Stayed home all day, waited into the night, no internet, no commitment to keep me

On several occassions now the FiOS team has failed to send a person when they said they could when I'm without internet and it is my only means of entertainment.
Today I was on the phone for an outage at 9am.  I stayed on hold for over an hour and 15 minutes.
I was told my issue was escalated and it should be resolved in 24-48 hours.  Naturally I didn't rest there.
I kept calling throughout the day, but the system would send me to billing (I figure that out 4-5 hours later) and if I disconnected some of the techs would not call me back.
After holding once for 20 minutes a gentleman just said something about the phones being down and to call back and he just hung up.
For the most part the people on the phone really did try to help, but no one had an explanation why my order {edited for privacy}wasn't processed.  
No one has any idea why I wasn't contacted.
So now FiOS is asking me to wait on them until next week and I'm sorry.  I SO LOVE FIOS!!! but if I can't depend on you I don't want you.
If someone is not here tomorrow I've decided I'm moving on to an inferior product Clear 4G, but at least I can have a part overnighted and I won't have to rely on a technician who would not phone me or call and make me wait an entire weekend.
I will not be able to watch any movies, shows on Hulu, or any sports this weekend because of this.
I lost money and didn't get paid today waiting for no one to show.
The delays of waiting on hold and being told one thing after another by those poor folks who were helpless to help me meant that several phone calls took hours and hours and by the time I found out what I was supposed to do everything was closed.
I'm so disappointed in you Verizon FiOS.  This will most likely be goodbye if no one is here tomorrow.

Thanks Verizon for listening to your customers!
I didn't ever get nasty with the people on the phone during my 20+ hours of calling tech support, billing, and account management.
The tech just left and I have the best high speed internet on the planet again.  #closecall
The issue was resolved when the tech discovered.  When I was upgraded to FiOSTV that the remote changes switched ports in my multi-dwelling unit communication box.  The technician found the error and worked with the phone crew back at home base to resolve this in about 2 hours.
Thanks Anthony for your private message sending me to the place where I could raise the issue.
I was lucky enough to find a phone tech person (Jane) who listened to everything I had gone through, read through all the logs from over the hours of being on the phone with different techs (and yes .. I still had to go through the question of "did you unplug this or that") and she kept me from freaking out.
When she had enough information she contacted dispatch and after discovering they missed an appointment yesterday they scheduled someone for today.  (long story short)
On top of that I had a Verizon help person in Georgia contact me and also confirmed I was scheduled for today.
I'm going to make Clear 4G the bridesmaid now and ask them to cancel my order.
Thanks Verizon!  #FIOSFTW

  • With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

    With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?
    With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

    Exactly the same question I was about to post!
    Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!! 
    Come on Apple!!
    Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???

    Yes. Charging automatically stops when your battery is full, & you can't overcharge.

  • An all day reminder on the lock screen...

  • In ICal is there a way to see all of the text in all day events on the month view of the calendar.  Seems to wrap text only if there is a time on the event

    The paths won't agree on the two OSs so a simple XML import isn't likely to work.
    See Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers and, if needed, Make a split library portable. The techniques in the first link will work when moving the library between Windows and OS X as long as the library is "portable", but iTunes takes quite some time checking the database when the library is opened under a different OS.

  • How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling?

    How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling?  I need to see all of my all day events at once.  I use this for scheduling and comparing of # invoices.  Going back and forth to scroll is cumbersome.  I just want to be able to expand the top section so I can see everything at once.

    Any ideas, anyone?

  • Need a way to find out users who have not all logged in into the portal

    Hi all,
    Please can some body tell me the way to find out all the users who have not at all logged in into the SAP enterprise portal after their user ID's are created.
    Are there any methods(UME APIs) or attributes that set the status of user whether he/she has logged in into the portal first time.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Hajira Rehman

    There used to be a way, but here's what Detlev posted earlier this year:
    <b>Hi everyone,
    UPDATE on this: From SP16 on, the last successful login date does not get logged into the database anymore, see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/bc6b9202454dece10000000a422035/frameset.htm">here</a> - for performance reasons, as it is stated...
    Hope it helps not to fall into this new trap
    Detlev</b>
    So, there are no simple APIs - you'll need to build your own mechanism.

    If you mean transfer a slideshow from your computer then no. It is not storing it but rtaher streaming from the computer over your local network. The old model had an accessible hard-drive that would have allowed this.

  • A multi-day/all-day event in the iCloud calendar does not show up in iCal if the "all-day" box is checked

    When I establish a multi-day event on iCloud but do not check the "all-day" box it shows up just fine in iCal as an event that exists on each day along side the other events that occupy those dates.  However, when I check the "all-day" box when editing the event (in either calendar) the event completely disappears from the iCal calendar (it shows up across the top of the iCloud calendar in the "all-day eventt" line.  On my iPhone, there is no change in appearance (the event shows up on each day).
    Anybody have a clue what causes this?  Maybe just a "feature" of iCal beta?

    This is exactly what's happening to me. I've been able to recreate this on a Touch also with OS4. It's not occuring on OS3. I've only been able to recreate the problem on July 30th and August 1st calendar dates for some reason. It may be happening on other dates also but I havn't been able to find any.
    To recreate the problem go into day view on the calendar. Go to August 1st and create a calendar entry. Then touch the left arrow to go back a day then touch the right arrow to return to august 1st and your entry is invisible. It's still there because if you go forward a day then go back a day it shows.
    I've been using list view only now to avoid missing these invisible entries.

  • Ordering Repeating All-Day Events on the calendar

    Is it possible to order a list of all-day events that are repeating on multiple days of a calendar?

    If you have iCloud calendars set up on your iPhone, you should have several iCloud calendars.  I have Calendar, Work, Home.  When you create an all day even put it in one of the calendars.  For instance, i would put it in the Calendar calendar.  You can select the calendar when entering the event by tapping Calendar label.  You can then hide the all day events by tapping the Calendars button located top left on screen (portrait mode), then tap the name of the calendar you used to uncheck.  When click done, your all day events will be hidden.  Note you will have to rehide the calendar after adding a new all day event.

  • I recently purchased an ipad and downloaded apps.  They now all say "waiting" under the app icon but I'm connected.  How do I fix this?

    Anyone have an answer for this?

    I faced this problem sometime ago.
    If you let it download thru' the night, it should be completed by morning.
    This "Waiting" problem will disappear after a few days.
    I cannot explain why it happen.

  • How do you change the time on the all day setting in the iCal on an iPhone?

    I updated to ios 7 and when I want to put an all day event in. When I set it for an alert, it will only allow it to go off at 9:00 am. How do I change the time of 9:00?

    rlh264 wrote:
    When I set [an all day event] for an alert, it will only allow it to go off at 9:00 am.
    That is not exactly true.  The default time for the alert is set to the day of the event at 9:00 AM.
    So, there are two points to be made:
    1.  You can change the default time of the alert for an all day event at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Default Alert Times > All Day Events.  But those choices are limited, and all occur at 9AM (on some day).
    2.  You can make the event almost (but not quite) an all day event (for example, a 23 hour long event), and then you could edit the event to have much more flexibility about exactly when the alert occurs.

  • Everytime i open itunes, it has to reload all my songs into the library.

    Everytime i try and open itunes, it asks me to agree to the licence agreement, then re-loads all my songs back into the library.
    I have uninstalled and downloaded itunes but it still does it.
    How do i fix this, is there a way of locking the songs into the library?

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
