I want Verizon Fios!

First off, my apologies if a message like this has already been posted here, but I really want Fios!  I need the super fast internet connection and my DSL just doesn't cut it with the amount of photos I need to upload.  This quote prompted me to post this message, it's from the Philadelphia Inquirer, an article entitled "Hanging Up", published on January 27th, 2010:
"...analysts were disappointed in the slow growth of Verizon's FiOS video service, which added just 153,000 customers in the quarter, the worst since early 2007, Deutsche Bank's Doug Michelson told clients in a note."
I'm pretty sure there is a demand for Fios Internet and TV out there, they just aren't installing it where the people want it.  So I was thinking, if you post your city, your state plus (if you know it) which Central Office where your house is served out of, maybe it would help them in deciding where to put in new Fios. 
I live in Cheektowaga NY and am served out of the Cayuga/Williamsville central office.
Fingers crossed....

Well I suppose it doesn't hurt to let Verizon know that you want it, but this is the wrong place to post it as this is a user to user forum. Verizon doesn't officially visit or monitor these forums. While there are a few employees that drop by and try to help, it has so official Verizon presence.
Verizon did say last year however that they were going to slow down the expansion of the Fios and focus on beefing up the existing fios infrastructure. With all the lay offs and other economic factors in the economy right now. This makes good business sense. So, while they are still expanding fios, it is just expanding slower. The last press release that I read on the expansion said that their initial plan was to have fios in 80% of the Verizon footprint by 2020 and the new revised timeline was supposed to now look like 2025 or 2030. Verizon usually has a "state of the company" press release usually in Q2 (if I remember right). So that is when the new "plan" will be announced.

  • Verizon FIOS what a horrible experience​!

    God I feel so appalled and disappointed at Verizon​ FIOS beyond disbelieve.
    I had been a Verizon customer for several years and sadly the customer service has gone down the drain in recent years. My biggest dilemma started after some of the channels I paid for stopped working for an unknown reason. After spending several hours with technical support and tearing my rooms apart, flipping my five (5) set- up boxes upside down in order read the serial #’s to Verizon support so that they can do something with my account, they finally told me they needed to dispatch a technician to fix the issue. While I was on the phone with support and checking the information I realized they had been charging me for 7 set-up boxes and I only have 5???
    Anyway, a technician showed up in my house a couple of days later and ran some tests and said the problem was the outside wiring so he went outside to fix it. He got three of my boxes fixed but the one located at the attic (my son’s room) he could not fix. He said the issue was the small COAX to RJ45 converter box my son was using to connect his desktop computer and X-Box to the internet. Mind you this small converter box was given to me by Verizon about 5 years ago so I don’t have to run Ethernet cables to the attic for Internet access and it had been working just fine for all these years. After a long testing period with the set-up box in the attic the technician came to the conclusion the issue was actually the set-up box itself and therefore he replaced it. What really bothers me is he never put the little converter box back and instead took it with him, leaving my son without Internet?
    The following day I realized only 4 of my 5 set-up boxes were working and after tracing cables outside my home I found out the technician changed the existing coax splitter with a 4 Way Coax Splitter instead therefore leaving the cable for my fifth set-up box hanging (disconnected)??.
    So after calling Verizon again and after a very long phone call they finally agreed to dispatch a technician to correct the problem with the fifth set-up box. Needless to say a new technician came to my home and despite me requesting them to bring back my son’s little converter box, they never returned it, leaving me with a very unhappy, upset, and Internet-less teenager at home.
    Few days later I accessed my Verizon FIOS account to check my bill and make the payment for the new month, but just to notice my bill doubled?? It was a bit over ~$549.03 and I had no idea why?? So I called Verizon AGAIN and after escalating this issue to the manager (Sue employee ID: {Edited for privacy}) she informed me my account was closed and a new account was opened?? (without notifying me?). After she reviewed my account she informed me, several times, my current balance was $0 (zero) because I was given a credit of $544 for the times Verizon was charging me for extra set-up boxes and because they have changed my account without notifying me. She said my online account was not in sync with their database and this is why I was only able to see the ~$549.03 balance, even though her database showed a zero balance. She kindly promised to call me back as soon as the new online account is in sync with their databases so she can inform me that everything has been taken care of. She also said it would only be a couple of days before she can call me…
    Needless to say I never received a call back from her and it has been more than two weeks now.
    To top it all up I received a bill from FIOS today (4/1/2013) where Verizon is charging me $979.50???
    I called Verizon support immediately (around 9:17 PM EST) and after the customer service rep. (a lady with initials MC) could not figure out my bill, I requested to speak with the manager. So she placed me on hold and politely told me she would find a manager who could assist me. What she didn’t realize is she did not MUTE her phone and I heard how disrespectfully she made fun of me, my tone of voice, my accent and how laud she was laughing with her co-workers at my expense???.
    After all the “fun” she had at my expense she came back to the line to “politely” tell me she was still looking for a manager…
    Anyway, finally she put Tracy {Edited for privacy} (Desk ID: {Edited for privacy}) on the line whom claimed to be the manager, but now I am not sure anymore. She took a quick glance at my account and after I told her I just want Verizon to remove their equipment from my home because I just had it with them, she asked me if I could give her until tomorrow noon to check my account again and get back to me because she was seeing charges in my “NEW” account for new equipment and labor costs???
    As you can tell I am extremely frustrated and disappointed at Verizon FIOS because not only they are playing with my bill, my account, my servicers, but they are also disrespectful, making fun at their customers who just happened to call and ask for help with their bill. This has become a nightmare for me and I just want Verizon FIOS to come and pick up their boxes so I could go back to some other service provider that could at least treat me with respect, they way customers should be treated, after all we are the ones who PAY for their services.
    I am also afraid since Verizon FIOS doesn’t seem to care about anything they may push to rip me off and attempt to collect the $979.50 they are now charging me so I am seeking for legal help. If anyone knows how I should best handle this situation please let me know.
    Regards,
    Angel.

