Lost service now have to take a day off

I was actually able to get thru the phone tree to an agent relatively quickly.  But the problem apparently is with the optical box installed on the outside of my house.  So the only way to get a service repair technician out to my house to check  is for me to take a day off, wait for someone to show up, just to be there so I can verify that it was corrected.    The problem I have with this, is that I lost service when they installed service for one of my neighbors.  Don't know if they are connected but since I have only had the service for 9 months I doubt that it is faulty equipment.     A couple of days ago someone from Verizon had some kind of meter connected to the box outside of my townhouse.  He said he was making sure I didn't lose service when my neighbors service was installed.    Why do I have to be there for them to check the box?  If it needs to be replaced,  that can be done without me,  the technology is there for the to check to see if service is being sent to my house ( they could check it last night without anyone coming out to my home,  as a matter of fact it was diagnosed using their computer system)    If it is I can use the in home agent to finish resetting it once I get home from work.    Anyone had any luck in getting around the "you have to be home to get someone to come out and check Verizon's equipment, and recent work?

Just a follow up,  I took half a vacation day to be here for the Verizon technician.  He looked at the box outside and said, Yes the contraction cut the line to your service.  Here is where he left a new one, but since he can't open the box to my house he couldn't reconnect it.  It took ten minutes for the technician to run a new wire.  Since the modem was turned off that had to be turned on, other than that no reason for me to be here, except to verify that the work was completed.
So, thanks to Verizon's inability to hire compentent contractors, their customer service that really isn't for the customers, My employer lost my time for the day, and I lost a vacation day. 
Since I am encouraged to use the online agent for every thing the fact that they insisted I be home is just another example of poor customer service.
Do you think they will really credit me for two days that I didn't have service?

  • TS1292 Purchased gift cards about a year ago. Misplaced two of them. Found them yesterday, tried to use one today. Invalid. If the money is tagged to the card code why is it invalid? Now have to take photos of both sides and find receipt? Guess out $20?

    Purchased gift cards about a year ago. Misplaced two of them, but Found them yesterday. i tried to use one today. Invalid. If the money is tagged to the card code why is it invalid? Now have to take photos of both sides and find receipt? Finding the receipt might take as long as .finding the cards. If I paid hard earned money for the card from a computer company why would that card not be in their data base waiting to be activated? I guess I am out $20 to Apple for not activating immediately! My account was hacked once so I won't put a credit card in and live with gift cards. Now I am getting hit for $20, two gift cards for ten each. I now question who and how people are making money?? Is my only solution, buy card, redeem code instantly, purchase item?

  • Can the Charge with a case fit in the Samsung media dock? or do I have to take the case off?

    can the Charge with a case fit in the Samsung media dock? or do I have to take the case off?
    thanks!

    Dear SandraW,
    Of course, there are may cases out there for the Charge but I would have to say generally, no. I have the desk dock and it looks like the Charge fits very snugly into the dock, and that the seat molded into the dock for the phone is an exact match for the side profile of the Charge.
    I have the shell/holster case for the Charge that is standard VZW accessory, and having the Charge in the shell portion of the case would prevent it from docking.
    I do have a Skin-It skin on the back of the phone, and this does NOT prevent docking.

  • I need an extender for my iphone5 so that when I charge my phone on my home, i won't have to take my cover off

    I recently bought a cover for my new iphone5.  If I want to charge it or listen to music, I must take the cover off and it weakens the expensive cover every time.  when I owned my iphon4s, I was able to purchase an extender and never had to take the cover off.  Now I need the same sort of thing.  I was able to find an adapter that sits on an iphone4 doc that has its other end compatible with an iphone5, but it won't play my music, it only chargers.  Help  kim h

    Connect the iPhone to the computer via USB and select it in iTunes.  Go to the Photos tab, set it to not copy photos to the phone, then Apply or Sync.

  • Backup would take a day... if it came to an end

    Strange: Backup always went fast, but now it would take a day - if the connection to the phone weren't lost in the meantime.
    What might be wrong? And how could I fix that?
    Thanks a lot!
    Peter

    I also had this same problem. It would take forver for my iPhone to backup then I actually waited for it back-up then tried 2 days later and it went faster. I'm thinking that if you back-up your iPhone on schuedle then it will go faster.

