Outage on Monday, can't come out until Thursday - rage mode

This is totally unacceptable. There was a fire under a bridge which caused a large outage. All my neighbors are back, and I'm not. I call last night, and told someone needs to come out, but can't until Thursday. I pay for a service, and allows me to work from home a few days a week, plus kids, etc... How is this acceptable? 
I refer people to Verizon, not anymore. Contract is up in December and the just lost a 5 year customer.

I too lost all my services yesterday (8/27)in the Tewksbury Area. They told me its my internal panel tat runs all my services...I too was told thur for service!! Spent close to 2 hrs on my cell phone no less...trying to get this resolved. I was told it was caused by an outage in my area and it would be up by late in the evening or Tues am. I called back to confirm about the outage and spoke to 2 different people and found out I was not in the outage area...so who do you believe??? I have someon comin today at my convenience to replace the panel!!! I am toatlly disgusted with Verizon and only been a customer for 6 wks!!! It has been problems from day 1 with the start of the install. I am now past me 30day trial and am looking into getting my termination fee waived.....

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Technician never showed up, never called & now can't come out for 3 more days???

    Yesterday afternoon I lost my TV, phone and internet service (X1 Platform). There were no outages in the area so customer service was called. After spending 45 minutes on the phone going through all the troubleshooting, the rep said a tech would have to come out. She said they could come out the next day, gave us our choice of times and we picked 8:30am-12:30pm. She said the tech would call 30 minutes before he showed up. Today the tech never calls, never shows and my husband stayed home all morning for this. He called customer service and they told him we didn't have an appointment scheduled. I called and was told the same thing and then the rep said in order to make another appointment we would have to do the troubleshooting again. I told her there was no way that was happening. She said she could see that troubleshooting had already been done, but for some reason the last rep never made an appointment for the tech to come out. I asked her if that made any sense at all, that they would just leave the issue unresolved like that. Magically, she suddenly found where the last rep had requested that a truck come out, but she still couldn't find the date and time. Then she tried to find the tech, but she couldn't - apparently he disappeared into a black hole. The rep then tells me I have to set up a new appointment (which she can now suddenly do without troubleshooting) and the earliest available is Sunday from 5-7.  Are you kidding me??? Because either customer service at Comcast or the tech screwed up, my time without service went from 1 day to 4 days??? She said she would make the appointment and then transfer me to a supervisor because only a supervisor is able to change the appointment date. At this point, I've been on the phone for 45 minutes and then I spent an additional 15 minutes waiting for a supervisor. The rep did come back every few minutes and tell me that the line was still busy and she hadn't forgotten about me...until the point where she disconnected me. I know very well that she had my phone number to call back because it's on my account.  Did she? No. So, I called back again. Explained the entire situation to a different rep. She said that a supervisor can't change the appointment time - only a dispatcher can. She took my husband's number and said that a dispatcher would call if a time becomes available for a tech to come out. If none becomes available, we're out of luck until Sunday night. I asked to talk to a supervisor. She had the nerve to ask why. She transferred me to someone who, of course, didn't answer the phone and I got to leave a voice message. That person (whoever it was) hasn't called me back. I don't think it's too much to ask that, when the mistake is Comcast's, you do whatever you can to make it right. It's not as if the tech showed up and nobody was home. My husband sat there for 4 hours waiting. We have also spent a good portion of our day on the phone trying to get someone to come out today or tomorrow at the latest. If I switched to a different company, they would be able to come out before Sunday to install new service, but you can't be bothered to make things right for an existing customer when you screw up.

    Fun update (no, not really). Called back numerous times since my last post with no luck. I'm pretty sure I've talked to every department conceivable at least once to try to get someone at Comcast to live up to the term "customer service" and get someone out to my house ASAP since they were a no-show today. One of the more entertaining conversations was with a supposed supervisor who informed me that she looked at my account and could see where I talked to a rep yesterday about my phone service being out and they had me check for a dial tone. I told her that absolutely never happened - we only tried troubleshooting the error code on the TV. This model employee proceeded to argue with me and kept repeating that we had checked for a dial tone. She refused to stop talking when I tried to correct her and proceeded to talk non-stop for a full minute before I pretty much screamed into the phone that, while we have the phone service, we don't use it, and we don't even have a phone hooked up in the house, so how in the world could we possibly have checked for a dial tone??? If someone isn't out tomorrow to fix this, I'm switching to U-verse. Nobody should be have to deal with customer service that doesn't care about the customer and can't admit to or fix their mistakes. 

  • Sound effects can't come out from SoundSticks after upgrade to 10.4.4

    After upgrading to 10.4.4, the sound effects of OS X, such as emptying trash, iChat effects, etc, doesn't come out from the SoundSticks (first generation, connected via USB), even though I've turned it (effects) to the highest level, and selected to have it come out of the SoundSticks.
    The effects are fine if I select Built-in Audio as sound output.

  • My iMac goes into sleep mode, won't come out until I unplug and replug the computer then hit the power button. Just hitting the power button alone won't restart the iMac.

    My Imac goes into sleep mode but won't come out.  The keyboard/mouse won't rouse it and the power button won't do it either.  I have to unplug the computer, re-plug it in and then hit the power button.  Help?

    I looked around the internet and found an old post that seems to have solved the problem.  I had a relatively new USB port (powered) that I unplugged and, ta da, the problem disappeared.  I'm not sure why this happens (I'm not a tech person) but it seems like this should have been worked out in testing somewhere.

