What is Inside Wire Maintenanc​e and is it really necessary

I'm getting Charged 9.99 a month for Inside Wire Maintenance.  I just want to be clear on what it really is. I've been reading that without this "insurance" Verizon would charge me a ridiculous amount of money to fix any problems if it were a problem with the wires inside my apartment, say or faulty jack or whatever....but if it's anything else say outisde, i heard that verizon don't charge for this.
BUT most of the time when the tech comes, it's never a problem with anything inside my house, it's always a problem with the small box that contains the copper wire connections (not the NID box but the other small box  which i don't know the name) outside the yard, in the backyard of the building.   If it's problem with the box in the backyard of the building, then technically it's not an inside wire problem correct? so Verizon should not charge me right? 
This means i don't really need inside wire maintenance correct?
IF so How do i go about REmoving this service?

Verizon charges if there is a problem inside ($90-$100) that isn't caused by their equipment. An example is if there's an issue and they have to replace your coax cable inside or change out a wall outlet. A charge would apply. If a problem is on their end such as they find out its the dvr/stb causing issues or the ONT a charge would not apply. In some cases if they show up and find no issues at all them a fee might apply.
Is it worth the $9.99 a month? IMO no. The chances of an issue going on with something not on their end is rare.
It would be cheaper to pay a one time fee to fix anything if ever needed then pay $9.99 a month which ends up costing more in the end.
If you want to remove it just call them 1-800 Verizon.
Also, considering their terms are always changing, you can also ask them about when a technician fee would apply.

    what are the advantages of compressor and it it even necessary?

    Necessary for some and not for others – probably a large majority – who can by with the presets avalaible in FCX.
    The users who need Compressor are those who want to control the parameters of the encodes to get the best possible trade-off between file size and quality. Or those who want to do things like standards conversions, complex frame speed changes, better re-scaling capabilities, de-interlacing, re-interlacing, output formats beyond which are available in FCX, chapter markers for DVD and Blu-Ray authoring, batch conversions for multiple purposes through droplets, access to clusters for faster rendering.

  • Inside wire maintenanc​e?

    I still have the inside wire maint. on my bill at $6.99 per month
    now that I have fios phone/internet/tv, is this still relevant?
    Im wondering if it covers all components of the service not just the phone.  If it covers all, it seems worth the cost.
    does anyone know.
    for the phone, I have rarely had to call for repair and called once for a new line. 

    Hello songbird69,
    The inside wire maintenance plan only covers the phone wires, not the coax run or cat 5.

  • Restore my iPod touch can make me lose everything I have and is it really necessary? // Restaurer mon IPod touch peut-il me faire perdre tout ce que j'ai et est-ce vraiment nécessaire??

    Hi everyone!
    I have problems with my 4th generation IPod Touch for a while.
    First, it was no longer recognized by Windows or by ITunes and yet il worked fine forabout 2 week.... it is beyond comprehension!!   Ican no longer use ITunes... not pratical!!   I'm actively looking for solutions.
    I finally solved the problem of recognition with Windows, with the help of Apple.  Now, I still have the problem of recognition with which ITunes still does not work.  When I open ITunes, a warning message telling me to restore my IPod.
    My fear is losing my music but also some conversations, my bookmarks, my pictures and  my apps and data entered in them.  I would lose nothing, find my IPod as it's now after the restoration.
    Is it possible to not lose its data during a restore??  If so, how??  Is ICloud does the work??  
    Is it really necessary to restore my IPod??  Do you think this would solve my problem really??
    Could you please help me???
    Thank you in advance for your answers!

