwing with my bill for about 8 weeks now?

on november 7 i ordered a new iphone and was charged 349 for it to my bill
NOVEMBER 12: NOTIFIED THAT FEDEX WOULD NOT DELIVER BECAUSE THE IPHONE WAS NOT IN BOX
NOVEMBER 14: verizon received the empty box and it was signed by D. Watkins
during this time, i was informed that i would be crdited my money back and they would change the contract date back to original date so i could go to a store and get a new phone with new contract price. the date was corrected back to original , but i had to pay for a new phone while still being out the $350 for the undelivered phone. i have been promised by about 5-6 verizon staff that they would either call me back or fix the issue. they ALL CAN SEE THAT I AM DUE THE $350 AND IN FACT IT IS IN THE NOTES THAT I AM DUE THIS. I WENT SO FAR AS TO RECORD THE VERIZON AGENT WHO PROMISED THAT I WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AND THE CREDIT WOULD HIT MY ACCOUNT .HIS NAME IS CHRIS AND HIS BADGE # 130096 IS RECORDED IN A PATHETIC CONVERSATION FOR 5 MINUTES OF HIM PROMISING ME THIS WOULD BE FIXED...THAT WAS DECEMBER 8 2014.nothing has happened. i went into a verizon corporate store today to go directly to a manager in ann arbor on washtenaw. she informed me that she did not have the authority to fix anything above $200, so she called an agent JUST LIKE ME!!!!!, and i proceeded to wait online for 40 minutes for a gal to fix my issue and when she got back on, she said she was forwarding the issue to her manager and hse would get back in 45 minutes....THAT WAS 5 HOURS AGO AND NOTHING. i have decided to go to the plymouth, michigan district small claims court because i refuse to pay my bill first and then hope for the credit back....i have spent aobut 12 hours waiting on the phone for last 1-2 months, like an idiot, thinking that someone would really help.. noone is reliable and this has been an unbelievable instance of horrible service..I HAVE EVERYTHING DOCUMENTED...i hope to truly bring this to light also with the press..i am livid wih how verizon has yanked me around for this issue..THE NOTES IN VERIZONS RECORDS SHOW I AM DUE A CREDIT..ITS REALLY UNBELEAVABLE

Sounds like the warehouse has not scanned that the "empty" box has been returned. Verizon is not going to issue a credit until it is verified that the shipped package has been scanned and received by them. It does sound annoying but just think about it from their perspective. Plus sending out an empty box is abnormal and would take some looking into don't you think? Even though the process is long and drawn out and even annoying on your end it makes sense that they wouldn't just apply the credit without proper investigation.