  • ITunes playback becomes choppy after machine comes out of stand by mode

    Hi All-
    I've recently started having an issue with iTunes where the playback of files on my hard drive (as well as a cd in the cd drive)becomes choppy and garbled after my machine has come out of stand by or hibernation mode. The only way to resolve the issue is to reboot the machine at which point things are fine until the machine goes back into standby mode and the problem reoccurs. Other audio program play back without an issue. I have reinstalled the latest iTunes software (ver 6.0.4.2), as well as updated the iPod software on my device, and the results are the same. The cd driver is ver 2.0.4.3 and the cd driver dll is version 2.0.3.2. Client OS is XP pro ver. 2002 with SP1. The machine has a gig of memory on it.
    Given that it takes about 5-7 minutes to reboot my machine and the frequency that I put the machine into standby mode this has become quite a bummer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • In a Roaming Network, Does the Primary Base Station have to be the only hub, or can spokes come out of an Extended Base Station?

    I live in the basement of an old, brick building, in one of 5 apartments, for the building's staff. I have an older Airport Extreme and Express setup that's working for me in my unit, connect to a Comcast Ubee cable modem. The rest of the basement shares a DSL connection through a wired network that includes three routers. I've been asked to build a network that the rest of the staff can share, using my cable connection and any new hardware required. Since ethernet cable is already in place for the legacy DSL network, I'd like to re-use it with new base stations and Airport Expresses, just swapping out the old gear. But the Roaming Network setup instructions show all spokes coming out of the Primary Base Station. This does not match my situation, where my cable modem is in a different apartment from the hub of the old network.
    My thought was to get two new Airport Extremes and wire one to my modem, replacing my old AE, and then place the other in my neighbor's apartment, connected by a new ethernet cable. His Extended Base Station would be where all the legacy ethernet cables terminate. I would plug them into the new, Extended Base Station on his end, and put Airport Expresses on the other ends, so each apartment (and the staff room) would have its own wired router.
    Will this configuration work? If not, can anyone suggest a better way? I'm an Apple products user but some of the other guys use Windows. My understanding is that this shouldn't be a problem.

    What I mean is that ethernet can be wired through switches.. (or bridged routers which are switches).
    So you have
    Router----Switch--Client
    .      .      .   |
    .      .      .Switch--Client
    .      .      .  |
    .      .      . Switch--Client
    The correct way to do this is
    Router----Client
    .      |
    .    Client
    .      |
    .     Client
    etc.. all clients are ethernet connected back to the router.. no switches. That means loads of ethernet.. one for every client run all the way back to a central area.
    What you are proposing is to run switches (bridged routers).. so you are using each ethernet link to connect more than one computer. This is wrong from a purists point of view.
    Sorry for the ASCII art work.. but I hope it makes sense.
    You do not need fancy gear to make this all work.. what you do need is a main controlling router.
    You cannot have two routers.. so you cannot put a switch between the cable modem and use two router. You have cable modem---ROUTER.
    That single router must therefore do all the work... part of that work is to provide some way to control usage.. so everyone gets a fair share.. and keep an eye on quotas.. sadly you cannot do both with any cheap routers I know of.. what I propose you do is WNDR3800 flashed to gargoyle firmware.. this is key.. this firmware will be able to track usage and allow each user a fixed amount of your bandwidth.. upload in particular.. as even with high speed on your download you still do not have upload of the same capacity.
    As far as end users are concerned they do not need fancy equipment.. they just need a wireless router. So they can get connection by ethernet or wireless.
    Talk to me directly if you need more help..email is here.

  • How can I come out of icloud drive and revert to icloud.co?

    How can I revert to previous configuration after mistakenly signing up to icloud drive? I have Mountain Lion and do not wish to sign up to Yosemite.

    You cannot revert to "Documents in the Cloud", you can just stop using iCloud Drive, once your iCloud account has been upgraded to iCloud Drive. There is no way back.
    From:   iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
    After I upgrade to iCloud Drive, can I downgrade and go back to using Documents in the Cloud?
    No, after you upgrade to iCloud Drive, you can't go back to using Documents in the Cloud. You can turn off iCloud Drive in iOS 8 by going to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive. You can turn off iCloud Drive on your Mac by going to Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud and deselecting iCloud Drive. If you turn off iCloud Drive, your documents and data will no longer be kept up to date across all of your devices.

  • How do I get my chart to redraw after the onitor comes out of screen saver mode.

    My program runs 24/7 monitoring an exhaust stream. The program usually nruns in the background. When the chart display is called up the display is not correct. this also happens when the screen saver has been on. How can I get the display to redraw the chart to diaplay correctly.

    > the display is not correct. this also happens when the screen saver

    > correctly.
    This usually happens when the popup panel is not in memory and doesn't
    know that it will ever need to be used. At compile time, LV optimizes
    your code to leave out display calls and to leave out front panel data
    copies if it thinks they will never be seen.
    In the days before property nodes and invoke nodes, LV always got this
    guess right, but these days it is possible to fool it. If you have a
    subVI with no property nodes, and it doesn't use the VI Properties
    to
    Open panel on call, LV may optimize out the chart's buffer accumulation.
    Then when the window opens, the buffer data is empty or old.
    If you place a property node on the diagram for the popup panel, even
    just to read the value of the panel visible property, LV will leave the
    accumulation code in and the chart should have correct values when the
    panel opens.

  • Can't 'reboot' out of single-user mode.

    Went into single-user mode earlier to run fsck. After everything had finished, and a couple of minor things repaired, typed in 'reboot' and... nothing happened. There didn't seem to be a prompt anymore to accept an input. I eventually just used the master switch. This was the first time I'd tried this since updating to Tiger. Is this a Tiger thing?

    reboot is not what you type at single user mode. That is not a Unix command. In single user mode you type:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    followed by
    exit
    or
    logout
    to leave it. You may be confusing it with open firmware, which you type:
    mac-boot
    to exit.
