No TV service today? See you tomorrow

I never do this, but I am appalled by the solution/customer service to my problem today, maybe its just me, maybe others have experienced the same issue.
A little background, after some convincing and researching, we switched to Verizon Fios from Time Warner less than 1 week ago.
Now in my area, Fios is just beginning to pop-up, some towns still do not have Fios.
Today, I was watching TV, pressed the up on the channel control on my remote and the HD/DVR box shuts off then it appeared to be rebooting. After about 20 minutes or so of this cycle repeating itself, I called Verizon.
I waited 15 minutes to speak to someone to explain my problem. After explaining it to him, he did whatever he did on the other end of the phone which was never explained to me. In the end, he said the box might be bad, whatever he did, did not work.
I asked what the next step was. His response was to overnight a box to me, IMO that is unacceptable to me, I am paying for this service and customer support inevitably. I declined and he said that they will have to schedule a time for someone to come out. So I asked what time will he be here? I was told that there is no one available until tomorrow. So I asked to speak to a supervisor.
I was told by the supervisor the same thing. He said there are no techs available, the soonest one can be here is in between 9am and 12pm. Mind you this is now about 2:30 in the afternoon. I waited a half hour for him to contact "dispatch" and get back to me with this info.
Now I am regretting switching from TW. When I had a problem, it was resolved that day. I would call customer service, they would resolve it over the phone or have a tech come to my residence the same day.
You mean to tell me, there is not 1 tech that they can send to my house to plug a new box in? Do they want to keep customers in an area where they are just starting to become popular? Has anyone else experienced this or a similar problem??? I am so frustrated by this!

Next-day service sounds pretty good to me. I think your expectations are unreasonable. Read a book or watch a couple of DVDs. In my area Verizon has storefronts where you can walk in and swap boxes, maybe you can do the same.

The lies that customer services reps tell you.