  • 9IFS take 3 days to startup

    Hi,
    Hi,
    My company has a P4 1.7, w2k server in 2G of Ram. We using Oracle 9.0.1 database and 9ifs 9.0.1. However, the 9ifs get very slow after the server has been reboot. The 9ifs would get fine after 2 to 3 days. The reason is a Oracle Services called "InterMedia", it take 3 days to finish startup process. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
    Ken

    The problem is probably the extraction of text information from a large number of or very large graphic files.
    When IFS restarts, the InterMediaAnnotatorAgent will look for all documents which are categorized as being indexable by the agent (by default GIF, TIFF, JPG, WAV, AVI, BMP, MPEG, MPE, RA, RM, RV, MOV, QT) and which do not have categories (which they would have if the agent succeeded indexing them), and tries to index them.
    The problem might be that the annotator was unsuccessful in indexing them for some reason, and therefore is not successful in creating the categories. So the next time the agent is restarted, it tries again.
    To determine if there are problems annotating documents, look in your node.log for errors following the message "InterMediaAnnotatorAgent: Parsing contents..."
    If there are lots of errors, and you don't need the text indexing extraction capabilities, you could just turn off the InterMediaAnnotatorAgent from running (by changing the Agent configuration).
    Or you should determine what the errors are and try to resolve them before restarting the InterMediaAnnotatorAgent again.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT4061 I have tried for 3 days now to restore my iPhone 4, because someone changed my password, and it is impossible. I tried contacting Apple, but need my serial number to even begin the process of chatting with them.  How do I contact Apple, or get my S

    Someone changed my password for my iPhone 4. I have attempted to restore my device now for 3 days, continually being hooked up to the computer, continually having to restart, continually having to power off and then place the device in DFU mode.  I would LOVE to speak with someone from Apple, the only problem is to even begin to wait in line to chat with an Apple representative, I need my device's serial number to begin the lovely process of waiting in line.  How do I A)-Get the device's serial number when it is locked? B)-Begin to wait in line without said serial number?  I am beginning to think it would be much easier to just report the device as stolen, then contact my carrier and have them replace this device.  Am I doing something wrong for it to take 3+ days to restore? It has the most current, up to date software on the device, why in the world would it take 3+ days to simply restore to factory settings?

    If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
    Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?

  • I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile.  For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day.  It can't find tmobile on my phone?

    I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile.  For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day.  It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem?  tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
    If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process.  Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

  • HT202213 can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with phone do I have to connect shared library again on phone in evening when back in house?

    Can home sharing link automatically or do I have to connect each time after connection is lost ie if i leave house for day with iphone or ipad do I have to connect shared library again on iphone/ipad in evening when back in house? It would be good if it just links automatically

    Well then maybe I misunderstood what you meant even though now that you explained it again, I should have though about that.
    When you leave the house in the morning with your device, you lose the connection to the library because you are no longer on the same WiFi network as you are at home. You have to be on the same network in order to use Home Sharing. Once you get home again, you have to select the Shared Library again.
    I apologize for the confusion or misunderstanding.

  • I've gotten a SIM card failure message and lost service 4 times in the past half a day

    I've gotten a 'SIM card failure' message and lost service 4 times in the past half a day. Turning the phone off and on fixes it temporarily. Any similar problems? What did you do?

        this is definitely not the experience we want you to have with your phone wme1221. I recommend a SIM card pull. What type of phone do you have? Is the phone damaged?

  • First timer.  Just installed Time Capsule.  The first backup looks like it will take two days at the pressent speed.  Can I close MacBook Pro and have first back up  continue, and can I unplug and plug in at work without affecting the backup?

    I'm a first timer on this (or any) help site. I just installed Time Capsule.  The first backup looks like it will take two days at the present speed.  Can I close MacBook Pro and have first back up continue, and can I unplug tomorrow and plug in at work without affecting the backup?

    Hi Oneinspirit,
    Time Machine backups can be paused by choosing "Stop Backing Up" from the Time Machine icon on the right hand side of your menu bar ( ). Once you're ready to resume the backup, you can choose "Back Up Now" from the same icon.
    Start a backup: Click the Time Machine icon  in the menu bar, then choose Back Up Now.
    Pause a backup: Click the Time Machine icon  in the menu bar, then choose Stop Backing Up.

  • Have a 5 min clip and it takes 8 days to render!!!  Any help???

    I have a Mac Pro, 2 x 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 11GB of RAM. I've noticed since I upgraded to Final Cut Pro 7 render times have seemed to take longer and longer. I've tolerated it up to this moment. I have a 5 min clip that will supposedly take "8 days" to render. I tried to wait it out to see whether it would speed up but no luck. Is this strictly the processors fault, I just don't have enough processing speed? Or is there something else going on?

    11GB of RAM? that's a very odd number. FCP likes nice even numbers. RAM in pairs.
    Now...what type of footage are you working with? What kind of effects have you added to these? Do you have any stills in the project that are between 2000pixels and 4000pixels (those take a while to render)? What are your sequence settings?
