DSL service is only 1 mile away, how can I get Verizon to service my house?

I just bought a house. Unfortunately, before I bought it I talked with Time Warner Cable and they told me service was available. Once I moved in I called to get it hooked up, they then proceeded to tell me service is NOT available. And to get it, I'd have to pay $24,000 for them to run cable 1 mile. They say it is not profitable for them to do it, because in that stretch of one mile, there are only 12 houses, they require 24 houses per mile to justify the expense.
Verizon DSL is also 1 mile away. I called on 11/2/09 and gave them my address, as well as the closest address to me that has the service. I was told to call back with this info and ask for an engineering work order to be put in to determine the viability of stretching the service 1 mile. I was supposed to hear back on 11/5/09, but never did. The support person never gave me any reference number, and I neglected to ask for one. I guess I will try calling back today, giving all my info to see if there has been an update to my request.
Has anyone ever been successful in getting Verizon to accommodate them and their neighbors in a similar situation? Feels like a David vs. profit hungry Goliath thing going on here.
Here is a pic of the DSL service extension I'm requesting:

I suggest you visit DSLreports.com and put in a request with the Verizon customer service forum - it is called Verizon Direct - where real Verizon employees work to get things done in a fast and efficient manner. I have often used this service and have always received top notch service.
Good luck.

HT4437 I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?

I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?
This one is used in Windows laptop, and I want it support AirPlay service, but Apple doesn't publish the AirPlay protocol.
Many thanks.

Create a developer account, then access he developers forums and see if you can find the information that way
The other option would be to simply contact Apple directly.

Yeah there's no setting for that. So either you don't have an iPhone, or your iPhone is jail broken. If it's jail broken, just restore to factory and all will be fixed :)

One way to do it is for your brother to import the video to his computer, copy it and give the copy to you. You can read about it here.

There are apps available in the app store that will transfer photos and videos via WiFi. You can look at a couple of those. WiFi Photo Transfer, PhotoSync ....

How can I get Verizon to install fiber in my neighborhood? Have been waiting 10 years.

How can I get Verizon to install fiber in my neighborhood?
I have been on the notification list for nearly 10 years with no action.
Current DSL download speed is only 3.0 Mbps, the max available for copper twisted pair, so I am told by tech support.
Unless Verizon will install fiber in my neighborhood, my only option to obtain faster internet service is to change to another provider, though I would prefer to remain a Verizon customer.
Any suggestions for alternate providers, under the circumstances?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Forget it. I've been waiting 13 years and every town around me has Fios, in fact my town is a small [27k population] city who provides the phone exchange numbers for the surrounding towns with Fios! Figure that out. I myself have given up and am moving on to Time Warner for my internet and phone and will not return even if fios does appear before the end times.. They are actually cheaper than verizon when flat rate phone service and real broadband speeds are figured in. Verizon only has last century's DSL technology available. Leave verizon, they don't care if do or not.

How can I get Advance Replacement Service added to our current contract?

We have a contract with description "SBS 8x5xNBD 3yr Small Business Support Svc(SBS)" which still has two years due. How can I tell if it already includes Advance Replacement for our country (Mexico) ? If not, is it possible to add this service?

I'm not sure but if you give the Small Business Support Center a call with your contract number or product serial number handy, they will be able to answer you.
Per their contact page, their telephone number for their customers in Mexico is 001-866-915-4503.

HOW can I get some customer service??!!

Seriously... I know Adobe are supposed to industry leaders in software, but their customer service is among the worst I have ever encountered.
All I am trying to do is have someone tell me why my order was cancelled, why no one told me it was cancelled and why when I tried to place the same order the price had gone up by £200.
I have tried four customer live chats - two didn't understand what I was trying to ask, the other two seemed to get it but didn't do anything/ 'weren't able to help' because they worked for the wrong department and couldn't tell me which department might help.
I have tried emailing customer services. I got one reply where they said they considered my case closed, one reply where the person insinuated I was stupid and had been lookign at the wrong product page (I hadn't) and three times since I have emailed the same address and my emails have bounced back. When I mentioend this to a live chat person, she said it was because 'emails usually don't work if you use an IE browser'. Despite the fact they had worked previously, I sent an email from Chrome - and still it bounced back.
I have tried clicking on the support portal and I get an error message. I have even private messaged an Adobe employee through the forums and begged for help - nothing.
If the email address [email protected] isn't working, how the hell do I get in touch with ANYONE who knows what they're talking about?! And why is it so difficult to get any kind of service from this company?!
Please - if anyone can help me, I'd be so grateful. This is driving me mad. I was prepared to give this company thousands of pounds worth of business, and it's actually impossible to get any information from them at all...