    Dear AnneS,
    I don't need to go to any other "private" forum to request what is my right to challenge my outrageous bill.
    I had asked Verizon to remove their equipment from my home because I am closing this account.
    Fortunately I am now working with consumer protection support to challenge the incredibly high bill Verizon is still attempting to collect from me.

  • Topic: Microsoft's Silverlight for Mac. I wanted to video stream a movie via Verizon FIOS. It demanded Silverlight.dmg Macbok Pro refused to download from 3rd party supplier (CNET). How can I get this?

    Topic: Microsoft's Silverlight for Mac. I wanted to video stream a movie via Verizon FIOS. It demanded Silverlight.dmg.  Macbok Pro refused to download from 3rd party supplier (CNET). How can I get this from Apple?  The Verizon FIOS video website was churning on the error message, "Checking device registration status."  It got stuck in a loop. Verizon tech support never came on. Was on terminal "Hold."  Any recommendations?

    Never download anything from CNET. The site is untrustworthy and is known to distribute Windows spyware intentionally.

    I am having trouble setting up my time capsule.  the amber light is flashing.  i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function.  I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

    Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
    Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

  • Want off Verizon FIOS Marketing List

    I am receiving NUMEROUS phone calls from 410-{edited for privacy}, related I believe to Verizon FIOS marketing, that I want to stop.   Where do I send my request to be removed from this call list.  My number has been registered with the Do Not Call list for years, and side-stepping with a "business relationship clause" is necessitating this more than time consuming search to deal directly with the business to stop the calls.  Fuming.  Really.

    You can be removed from these calls by speaking with Sales/Marketing at 1-800-Verizon, enter your home phone number, then select Option # 3.