My horrible experience with Verizon customer service today, 3 different representatives completely lied to me and told me 3 different instructions on how to get the new iPhone 6 plus which resulted in me losing my whole day for nothing. Only to have a Verizon customer service supervisor tell me that there was no records of any of my conversations with any of these customer service reps. Needless to say as a customer I am so unhappy with the way I have been treated and lied to that I don’t even feel safe keeping my service with Verizon. I am afraid and that the next time I call with a question I now have no trust in anything that a Verizon customer service rep tells me. Read the below for details in my awful and exhausting expertise with Verizon today.
Today I went down to the Apple store to edge up my phone to the new iPhone 6 Plus. If you are told that you can do this as well think again. I know Apple has restricted when the new phones are available for the cell phone providers but they should have thought of a way for customers to more easily get phones through the Apple store since they don’t have it. To start this story off I had pre ordered the new iPhone 6 plus back in the beginning of September which I was going to have it shipped to the address I was living at. The pre order was not going to make it to me until October 28. Well last week I had to move and needed to change my shipping address. So when I called Verizon they said that they would have to cancel my order and re do it all over again in order to change the address, this sent my shipping date of the pre order back to October 31. I then asked if I were to find the phone at the Apple store sooner could I cancel this order and get it there. I was told that I would be able to go into the Apple store and get the phone if they got it in stock before I received my pre order. This morning I attempted to do exactly that. I called the Apple store to see if they had the iPhone 6 Plus in stock and they did, which has been hard to find lately. I then proceeded and called Verizon to cancel my pre order and ask about how I would go about getting my phone at Apple. The person I talked to said that when I got to the Apple store and got my phone and before I paid all I need to do was call Verizon back and that they would work out a way to pay my remaining balance on my edge phone. I then drove 20 miles to the Apple store and did what I was told and called Verizon when I got there, they said that what the other person from Verizon said was not true. This new person told me what I had to do now was go to the Verizon store and pay my remaining balance and turn my phone in. Then I would be able to go back to Apple and get the new phone and keep my edge plan. At this point from talking to many people with Verizon and having to re explain what I was try to do, I asked this guy to put a note in my account of what he told me. This way when I got to the store they would know what I was trying to do. So I drove 5 miles back from where I came and got to the Verizon store, not a dealer the actual store, and talked to a sales associate who then told me there wasn’t a way for them to do what the guy on the phone said they could do. I was told by this sales associate and a manager that their system would only let me pay my remaining balance singularity, that the only way their system would let me pay my remaining balance to edge up was if I was getting the phone through them at the Verizon store. This didn’t make any since to me because I was still getting my plan though Verizon just not through that particular store. I began to get a little upset and told the sales associate to call Verizon and ask them what to do because every person I talked to on the phone though Verizon told me that I would be able to get my phone at Apple and edge up. They didn’t call at first instead they kept trying to get it to work though their system. The manager then told me again that they couldn’t do it and I insisted that they call Verizon and figure this out because I have driven so far and canceled my pre order to trade in my phone and now I am being told I cant. The manager then walked away and told his sales associate to call them. After waiting another 20 minutes for Verizon to answer the two associates talked about what I was trying to do and this new person on the phone wanted to talk to me. She made me explain my story all over again what I was told and a what I was trying to do and she said that what the people at Verizon store said was true and that they don’t know what the other people were talking about and that I can’t pay my remaining balance on my phone do I could edge up and get my phone at the Apple store. I told her then why has everyone been telling me I can, she said I don’t know, I told her that wasn’t good enough. By this time I was really upset and started to raise my voice a little bit. I have worked in the customer service industry for over 10 years and I know that when a customer is yelling at you it’s a bit unnerving. So I kept my cool as much as I could and didn’t swear or anything. I merely made my point that this wasn’t right and that I felt much abused as a customer. There is no reason why I should be lied to by more than one person, if I would have known that I couldn’t at first then I would have been just fine waiting until the end of October to get my pre order. Though I got so excited that the Apple store had the phone that I wanted and that Verizon told me I would be able to go down there and get it and then I rushed through my job, skipped lunch and canceled an appointment to do this just to find out I was lied to and sent on a wild goose chase, this just wasn’t right. While I had the latest person on the phone I asked if my calls have been recorded and noted to see if there was any documentation as to what I have been told and she said no there wasn’t, I told her that this was unacceptable from a customer service stand point. So I left the Verizon store really unhappy, upset and empty handed. The impression I got from both the sales associate from the store and this new person on the phone was that they wanted to make sure that the money I would pay for the phone went to them and not someone else. Which is poor customer services ethics. Also I lost my place in line for the pre order and would probably have to wait even longer to get it. So now I am beating if I should just cancel my line and get the phone through a different provider that won’t send me through the ringer when I call customer service.

I had the same exact thing happen to me. I can't believe the lies these customer service people are told to tell yiu

How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?

How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?

To see what reports are running, take a look at the execution log views that are available in the database. Which views that are available are dependent on your version of SSRS.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159110.aspx
To see which application is using SSRS is a little more difficult. You can turn HTTP logging on, which will give you an idea of where connections are coming from, so you can see IP addresses. You can also look at the execution log view to see
user accounts. So, depending on your environment and use of service accounts, this could be easy, or difficult.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630443.aspx
If all else fails you can look for clues in the SSRS logs. Good luck...

Why would I get an important message that says, "I can see you" It was a loud alarm with a message box.

My Iphone 4s had a loud alarm with a text box that said I can see you! I was trying to copy and paste in my contacts at the time it occured. It kinda freaked me out.