The only way Adobe can demonstrate to its customers that it does care is by opening a dedicated forum (called Customer Care) where people can post their problems regarding payments and accounts related. That forum should only be answered by Adobe Staff (Not even glorified MVPs should be allowed on that forum). People can read the forums but solutions should come from Adobe staff with real names and proper contact details (not some made up names). The solutions should be provided within 24 hours (excluding weekends and public holidays) or at least the customer should be contacted via PM or e-mail within this time framework.
Anything less should simply be not acceptable.

How can I get Verizon to reset my dsl speed to 3mbps after I replaced a failed filter?

Last time it took me 2 hours of begging on the phone to finally get a tier 3 tech to reset my dsl connection to 3mbps after a bad filter caused repeated drop outs. I'm in the same spot again, my dlink router shows my connection speed down to 2.1 after a lightning storm blew a line filter, when before my speed was 3.4. There's got to be an easier way to get reset, it only took the tech about 30 seconds to do it!
All I'm looking for is an easier way to get my connection reset!!
If it helps I have a verizon dlink 2750b, I don't think it will give transever stats, but here is my traceroute.

For the last 7 weeks I have also been fighting the ASSIA Expresse Solution's 'Optimizer' product that Verizon and many others, atarted using to automate their DSL line speeds. I actually contacted the parent company, ASSIA, and complained to them directly about the lost of speed, and user's lack of control.
I just had my line reset by a 3rd tier Verizon person from Marylan - they were very helpful and did not give me a hard time, but as the previous messager asked, "Why the need to go through this?" I suggested to the ASSIA sals rep who returned my e-mail, that they give the customer some client side tool to allow a choice up to their max provision/profile speed, to choose speed over stability. There are times when I work from hom, that I need to mover a large amount of data, but if it fails becuase the line is a bit unstable, I am weilling to start the copy over again. Let ME decide how sable and fast I want things up to the BW I am paying for.
So for the past 2 weeks I've been routinely above 2.5 Mbps and then 2 days ago - max is 1.5Mbps. After 15 minuts with first tech, the next 3rd tier guy got me back up to 2.81Mbps - just likle that!

Everytime i plug my iphone and update through itunes all my game data goes away how can i get it back/stop this from happening

please help

I have the same question, but can you clarify something please. I have about 10 apps showing in the apps section of iTunes - all of which I am happy to have on my iphone - but NOT on the Touch.
1. How do I 'delete' the apps wrongly synched to the Touch, and
2. For the future, when I download an app. hor do I ensure it is only synched with the iphone and not the Touch. I have very space left on the Touch and don't want to clutter it with unwanted apps.

IMovie 10.0.5, share as a file. Is mp4 the only option? How can I get the best quality, no matter the file size?

Hi everyone, I made a project in iMovie 10.0.5 and I want to get the most out of it in terms of quality. When sharing I don't see any options. File is mp4. What can be done? Thank you in advance for your answer.

iMovies design is designated to 'convenience' - as little as confusing 'options' as possible.
mp4 is just a wrapper, or media container, don't be confused with the antiqué mpeg4 codec - the mp4 iMovie creates, contain h.264 as codec.
When you export a fullHD project, the bit-rate is ~20-25mbps - close to max., a camcorder creates (28mbps).
For sure, pic quality depends on many more factors, not only export-settings.......

HT1529 I have a screen that won't go away, how can I get it off my desk top

Hi,
I have a box that stays on my computer. It has four boxes on the left top that are general, accounts, viewing, audio/video and the main heading at the top is Accounts. There is nothing in the box that is clear enough to read and the box also says Location..US in the left lower bottom with cancel and save in the rt. lower corner. When I click on cancel I get a pop up screen that has the text icon that says Alert (null) with cancel and ok in the rt lower corner. When I hit cancel it takes that little box off and then the save button flashes. I can not hit any of the red, yellow, or green buttons to get rid of the screen they are blanked out. It's driving me crazy!! please help me get rid of it.
thanks,

Type command + option + esc (all three keys together).
You will see a new pane called Force Quit Applications. In that pane select, one at a time, anything you do not recognize, and click Force Quit.
Finally, select Finder and Relaunch.

I love the tiles of my most used pages which come up when I open a new tab. 9 used to show up but now there are only 3. How can I get the others back.

I have explored the suggested solution pages but if the answer was there I did not understand it. I have clicked on the cog at the top right hand corner of the page and changed from Enhanced to Classic, but that did not give me my 9 tiles back. I shall be most grateful if one of you folk with more savy can help me.
Lynette

You can zoom out the about:newtab page to resize the tiles.
*View > Zoom > Zoom Out; Ctrl and +
This will affect all elements on the page, so text get smaller as well.
Toggle the <b>browser.newtab.preload</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page in case of issues with zooming the about:newtab page.
You can look at this extension:
