Can Anyone Beat This for Terrible Service

Verizon should be ashamed of itself.  I started with them in Feb. 2011.  I bought a Droid x, which began to reboot.  They replaced it with a 'refurbished' model.  That rebooted.  They replaced with this yet *another* Droid X, which not only rebooted but the screen went black during a call and couldn't be accessed.  I had to do a battery pull.
A nice supervisor upgraded me for free to a X2.  The first time I used the camcorder, it froze the phone.  New supervisor offered me a free Incredible 2, but I didn't want that.  He said he'd already ordered it for me but when it came, I was to retun it and let customer service know and they'd switch it with a new X2.    When the time came to return it, customer service said that the supervisor was on vacation, no one could contact him and he left no instructions to replace my X2 with a new one.  A *month* later, with *no one* able to get in touch with this supervisor, another supervisor tells me the only way to get a new X2 was to extend my contract 6 months and I'd get a gift card to pay for the new X2.  Time came to use the gift card and there was still $109 left the card didn't cover.  Took a lot of work to get that resolved.  
Three weeks go by and the phone is perfect......until 2.3.4 is upgraded and guess what? Yep. The camcorder freezes.  Verizon is totally useless and wants me to go back to refurbished models (what did I extend my contract for???) and switches me over to Motorola - in the Philippines, who can't help me.  When I finally talk to someone at Motorola, they want me to send them my phone for 2 weeks with no loaner so they can reload the OS.
And Verizon?  The rep I spoke to said that Verizon is very well aware that these phones are buggy and the repairs and returns are "making them look so bad that they have a policy change coming so that all returns are to be sent to Motorola instead of them."
I want out of my Verizon contract. I bought my phone and service in good faith and I've not have one phone longer than a month because of all the problems with a phone they *know* and *admit* is buggy.  I'm filing complaints with the FCC, the FTC, Verizon, Motorola, the California Attorney General's office, and the BBB.  No company should sell devices they know are faulty and yet Verizon is.  The rep admitted it.  And from all the other people I see on this forum talking about how they've returned their phones numerous times, I am far from the only one.
Shame on you, Verizon!  You should do the honest thing and let me out of my contract so I can sign with a company who doesn't sell faulty devices.

Over 9 months and 20 openreach appointments and my broadband is still not fixed.   They have tried the "put up with it or we will just say your line is too long and we will stop all broadband service" about 3 times now, but when I point-out my next door neighbour is with TalkTalk, and their BB is fine, and also point out I've had much faster BB for years, they back down.
My speed has gone from 2Mbps to 384Kbps, and every time the phone rings the broadband disconnects.
I am an IT engineer that works from home and about 5 times a day I have to tell my customers that my BB has dropped out and then I explain that I've been waiting 9 months for BT to fix it.
Also I used to set up my customers on BT Broadband but obviously I haven't been doing that for the last 9 months. 
I'm sure that the fault is in the old aluminium cable that Openreach don't want to touch (in fact that is what the last engineer told me) .
When you add up the cost of all these engineers calls, and the loss of business from the bad name you are getting, it would have been far cheaper to replace the cable.

  • Can anyone answer this for me!!!!

    I live in a some what country area and have been for 7 yrs. I currently have phone and tv service through Verizon. But they do not have any internet available where i live. What i do not understand is that i keep getting offers in the mail about their internet service and how it works, but when I call them they tell me a date of when it might be there. They told me 5 yr ago that not just the DSL would be available to me but also the fois internet would be to in just about a year and a half. Well I can honestly say neither is! When I call them they tell me a date and when i call them back after the date they tell me when it will be available they tell me another one. There are a lot of people where I live that have been living here well over 20 yr+ that have had to use that crappy satellite or slow dial up,that would switch to Verizon in a heart beat! But the HUGE thing that I do not understand is at the end of the street there is a small walk in building that says Verizon, they have told me it is one of the main phone stations in the area, but what funny is it the only one without inernet service! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Plz can anyone tell me when it might become available

    Unfortunately, Larry's right on target.  Just because there is a building with Verizon on it, there might not be the dslams installed to provide dsl, also known as Verizon High Speed Internet.  It might be just an plain old telephone service.
    It's simple economics.  If you really live in a country area, there may not be enough potential subscribers to cover the cost of the equipment installation to provide service to you.  Probably not what you want to hear.  Sorry.

  • Please can anyone test this for me? V200 and Repeat Folder play m

    Hi
    Does anyone here use the play mode called Repeat Folder?
    I have selected this play mode and it works fine, but how do you
    then change/skip to another folder?
    If I try then the unit gets confused and goes from
    my folder called DireStraits of 2 to DireStraits 2of2
    instead of to U2 2 of 2. Sometimes I can get it to skip
    to another folder by scrolling in the other direction but
    basically it does not allow me to skip to another folder.
    So, what I have to do is change to Normal mode say,
    then skip to another folder (which works just fine) and
    then turn the play mode back Repeat Folder.
    I think this is a buglet?
    Can anyone else confirm this behaviour or confirm that they
    get normal behaviour once the play mode is set to Repeat Folder.
    Thanks in advanceMessage Edited by will77 on 02-02-2005 0:47 AMMessage Edited by will77 on 02-07-2005 06:44 PM

    Hi will77,Can you describe what happens if you are in "repeat-folder" mode and select "skip folder" and then scroll to the left or right?
    Thanks a lot. Yes. if I scroll right then it goes to the next folder (sometimes) or
    jumps a folder or misses one or goes nowhere sometimes, and if I select the folder
    it does go to, then it show the track name, but I cannot play it, hitting play
    pause play does nothing. If I scroll to the left then I sometimes can get to the folders
    it does not show when I scroll right, but again, if I select the folder presented to me
    the track will not play. Also I think sometimes it gets confused and does not know whether
    to scroll along folder by folder or scroll along track by track within a folder.
    Any ideas?
    Any MuVo V200 users out there then?
    Thanks in advance.

    Reyna,
    I can see a couple of issues
    Your static routes:-
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/0/1
    ip route 50.74.100.128 255.255.255.252 50.74.100.130
    Ser 0/0/1 is shut and has no ip addressing.
    The route to 50.74.100.128 has no way to reach the next hop 50.74.100.130
    Your NAT translations are both the same therfore only one is effective.
    Just tidy up a little:-
    The only static route you need is a default route:-
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.75.100.129
    The NAT only requires one list and trans pointing out the outside interface
    ip nat inside source list 1 interface Serial0/0/1 overload
    access-list 1 permit 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255

    this serial interface is configured for a form of tunneling called STUN
    every SDLC frame that is received is placed inside a TCP segment and sent to 10.0.14.1.
    It should be related to some form of IBM or mainframe networking.
    STUN SDLC is most commonly used in two environments: FEP to remote controller, and AS/400 to remote controller.

    Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
    In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
    After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
    If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
    Reboot and try again.
    If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
    Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
    Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
    Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

    The photo's in your camera roll would be in a backup, if you have one (iCloud or iTunes).  If you did not keep a backup somewhere, they are gone.  Sorry, but that is the way of any data - if you don't have a backup of it somewhere, there is nothing to restore it from.
    All other photo's should be on your computer somewhere anyway - whereever you had them to sync to the device originally.