  • Pros and Cons of Verizon FiOS TV vs Comcast

    I recently (two weeks ago) switched from Comcast to Verizon FiOS TV in the Portland, OR area and I have mixed feelings about it.  There are several things that are better, but also many that are worse than Comcast.
    I'll get the bad things out of the way... and maybe I'm wrong about a few of them:
    CONS
    -- My most expensive Mitsubishi TV that has worked fine on everthing via HDMI for the past 6 months (Comcast Motorola HD DVR, PS3, Wii, Wireless Media Extender) will not work via HDMI with the Verizon Motorola STB.  Green screen of death.  I don't have any optical audio cables, so I'm currently running with component cables and regular audio (which sucks).  This is horrible.
    -- Changing channels sometimes doesn't work.  This happens when I'm flipping through channels using the Channel +/- buttons.  I'll hit + and the on screen display will say it has changed channels, but the previous channel's video and audio are still on the screen.  I have to change to the next channel and back again to get it to synch up.  This happens a lot.
    -- The DVR skip buttons are nearly worthless to the impatient (read: me).  If you hit the skip button too fast, it either doesn't skip at all or causes the video to go blank.  On my other TV which is working via HDMI, this makes it have a green screen of death and I have to turn the TV off and back on.  This is a big deal for me.  I'm used to hitting the skip button quickly a set number of times to skip past known lenghts of commercial breaks.  I simply can't do that with Verizon.  I have to hit the skip, wait a couple of seconds, hit the skip again, wait a couple of seconds, hit the skip again, oops... it didn't skip... I must not have waited long enough, hit skip again.  THIS IS INFURIATING.
    -- If I have rewound back into a certain channel's buffer, as far as I can tell there is no way to immediately return to live TV.  Comcast's remote had a LIVE button that would skip to the end of the buffer without clearing it.  The only way I've figured out to do it is change channels then come back to the original channel, but this sometimes clears the buffer so that isn't acceptable.
    -- I can't adjust the end time of an already recording program.  This comes up frequently, especially with sporting events and programs that have been delayed because of sporting events preceding them.  I'll sit down in the middle of a show and start playing the recording from the beginning but notice the basketball game before it is still finishing.  I want to extend the end time of the recording so I can start watching it immediately from the end of the basketball game and not have to worry about whether it will be in the buffer or not.
    -- If I have two succesive shows set to record, there are several seconds dropped between the two shows in the recordings.  Comcast would miss one maybe two seconds... Verizon misses almost 10.  Why does this matter?  Well, sometimes shows run a little long and with Comcast I would be guaranteed to see the end of that program on the beginning of the next recording.  Not so with Verizon.  For example, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.  Frequently the "moment of zen" at the end of The Daily Show is a few seconds after the end time of the show.  I could always see it at the beginning of the Colbert Report recording with Comcast. Now it is completely gone on the Verizon recordings.  South Park always runs several seconds long, but now I miss the end of every episode because it's not at the beginning of the Reno 911 recording.  THIS IS REALLY INFURIATING.
    -- Whether or not a show is New is not easily discernable from the guide.  The "New" icon needs to be one of the ones that show up in the guide listing, not just the info screen.  Having to hit the Info button to tell if a show is new or not really annoys me.
    -- The DVR does not offer to automatically extend the end time for live events as Comcast's did.  I have to go through several annoying steps to extend the end time.
    PROS
    -- I can record sporting events as a series, which Comcast didn't let me do.  This is great!  I no longer have to go through the guide and manually record English Premier League, Champions League or MLS games.  I just set up series recordings.  This, I REALLY like.
    -- The channel selection is way better (more HD, more music, more sports)
    -- I don't have to buy the entire latin language channel package just to get Gol TV which has english audio too.  THANK YOU!
    -- The series recordings do a much better job with cable shows that repeat a gazillion times a week than Comcast's did.  I couldn't even set many cable shows to be series recordings on Comcast or it would fill up my DVR.  THIS IS EXCELLENT.
    -- Changing what series are being recorded or their priority doesn't cause all the shows you removed from the recording schedule to magically appear back in the schedule to be recorded like Comcast's DVR does.  THIS ROCKS.
    So, there are several things I like a lot better than Comcast but there are also many things I hate about Verizon so far.  Coupled with the fact that my FiOS router just stopped working last night (blinking red light) requiring a new router to be sent meaning I'll have no internet all weekend (I'm at work right now), the fact that they still haven't buried the fiber and the fact that the installer lied to me about the green screen of death on my Mitsubishi, I'm seriously second guessing my decision to switch.

    Yeah that's exactly why HBO says no HD On Demand, even though it makes zero sense since it's no different than watching a regular HD broadcast. I don't find it too big of a deal though considering all of the HD HBO channels Fios has combined with HBO airing everything a million times a week. Plus, if it keeps HBO from putting those annoying logos and banners like the other premium channels (Starz, Showtime, etc.) then I'm fine with it. If I'm paying extra money for a channel, it shouldn't have those in my opinion. HBO and Fios will have to add more HD On Demand for free relatively soon in order to stay competitive. It should be an easy thing for them to do.
    The SD picture is better with a 7216 DVR than the 6416 DVRs. I also switched from Comcast and the SD picture with my 7216 is very noticeably better than Comcast's boxes, so I'd try playing around with your settings or switching to a 7216 box if you don't have one. Almost everybody I've talked to thinks their SD picture is better than comcast's. Mine, although not as clear as HD obviously, isn't pixelated or blurry at all. Even G4, a channel owned by Comcast, is greatly improved over Comcast's signal. G4 on Comcast was almost unwatchable it was so pixelated. Since Fios is fiber, they don't hav e to compress and degrade the signal as much as Comcast does .

  • How can I get Verizon FiOS in my condo complex?

    Hello I currently have Verizon DSL 3.0 and I want to get fios Internet only problem is Verizon hasn't installed fiber at my condo complex. Verizon is availabe in my city, can Verizon install fios in my condo? There's about 200 condominiums and half of them are interested in fios internet.

    I expect over the course of a few months from setup to completion. It all depends on how quick everything goes with the Condo Board and what sort of setup Verizon needs to do. When talking to them about it, make sure you ask them to allow Verizon to bring in Fiber to each unit and install an ONT to each unit as well. You won't be wanting Verizon to come in with a VDSL or VDSL2 product as then your Condo won't be getting any higher speed Quantum tiers.
    ========
    The first to bring me 1Gbps Fiber for $30/m wins!

  • Email photos from iPhoto 8 with Verizon Fios internet

    I am totally new to the wonderful mac world. I have a new iMac with Verizon Fios internet. When I try to automatically setup for emailing photos it tries to setup something with "incoming.yahoo....
    How do I go about setting up email sharing of photos?

    mrmole
    To email photos from within iPhoto you need to use one of the following applications for email:
    1. Apple's Mail (it comes with your Mac)
    2. Entourage
    3. AOL
    4. Eudora
    Only these four apps allow direct emailing from within iPhoto. You make your choice in the iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General pane.
    OF course, you need to set up these clients to work for email with your own email settings. Fir details on how to do that you'll ned to consult the Help on the particular app.
    If you use Web-based email, you cannot email from within iPhoto. In that case you can use one, some or any of the following:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How do I set up a Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model  Actiontec 424wi F series.  Does the wifi in the modem have to be shut off and will it effect the FIOS tv?

    How do I set up an Apple TC with a Verizon FIOS wireless modem model MI424wr F.  Does the wifi have to be turned off in the modem and then bridge it to the TC?  Will FIOS tv be effected?

    Your first call should be to Verizon support to ask them if you turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router....will it affect any of the features/functions of the FIOS system?
    If yes, then it would be best to leave the Actiontec router "as is" and connect the Time Capsule using Ethernet in Bridge Mode as a back up device only (wireless is turned off on the Time Capsule).
    If you want to use the dual band (and likely much faster) wireless capability of the Time Capsule, then you should turn off the wireless on the Actiontec device to help prevent wireless interference effects that will likely occur when two wireless routers are in close proximity to each other.
    Again, the Time Capsule would be connected to the Actiontec router using an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Actiontec router to the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule. Configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode as well in this type of configuration.
    Bottom line....what Verizon says will pretty much dictate how you can set up the TIme Capsule.

