Network problem with Verizon in NYC and Jersey City

Hi
I have an IPhone 5 on my friends shared plan and ever since I joined Verizon , the network signal has been pathetic. I feel I am being duped of monthly bills as the there is nil coverage on my 41st floor office in downtown Manhattan as well as my residence in downtown Jersey City. Forget about 4G , even 3G stinks for Verizon in this area. My problem is one pays them to have phone for 24 hrs connectivity but Verizon doesn't offer me connectivity for 12 hours of the day I am in office and the only net connectivity on my iphone is when I am back home on my home wifi. I can't understand Verizon being a leader in telecom , can't invest in their infrastructure so that its users don't have to bear this pain.The kind of service you offer, I am sorry to say , is not up to your standards. Kindly suggest how would you solve my problem, I m barely 5 months into the plan and just don't want to be a cash cow to you where once I have signed a contract with you , you forget about your promise to offer me world class service and just expecting monthly payments from me.
Regards

    Hello NK
I would be happy to address any concerns today. I want you to love us. Service on the 41st floor could be very challenging. Here's a great link that will show you the network extender:http://bit.ly/AKkC
It's like a mini cell tower. What is your home zip code. I will check the area and look into this with you.

  • Network Problems with iOS 6.1 and iPhone 5

    I strongly believe that the network connections with iOS6 and my iPhone5 has serious problems. I am experiencing the following issues;
    Weak wifi signal at locations where I was enjoying good connection with iOS 6.0.1
    Sometime when I enter into a known wifi area, the phone does not connect to wifi automatically. I have to open the Settings App and go to wifi section to get it connected.
    Sometimes when I wake-up my phone from sleep, which is sleeping well within wifi range, it shows 3G connection and take some times to get connected to wifi.
    I am experiencing fast battery draining when compared to my phone with iOS 6.0.1
    FYI, I have already tried resetting my network settings and done hard restarting many times without success.
    Please advice any action to solve the problems.
    FYI, I have submitted the above to Apple via Apple feedback page.

    I am having the same issues with an iPhone 5 and it all started when I upgraded to iOS6.1.  I geat a strong wifi signal all 3 bars showing and speedtest shows a 20Mps upload and download connection (I have BT Infinity up to 70Mbps connection), however when I go onto safari or even simplae apps like weather or Sky News I am unable to connect  - regularly getting the message "Cannot connect to .... a wifi or 3G connection is required.  Occasionally it will work say 5% of the time bit having to switch to 3G and luckily I ahave an unlimited data package but the speeed is really slow ~ 2 Mps.  I have searched the web and see that Apple is saying there is a problem with Exchange server getting too meny messages and thus denying access but have followed the guidance given and reset the phone, resey the wifi connection and no change I can only use the phone on 3G.  I believe there is a big problem here and Apple need to get a fix out pretty quick.  If you read this and have the same issues then please log them so Apple know how big an issue this is.  I know it is not a wifi issue as getting great wifi on my iMAC and wife's iPhone 3.

  • Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

    Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

    I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced.  I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced.  My current one is working OK but does stick a bit.  Seems to get worse over time.  My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem.  Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
    I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen.  My wife has the Tour as well.  She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it.  It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts.  When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse.  Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster.  As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster.  If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play.  My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine.  I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this 

  • IE11 Problem with Windows 8.1 and IIS 8.5

    I have upgraded my computer from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, 64bit and IIS 8.5 is installed on the upgraded machine. I am unable to view with IE11 the default page of the default website  hosted on the local machine. The problem occurs with both
    the desktop version of IE11 and the Windows 8 metro style version.
    When Chrome is installed on the machine the page is visible but when using IE11 a "This page can't be displayed" message appears. The IIS Log Files reveal that it is receiving nothing from IE11. Other machines I have that have also been upgraded
    to Windows 8.1 exhibit the same fault.
    The strange thing is that when viewing pages on other networked machines exhibiting the same problem, you can see the pages on the remote machines but in all instances the local page cannot be viewed.
    It appears that there is a problem with IE11. Uninstalling and reinstalling IE11 does not fix the problem.
    Can anyone help me? Assitance with this problem would be most appreciated.

  • Serious Problem with Verizon

    I have a huge problem with Verizon.  I took my adult son to a local Verizon store and bought him a phone. When the phone was activated and an account set up, the clerk used MY personal information with my SON'S address for the service!  My son defaulted on the payments and because the bills were being mailed to my son's home, I was unaware of the unpaid bills... Until I received a notice from a collection agency at MY home address.  I immediately paid the outrageous bill and have been attempting ever since to delete the damage done to my credit!  This has been a total nightmare as I am trying to apply for a mortgage. 
    I have called and called Verizon but continue to be shuffled around.  I just need someone to hear me out and help me clear up this mess!! It can easily be proven that I've never lived at the address the bills/emails were being sent.  I know the negative reporting to my credit can be deleted.  It is the goodwill thing to do.  I have faith that Verizon has employees that can help resolve my situation!  PLEASE HELP.
    Michael K.

    Who was responsible for the bill?  Who's account was it on?  Was the son made an account manager?  Why did the son not inform you of the issues as it was his responsibility?  If you allowed him on your account, then he is your responsibility.  Just like co-signing for a car for someone...they come after you as well.