This was an iCloud message. I received an email that was from find myiphone. It stated your message was sent to the phone. The funny thing is that I don't remember messing around with the find my iPhone feature. I may try to explore the find my iPhone feature some more. Thanks for the responses everyone. The message had a loud continuous alarm even though my phone was set to vibrate.
Thanks again

SSRS web services 401 if you pass "Authorization" http header

We use both SSRS 2008 R2 and 2012. When i access a report using url access (direct ssrs server hit) and add a "Authorization: Bearer xyzelkalklsjsdfalsjdf" http header, i get a 401 from somewhere in the request pipeline. I have a custom httpmodule
registered at the top of the chain which does some OAuth related security checks. But when this header is included, the request never reaches the httpmodule. If i change the header slightly ex: "YAuthorization: ljlxzcvc..", then the request reaches
the httpmodule and everything works. So obviously SSRS is looking for a particular header named "Authorization" and does something with it. Point to note: we have implemented a custom forms authentication module and we are doing some rich authorization
using the extensible ssrs api.
Now my questions are:
1. What is happening here? Who is acting on my request before my HttpModule registered on top in ssrs\reporting service\web.config gets it?
2. How do i ensure my httpmodule executes before whatever component is terminating my request with a 401

Sorry if this sounds like I am new to this but I am.
So, the extended version is the format that would be used if you were not utilizing the files that the wsdl2java function creates?
And this is done to when you want more flexibiility for the user to call your service?
So, you would push to have the stub files used when you want to control how the web service is used?
thanks for the feedback.

Hi Glenrose,
That would be between the you and the carrier that you have the contract with. In the past, I was able to purchase only one month of service from AT&T. Not sure what carrier you have or what contract you have, but you would have to cancel it with them.

Customer service, what do you think?