  • I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets.  Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

    I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router.  I currently have a Verizon FiOS router.  I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV.  However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box.  No HD, no DVR.  Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand.  Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

    I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
    Not sure what you are asking here.  The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
    If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area.  But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
    If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

    I thought there might be a enter button once you set the size you want. That is mainly what I am asking if you have to enter or set the choice we make.
    So you are wondering how to make the size change "permanent" for a channel? If so, no, there is no way. If you change the channel the screen size reverts to normal on the new channel, and if you go back to the one where you had set the size it is back to normal there also.

  • Sudden increase in Verizon FIOS internet & digital voice problems. No resolutions.

    We have had Verizon FIOS internet since Jan. 2008.  It has been reasonably reliable.  No disconnects... until mid-Dec 2012 when they started with a vengeance.  E-mail connections dropped (we had to re-start Outlook).  Usually, we couldn't "see" them in internet connections, but ping tests proved that they were occurring between aboaut 4 p.m. and midnight, rarely, if ever, during other hours of the day.
    We have had Verizon FIOS digital telephone (conversion from analog) for about one year.  It has reasonably reliable until mid-Dec when multiple problems occurred:  no stutter tone for voice mail, no notification on telephone "screen" for voice mail, no callers' names on "screen" (only "Out of Area"), and so on.  Each time, Verizon re-sets "the line" and it's okay for 24 to 36 hours, maybe 48 hours, if we're lucky.
    We've called repair over 20 times, which is above and beyond what sane people would do.  Now, we've had EEE-NUFF.
    Has anyone had the same experiences?  If yes, how did you resolve them?
    We're ready to chuck Verizon, but we haven't heard anything good about the few competitors around here.  That is, we don't want to go from the frying pan into the fire, BUT we want the above-noted problems fixed. 
    Thank you.

  • I'm really fed up with Verizon FIOS

    Hi everyone. 
    At start I want to say I'm really dissapointed with this service. I have 75/35, but even simple TWC was working better than this. I think only for about 2 weeks everything was fine and then it started to be really laggy. I'm a gamer and this is what I mostly use internet for. I'm also not American and I have real life friends in Europe. I want to be in contact with them and playing games together is really good. Now of course I could use US servers to play, but they can't. 
    Back in december 2012 laggs started - what was previously 100ms changed into 220ms. It lasted for about 2-3 months and then stopped. Finally I was able to play once again on european servers, but it didn't last long, because after some time it's back again, but this time in slightly different form: I can play one game with ping 100-130 which is completely fine with me and the next game gonna be around 160-220 ms which is unplayable. So it's completely random at any hour of the day. Like I've said before TWC was much more stable and cheaper. I'm paying almost twice as much for much worse service.
    I don't think it's my fault in fact I'm almost entirely sure it's not my fault. I don't want to call technical service just to hear I should restart the router or disconnect for 5 minutes and if that did not work, there is nothing else they can do. I bet even 6 years old kid knows how to restart router now. Why I say it's not my fault is because back when I had the energy to investigate the issue I discovered there are many people on Veriozn FIOS experiencing same/similar problems. Maybe for them it's not a problem, but for me it's huge. Maybe Verizon thinks it's fine to screw gamers, but I don't think this way.
    I'm a customer not a programmist and I don't want to be their Guinea pig I want to get service I'm paying for, and from what I heard it should be the best, well it's far from it, even youtube laggs. I also heard they have some troubles with google, but of that I'm not entirely sure.
    If these problems won't get solved in a few days, I'm going to dissconect the service and probably never tell a good word about service/company. I don't really care about which company I pay as long as they are doing fine. There are alternatives, so why should I wait until they fix the issues, if it takes them about half year or they don't get fixed at all. I don't know.
    TLDR: 
    Verizon FIOS = nice ads, bad service, bad customer suppprt
    TIL Cable is better than fiber.

  • Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

    Here's the deal.  I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router.  My house has CAT5 throughout the house.  The media panel is located in the garage.  I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office. 
    Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)?  Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment.  AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers.  they have to be wired to work.
    There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):
    Apple AirPort Networks
    Designing AirPort Networks
    AirPort Express Setup Guide
    The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.
