Mandatory Cancellati​on Fee since Fios isn't offered where I'm moving to?

I'm 10 months into a 1 year contract with Verizon Fios. I'm moving in a couple weeks and Fios isn't available, only basic telephone service. I'm being told by Verizon's cancellation department that I have to pay a $177 cancellation fee. It's a mandatory fee, there's nothing they can do, I was told "as soon as I enter the cancellation in the system, the fee automatically appears on the bill and you have to pay it". I can understand if I just called to cancel to switch to a cheaper competitor, fine -- the cancellation fee is warranted but Fios isn't even available yet at my new location.
Why is it the customers fault that Fios isn't installed throughout the entire state of NJ? Does Verizon really think that when Fios does become available there's any chance I'll switch back after having to pay this fee? I'm also going to have to seriously reevaluate my wireless plan. That two year agreement was up last year. It might just be a perfect time to switch to AT&T wireless. Why continue to give business to Verizon when they obviously just don't care?

You are the one breaking the contract by moving not vice versa. They are providing a contract at your current address not your new one.

    Then you will need to search for a 3rd party program to transfer content
    Pasted from another thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2234756?start=0&tstart=0
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump andiPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?

    I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

  • DSL contract changes not possible since FIOS is available?

    I've been a Verizon DSL customer for 4-5 years. Only the 1.5Mbps is available to us. FIOS became available shortly after I signed for DSL. For the past year (or 2?), I've been considering moving out of state, as a result, I've been on the monthly plan (~$39/month). Yesterday I called Verizon because I wanted to see what the current DSL prices were (768Kbps service and the yearly price for the 1.5Mbps service) and if maybe the 3Mbps service had become available. To my surprise, I was told that I could not make any change to my DSL service since FIOS was available..... Now, I would love to need FIOS, but I can not justify the price for that cool toy when I don't even benefit from/use in full the 1.5Mbps DSL service....
    Is this everybody's experience? Is that a new move for Verizon to try to pay for the fiber optic infrastructure they laid down? I mean, this is not something I asked them to do.... I'd rather have them go with faster DSL speed instead of fiber (that's what they have in other countries, ADSL 20 or 30Mbps) rather than not provide me a choice.... I've been a loyal customer and feel cheated. As much as I hate it, I'll have to look at what the cable company now offers since every dollar spent counts.
    I'm probably a bad customer for all players involved (cheapest phone service, cheapest TV service, not cheapest DSL service).

    When I moved in Auguest I had no problem getting the current DSL at my new place. I flat out told them if they said I had to have FIOS I would go to Comcast. Maybe you got someone new or something. I would try again. If you don't get the answer you want talk to a supervisor and if you still don't get the answer you want they have a line for people who have been unable to resolve issues through those normal channels. It is in the phone book. I have used it before. Good luck. I hope you are able to work it out.

  • I can't install iTunes 10 since this isn't supported by Mac Os 10.4.11

    Help. I can't synchronize my iPhone 4g on my powermac G5 because I can't install iTunes 10 since this isn't supported by Mac Os 10.4.11. And I can't upgrade to mac os 10.5 because my computer processor (a PowerPC G5) does not support mac os 10.5.
    Does anyone know how to help me?

    Yes, call Apple and buy a copy of Leopard (10.5.x). Snow Leopard (10.6.x) only runs on Intel, Leopard does run on PowerPC.

  • Why FIOS isn't available?

    I live in Lowell, Massachusetts. I have listened and watched ads on TV about FIOS for nearly 12 years now. Every year I have called up Verizon and asked about getting FIOS and each year I get the same answer, "FIOS isn't available in your area yet." Yet, there are neighboring towns and cities that already have it. I ask, when will it be available and I get the same answer, "go to our web site and fill out the page to get a notice for when it will be available." Almost 12 years now and still nothing. FIOS still isn't available in my area, zip code 01854. Just getting the run around from Verizon again. One reason why I dropped them for my telephone and internet services.
    Solved!

    This is a peer-to-peer support forum where volunteer users try to help others in the same boat.  I'm sure you're already aware that the only thing you can do is maintain contact with Verizon Communications and hope for the best.  Frankly I don't think they're in expansion mode just now with respect to capital expenditure for FiOS infrastructure.  Recent press reports indicate that the emphasis now is on expanding in the wireless area rather than the "bricks and mortar" business of FiOS networks.
    HUMOR ALERT
    If nothing else seems to work, perhaps a novel approach is in order. Have you checked with anyone in nearby Salem MA?  It's only about 20 miles away, and there used to be a bunch over there with strange powers who could get just about anything done (for a price).
    END HUMOR ALERT
    Sorry, couldn't resist, and I do indeed wish you success.  I waited a long time to escape from my old cable provider, so I know your pain.