    P.S.  Sorry for my English..... I'm French!!
    Bonjour à vous!
    J'ai des problèmes avec mon Ipod touch 4e génération depuis un bon moment.
    Tout d'abord, il n'était plus reconnu par Windows ni par ITunes et pourtant il a bien fonctionné durant environ 2 semaines... c'est à n'y rien comprendre!!   Je ne peux donc plus utiliser ITunes... pas pratique!!   Je suis donc en recherche active de solutions.
    J'ai finalement résolu le problème de reconnaissance avec Windows, avec l'aide Apple. Maintenant, il me reste le problème de reconnaissance avec ITunes, qui ne fonctionne toujours pas.  Lorsque j'ouvre ITunes, un message d'alerte me dit de restaurer mon IPod. Ma crainte est de perdre ma musique mais surtout certaines conversations, mes signets, mes photos ainsi que mes applications et les données entrées dans ces dernières.  J'aimerais ne rien perdre, retrouver mon IPod comme il est maintenant après la restauration.
    Y a-t'il une façon de ne pas perdre ses données lors d'une restauration??  Si oui comment??  Est-ce que ICloud fait le travail??  
    Est-ce vraiment nécessaire de restaurer mon IPod??  Croyez-vous que ça règlerait vraiment mon problème??  
    Pouvez-vous m'aidez svp???
    Merci d'avance pour vos réponses!

    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Connectez-vous via le câble à l'ordinateur que vous utilisez pour la synchronisation. A partir d'iTunes, sélectionnez l'iPad / iPod, puis sélectionnez l'onglet Résumé. Suivre les indications pour la restauration et assurez-vous de dire «oui» à la sauvegarde. Vous serez averti que toutes les données (applications, musique, films, etc) seront effacées, mais, comme les finitions de restauration, il vous sera demandé si vous souhaitez le contenu de la sauvegarde à copier à l'iPad / iPod. Encore une fois, dire «oui».

  • Verizon Internet Security Suite/ 3 and Fios Inside Wire Maintenance Plans

    I just noticed yesterday that I had been charged $6.99 a month for the "FIOS inside Maintenance Plan" and $5.95 a month for the Verizon Internet Security Suite/3 for the past 4 years. After calling customer service to inquire about these plans, I now understand that these plans are optional and automatically added to your bill unless you personally call and have Verizon remove them from your service.
    Wanted to share some thoughts and see if people out there feel the same way I do.
    I understand the Inside Maintenance Plan but I question the economical value to the customer, especially if it does not know it is paying for the plan.
    I do not understand the Internet Security Suite/3. Here I feel it is a total rip off. Nobody has been able to convey what the plan is all about and what value it adds to the customer.
    I feel that have been deceived and misled into paying for two plans I did not know I had because nobody presented the optional plans to me when I placed my order. Verizon provides these plans to you for free for 30 days, and if you don't call to cancel, the service continues automatically.
    Granted, if you carefully read your bill, as the Customer Service Representative so judiciously told me, you will notice that these plans are added to your bill as separate line items and up to you to question them. I personally think that these practices are unethical, benefit the company, and at the end, it is always the customer that loses. Whether these plans have merit or not, Verizon should be clear and transparent with its customers when they place their orders. The customers must be given all the information they need about these plans so they can make rational decisions on whether they will really benefit from these plans and be given the opportunity to decline these plans when they configure the order of their new service. Furthermore, I really see no value for Verizon to throw these plans in for free for one month as there is no measurable way for the customer to determine whether these plans provide any kind or value to them. Whether deliberate or not, what ends up happening is that hundreds of thousands of customers fail to follow up after one month to cancel the plans and they ended paying for them until they realize just like me that they had been paying for something they did not want at the first place. If Verizon offers the plans for free trial to its customers, the burden should be on Verizon to follow up with the customers to determine if they want to continue the plan or not. That seems to me like a fair compromise.

    Verizon Internet Security Suite is nothing more than money down the drain.  It's a throw away.  Get rid of it and use avast.com and malwarebytes.com, free virus programs that can do the job a lot better.  VISS kept saying for the longest time that my computer had no viruses until one day it slowed down to the point where I could no longer get onto the Internet, all because of viruses that VISS never detected!  What Verizon doesn't tell you is that it's the cheapest program on which Verizon can get the lowest bid and don't be fooled just because it's "powered" by McAfee.  I had to pay a computer expert from the phone book 165 bucks to learn this and at least now I am saving money.