A couple of weeks ago residents in my village started experiencing problems using their telephones. The fault, which was intermittent, caused the exchange to return dial tone, following the dialling of a number. Dropping the connection and redialling resulted in the connection being made, but this was very often only after a few attempts.
I contacted BT Retail (BTR) and after enduring numerous line tests etc I was informed that as the fault was in the exchange and that I had to report the problem to Open Reach (OR) on 0800-023-2023. After being passed from department to department, I was eventually told categorically that OR could not accept fault reports from customers and that I had to report it to BT Retail (BTR), who would then raise a fault with OR.
I called BTR, again, and after more line tests a fault was raised with OR. It was then 'reported' by BT that the fault had been cleared, although it hadn't been as the problem persisted. After more line tests etc. an engineer rang me to say that he was on route to the exchange and would ring me from there, needless to say he didn't. I then received a text saying that the fault had been cleared.
As said the fault is intermittent, it is only apparent if the faulty piece of exchange equipment is allocated to a customer, when they try to make a call. Therefore if you are lucky you might not experience the problem for perhaps a couple of days.
The problem however, did manifest itself again so I rang 150 again and was connected to the BT 'faults' department. I gave the reference VOL012-********** and was told that the fault had been cleared and closed. I was then requested to provide an description of the fault and there then followed long periods on hold, whilst records were checked and advice sought. At the end of all this another line test was insisted upon, which unsurprisingly was passed. The confusion however continued, and I was informed that an engineer would have to be be sent out to my property and that a charge of £120 would be made, if it transpired that no fault was found.
More discussion took place until it became obvious that the young lady I was speaking with had not understood anything that had been discussed. At this point I asked to speak with a manager and after another long period on hold I was informed that all the managers were on the telephone and that one would call me back within two hours. Later I was rung by Gareth (0800-028-5085, who informed me that in fact, the engineer who attended the exchange could not find a fault with the equipment and that was why, without any recourse to me, the fault had been closed.
Gareth asked me to use another telephone to undertake more tests and promised he would ring me in the morning. I did as requested and dialled '150' repeatedly for 10 minutes. The results were as expected, either ringing tone was received, or dial tone was returned, producingd a random pattern depending on whether the faulty piece of equipment was allocated, or not. If more digits were then dialled, following dropping back to dial tone, they had no effect, however after 20 seconds an announcement saying "Please hang up and try again", was received. I also contacted several friend to confirm that they were still experiencing the problem and they confirmed that they were..
Gareth rang again today and insisted that as no fault had been found at the exchange he could not raise the fault again without sending an engineer to my home. He stated that if no fault was found I would have to pay £120 and that if I didn't agree to this there was no way he could proceed. I refused to agree to my being charged £120 as I've been incorrectly charged in the past, when 2 engineers were sent to fix the same fault on the same day and the second reported it as fault not found. It took me a lot of time and effort to get the money refunded.
Of course I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that the OR engineer did not conduct a series of conclusive tests, or perhaps just pulled out each card and reinserted it, possible 'temporarily' clearing an intermittent contact on the card, or backplane and as he was unable to locate the fault he reported it as Fault Not Found.
The problem is incidentally a repeat of exactly the same exchange fault, that occured in June last year. It is impossible to believe that the same problem, which was cleared last year and now after 7 months, has reappeared and is causing exactly the same problem can necessitate an engineer visit to my home before it can be raised again with OR. I reiterate, this problem is being experienced by other customers connected to the our telephone exchange, therefore logic must indicate the problem is due to a fault in the exchange common equipment.
Lets get this straight, I'm attempting to assist BT by helping them resolve a problem, that is being experienced by many customers on the Hassocks telephone exchange. I did not expect to have to devote hours of my time, or be subjected to the Spanish Inquisition to do this. Quite why BT is incapable of rectifying a reported fault in its exchange, without making the threat of charging £120, if they can't find it, is beyond belief.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Lines_man
Thanks for the response.
Since deregulation BT has become even more disfunctional, it was always the only communications company that couldn't communicate internally. I recall the line "Left hand? I didn't know we had a left hand" being used on many occasions.
You say that the exchange equipment is maintained by BT Operate.... I can't find a group business called BT Operate.
so I'm assuming it to be an abbreviation for 'BT Technology, Service & Operations', headed up by Clive Selley who oversees Openreach, Wholesale and Consumer amongst many other businesses.
I'm convinced that most of BT's customers see BT as an entity and therefore contact BT expecting it to be capable of resolving a BT problem. However the only customer access is via Retail i.e.150 or 151, where the staff speak a different language to most of us. Please do not for a minute thing I'm being racist, it's simply a fact that there is a language barrier and this reduces the effectiveness of understanding a problem and its resolution.
Regarding the current problem, BT have insisted that they carry out repeated line tests to establish that there isn't a line fault, before they can raise the fault with whichever department deals with exchange maintenance. The history of the disjointed faulting process is recorded in my original post.
The exchange engineer found no fault, it is intermittant, and the fault was closed. Now they say they can't reissue it without an engineer visit to my home, with the threat that if no fault is found I will be charged £130. Forum moderator Neil has arranged for an engineer to visit tomorrow and has stated that no charge will be raised no matter what the result of the visit, but BT can't resist reiterating the threat, as you will see in today's text message:
"Hello, BT here. We're sending you an engineer on Thursday 12/02/2015 between 1pm and 6pm. Our tests are showing an internal problem so please make sure you've checked your equipment by following the instructions here www.bt.com/faults or click on this link for a video http://www.bt.com/wiring You can also call 08000285705 or look near the front of your BT telephone book for instructions, the page is entitled Faults, Repairs and Reporting. If you have found the fault on your own equipment, reply to this text with the word CANCEL and we will cancel the engineer for you, we check messages between 8am-9pm daily. Remember if the problem isn't with BT equipment, there will be a charge of 129.99 GBP. Thanks"
So after numerous line tests, all having resulted in there being no fault, one has suddenly appeared on my equipment, today.
Not withstanding any of this, the problem, as stated, is one of dialling a number and the exchange equipment dropping back to dial tone. I have just dialled '150' 4 times resulting in two ring tones and 2 drop-back to dial tone. I have tried with different telephones and the problem can easily be replicated on friends and neighbour's telephones, therefore logically it cant be associated with my equipment.
I'm really trying very hard to help BT, to help its customers, but they are incapable of dealing with the problem.
Cheers Noel