  • The problem with Verizon

    It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the problem with Verizon is their IT strategy and their lack of communications.  None of their systems can talk to each other. 
    That's why when a FIOS tech comes to your house and doesn't know what your order was supposed to be, its because the system that generated the order originally, isnt the same system that the tech looks at before he/she goes to your house. 
    On top of that, the customer was lied to from the very beginning by a door-to-door outsourced salesperson that doesn't know what specials the company is having and just makes anything up to make the sale.  They're paid their commission, then they end up getting fired or quit in less than a month or so. The poor Verizon FIOS tech that visits the customer ends up bearing the brunt of the customer's frustration because the customer was told that they wouldn't have to pay for any of the extras that they want and that they can cancel at any time when the FiOs tech knows that they can't make that deal.  
    To add to this problem, whenever there is a problem with your order, the tech has to call into a phone number where they are put on hold in the same manner that customers are and made to wait (sometimes hours) for the customer service or dispatch rep to figure out that the order was put in the order.  Then they try to figure out why the tech was at the customer's house for so long...hmmm, I wonder.
    Then, when the customer finally gets the service and tries to pay their bill, the bill has numerous excessive charges for which the they weren't aware.  They call the customer service line and get put on hold 5 times and have to re-explain their situation every time a new person picks up.  The customer service rep agrees to remove the charge from the bill.  Two months later when the charge is still appearing on their bill, they have to continue to call again until they get so frustrated that they cancel their service....and the cycle repeats when a new special is offered and the customer agrees to give them a second chance.  I wonder how much this is costing the company???
    Why do I know all this?  My boyfriend is a Verizon FiOs. tech.  And I am a Verizon customer.  I've been trying to pay my bill online for 2 months and the website keeps telling me that "They are experiencing a problem and I should try back later." Should a multi-BILLION dollar company take more than a few minutes or hours to correct this problem?   TWO MONTHS!!!???  
    Seriously, these Verizon IT executives should be embarassed.  They are to blame for not only the technical issues that the technicians experience every day on the job, but also the customer service problems because their ERP system doesn't talk to their CRM or Order management system.   It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they need a web-based, real-time solution to fix this problem. 

    FlyerQ has it exactly right.  What is sad is that it's not like it is huge cost to upgrade port capacity.  With the cost per meg that they charge for FiOS there is plenty of margin there for them to be good internet citizens.  The reason I'm sure they are against doing so is that would provide less opportunity to extort money from the content providers.
    Unfortunately it is not surprising that Verizon is acting in this way considering they are the company that sued to get the legal authority to damage the internet (killing net neutrality).
    The one point I'd disagree with FlyerQ on is being infuriated with Netflix.  Verizon is advertising upgrading to 50 or 75Mbps connections.  If their customers all want to stream Netflix at once that should not be a problem.  We're talking about ~3Mbps for an outstanding experience or utilization of about 1/17th of what they advertise.  Making sure they have enough port capacity to handle that is part of what we are paying for.  But they choose to harm their customers in the hope that they can also collect from providers.

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.

  • Problem with java swing button and loop

    Problem with java swing button and loop
    I�m using VAJ 4.0. and I�m doing normal GUI application. I have next problem.
    I have in the same class two jswing buttons named start (ivjGStart) and stop (ivjGStop) and private static int field named Status where initial value is 0. This buttons should work something like this:
    When I click on start button it must do next:
    Start button must set disenabled and Stop button must set enabled and selected. Field status is set to 1, because this is a condition in next procedure in some loop. And then procedure named IzvajajNeprekinjeno() is invoked.
    And when I click on stop button it must do next:
    Start button must set enabled and selected and Stop button must set disenabled.
    Field status is set to 0.
    This works everything fine without loop �do .. while� inside the procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno(). But when used this loop the start button all the time stay (like) pressed. And this means that a can�t stop my loop.
    There is java code, so you can get better picture:
    /** start button */
    public void gStart_ActionEvents() {
    try {
    ivjGStart.setEnabled(false);
    ivjGStop.setEnabled(true);
    ivjGStop.setSelected(true);
    getJTextPane1().setText("Program is running ...");
    Status = 1;
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    /** stop button */
    public void gStop_ActionEvents() {
    try {
    ivjGStart.setEnabled(true);
    ivjGStart.setSelected(true);
    ivjGStop.setEnabled(false);
    getJTextPane1().setText("Program is NOT running ...");
    Status = 0;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    /** procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno() */
    public void IzvajajNeprekinjeno() {  //RunLoop
    try {
    int zamik = 2000; //delay
    do {
    Thread.sleep(zamik);
    PreberiDat(); //procedure
    } while (Status == 1);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    So, I'm asking what I have to do, that start button will not all the time stay pressed? Or some other aspect of solving this problem.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Tomi

    This is a multi thread problem. When you start the gui, it is running in one thread. Lets call that GUI_Thread so we know what we are talking about.
    Since java is task-based this will happen if you do like this:
    1. Button "Start" is pressed. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    2. Event gStart_ActionEvents() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    3. Method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    4. Sleep in method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() on thread GUI_Thread
    5. Call PreberiDat(). Thread running: GUI_Thread
    6. Check status. If == 1, go tho 4. Thread running: GUI_Thread.
    Since the method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() (what does that mean?) and the GUI is running in the same thread and the event that the Start button has thrown isn't done yet, the program will go on in the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method forever and never let you press the Stop-button.
    What you have to do is do put either the GUI in a thread of its own or start a new thread that will do the task of the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method.