  • Why I was billed for inside wire while the work was done outside on the street pole

    Did anyone have similar unpleasant experience with Verison yet?
    I had the service for about 3 months. My phone had static sound. I could not use it. I called Verison. They did the test and realised that the problem could not be resolved from their office so we agreed that a technician would come to determine source of the problem and fix it.
     I agreed that I would cover technician cost of $90 if the problem was caused by me.
    The technician came a day earlier. He did not need to enter my house at all. He fixed the problem and left the message that he fixed the issue at the pole on the street. The following month Verison sent me a bill  with $91 extra charge for technician's work as "inside wire".
     I did not agree with the charge. I called Verison three times. Once the service person dropped my call after talking to him about 10mins. The other two times I explained the issue and I was put on hold for a long time. On one hand, the customer service people seemed to be friendly but each time their explanation was that they have to obay what the technician wrote on the bill and that was that I should be charged for his work.
    I tried to talk to someone from Verison to explain the issue but when I ased for a manger,I was directed to sales manager who did not know much about customer issues!!
    I paid the bill which was due but I did not pay $91 extra that verison charges me for the technician's work. I received already 2 phone calls that my bill is overdue.
    I do not know whom to talk to from Verison or how to handle this situation?
    I am looking for help on what to do in this case.
    Is it planned that Verison charges his customers for technician's work that should be covered by the company.??
    Did they make a mistake?? but then why they do not admit to that?
    Why am I spending my valuable time on this issue???
    IF YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH SIMILAR SITUATIONS, PLEASE SHARE IT AND  ADVISE WHAT TO DO.

  • Inside Wire Maintenance = Cramming

    I specifically de-selected "Inside Wire Maintenance" when I subscribed to by Fios service, yet somehow it got added back on without my permission. When I tried to contact them through the website to remove it, I was informed that I would need to CALL to remove a service that I never ordered in the first place. This is the very definition of "cramming"... From the FCC:
    Cramming is the illegal act of placing unauthorized charges on your wireline, wireless, or bundled services telephone bill. The FCC has estimated that cramming has harmed tens of millions of American households.
    Deception is the hallmark of cramming. Crammers often rely on confusing telephone bills to trick consumers into paying for services they did not authorize or receive, or that cost more than the consumer was led to believe.
    This is one reason that I hate dealing with the phone companies. I have no need for inside wire maintenance, and the fact that they want to charge me $120 a year for a service I will never use is ridiculous. Consider that phone wiring can easily last fifty years. Replacing the wiring in an average home is about $400-$500 on the high end... 4 years of maintenance expense... meaning that if you are paying for the service continuously, they can make an extra $5500 over the life of the wiring for providing nothing. You'd be better off keeping that money for yourself and paying out of pocket IF you ever need the service... most people will never need it... which is what they count on. And this is the reason they like to sneak it into the bill and hope you don't notice.
    I want this service removed, as I did not order it in the first place. Why do I need to take time out of my work day to make a personal call to their office to remove it? Deception used to add an unauthorized charge to my line... Why does the FCC let Verizon continue to get away with it? Consumers need to stand up and demand that these charges be removed and refuse to keep paying them.

    Wire Maintenance can be added to a residential account. Just call Verizon and ask for it to be added to your bill. From there, confirm that it's on there with another call a day or two later, and then ask for a repair.