  • Palm Pre email problems since FIOS switched outgoing ports

    My Pre is on Sprint but ever since FIOS sent the email that they were changing outgoing ports, my phone can no longer send emails, but it receives fine.  Just hoping someone has advice/answer...
    TIS

    Really appreciate your assistance! My hosting people are being no help at all. I'm very familiar with "edit server list" - have been there often. It is my hosting person who tells me their logs show that none of the various emails I failed to receive on the first sending - for which I expand the headings and forwarded to him - have ever reach their server and therefore something's going wrong "out there" and they're not responsible. He even just suggested I sign up with gmail for my email service since I've been so much trouble to him. I've had an email address on my own server for ten years now - [email protected] - and don't want to change it!
    I corrected the terrible instructions I got from AppleCare and reversed my incoming and outgoing server settings to audaud.com for regular email and to mail.aracnet.com SMPT for my two personal email addresses I want to send thru Aracnet. (and am paying them to forward them to the audaud.com server). However, when I just tried to reply to an email I received to [email protected] I got a warning I never saw before: (Thought I could attach a screenshot of it but can't seem to) It says "cannot send the message using the server audaud.com." Yet a few minutes later I sent an email to several of the writers for my site and it was sent. The settings were the same!
    My hosting people told me to use Port 26 for sending but they refuse to tell me which port to use for INCOMING mail (using POP). Maybe the port settings are fouling me up, but why do they cause problems only part of the time? I don't use SSL.
    Doesn't everyone receive via their email client "all the emails that get to the server?" Again: any directions on deleting the non-working import of the Eudora Address Book and doing it again properly with Eudora Mailbox cleaner?

    Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
    Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
    This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.

  • I'm on a prepaid plan for the 4s, i want the hotspot option which isn't offered on the prepaid plan.  heard the connection is too slow on the 4s only worth it on the 5 or 5s. would you agree? not sure how much the hotspot would increase my monthly bill...

    To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.

    Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
    resetpassword
    Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.

    A 6 year user of Firefox, and all of a sudden you are complaining about the lack of a toll-free telephone support number?
    Mozilla has '''''never''''' provided telephone support, and probably never will due to the cost involved.
    How would they amortize the cost of that type of operation, while providing a free browser to everyone around the globe who uses it?
    If you can figure out a way to do that, I'm sure they would listen to your proposal.

    If you want support in this forum, from the user volunteers who help other users, please explain your problem with a little more detail. And maybe provide a screenshot of your problem, so we can actually "see" your problem and not have to rely on your verbal interpretation of that problem.

    install canon printer on macbook air?  I've got as far as add printer - the printer name appears as the software is installed but when I go to choose a driver, mine isn't listed - where is it?  what do I do? Tearing hair out...

    Thanks for telling us the printer model. You are right - it isn't in the software available for auto-download from Apple servers.
    Are you using the version 3.66 CAPT driver released in Jun 2014?
    Get it from:
    http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i- SENSYS_LBP5000.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:13-920158&os=OS%20X%20v10 .9&language=
    It is a disk image (.dmg) file. You must double-click to "mount" the disk image, then install using the installer inside that.
    Please let us know if that helps. There are more thing to try.

  • What happened to the "lock" symbol that used to appear when on a secure site? I haven't seen it since the last update, so it's either moved or you took it out. I really miss it!

    What happened to the "lock" symbol that used to appear to signify that you were on a secure site? I haven't seen it since the previous update, so it's either moved & I haven't found it, or you took it out. If you did, I want it back!

    It's stuck on a yellow question marked "multimedia audio controller." It doesn't like the CD drivers or the drivers snarfed from the aborted "you don't have an sb controller installed" pull from windows\temp\CF whatever it was. It's 3am and I've been trying to get this stupid thing running for 7 hours now. I'm going to bed. I will see if it is any smarter tomorrow morning.
    It was running great until I did an "update from the web." If I hadn't have done that I'd have no complaints. Now it's hosed and I can't even get back to where I was before. I'm not impressed with creative's installation procedure.
    However, there are many people complaining about the "you don't have an SB installed" problem. Creative needs a "delete everything" button, and an "install all new drivers" button. Take a page out of ATI's book in the number of headaches created by windows installer and come up with a way to fix them yourself. ATI did. This would at least get me back to the BSOD, which right now I'm longing for.
    This is on a shuttle st6g4 with a disable ac97 sound nonsense with those drivers removed.