  • What is difference between User Exits and BAPI

    hello sap gurus
    what is difference between User Exits and BAPIs

    http://www.sap-img.com/abap/what-is-user-exits.htm
    www.****************
    Where as this customer exits are again divided into:
    1. Menu Exits.
    2. Field Exits.
    3. Screen Exits.
    4. Function module exits.
    These all the things comes under Enhancements.
    User exits
    1.A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP.
    XX represents the 2-digit exit number.UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number
    2.USER EXITS are FORMS and are called by SAP standard programs
    using PERFORM.
    3.Inside the form (user exit) you can read and change almost
    any global data from host program.
    4. User exits are more flexible because you have more information to use in your code but on the other hand , it is very easy to manipulate erroneously global data and lead the standard program to a dump or even to make database inconsistent.
    5.While changing User-exit,Access Key is required,
    BAPI is nothing function module but which is remote enabled, means you can access this fm through other SAP or non-SAP system by assingning to business object,which we can crea in SWO1 transaction.

  • What is the default user name and password for oracle databse 10g

    Hi: gurus, I just recently installed the oracle 10g personal edition and trying to log on to the enterprise manger, but can't figure it out the user name and password, can some one help me and tell me what is the default user name and password to logon to the oracle instance. BTW during the installation I choose two passowrds one for the schema and one for the global database orcl. I wonder will I be using one of these passwords. Still I don't have any clue for the "User Name".
    thanks

    system/manager and sys/change_on_install are still valid default passwords when database is manually created. If DBCA was used, passwords will be those defined at creation time inside DBCA.
    In case passwords have been forgotten, those can be reset:
    From an OS commnad prompt, set ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variables, just to make sure you are pointing to the right Oracle Home installation, and issue:
    OS> sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> alter user sys identified by yourNewSysPassword;

  • What's happening when Word opens and saves a document?

    Hello,
    I got very unspecific question, but I don't know where to start. I have an open xml document which gets generated by a third party tool. If I open the document using open xml sdk it looks VERY different from how it looks like when I opened and saved it before
    using Word 2013.
    I'm trying to get an understanding on whats Word doing! From what I've seen it's doing some remodelling on the xml file, since it looks very different (other and way more descendants than before) and I would like to achieve the same thing using open xml.
    Although this might be already to much information: The generated word documents contains html code with links to pictures. After Word has touched the file the picture is inside a drawing element, before it's not but in Word both versions look the same.
    I'm thankful for any help you can give me.

    This forum is discussing about Open XML developing. This is not exactly an OpenXML SDK questions. To be frank, I do not know exactly what Word opens and saves a documents either (this is the implementation details of the product).
    If you are interested on it, the forum below might be more appropriate for you:

    What do you mean by “other and way more descendants”? Do you mean that you want to add new nodes in the xml document? In my option, different objects in word have different nodes. You could refer the link below for more information about Word processing.

  • Can I access a label inside of an MC and then go back to the main time line

    Here is my current set up.
    I have a labeled section on main time line which has icons of 12 different videos. Each icon acts as a button and brings a user to a labeled section with a FLV Video Playback component impemented to play the corresponding video. These labeled sections are located on the main time.
    This methog makes my main time line very long. Is there a way to make an additional MC which will hold all the video buttons and then have this MC separated into labeled sections.
    In other words can I access a label inside of an MC and then go back to the main time line?
    My present code for accessing the label located on the main timeline is:
    HowTo_maininfo_mc.theArrangement_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown);
    function theArrangement_btn_amimated_btnDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndPlay("theArrangement");
    How would it look if my label "theArrangement" would be located inside of an MC?
    Is there any specific code if I want to have a close button located on the label inside of an MC and it needs to fire out to a label located on the main timeline?

    Oh, WOW! It is working perfectly now.
    My mistake was that I was specifiying the var sourceVar:String;
    for every single button. It was not clear to me from the first example that it has to be specified only once.
    I made a small test Flash file and everything works now. It still doesn't work on my big flash file, I guess some other code messes it up and I can' not figure what it is exactly.
    I would like to include the OUTPUT error message in hopes that you can spot right away what a mistake could be:
    VideoError: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server
              at fl.video::VideoPlayer/stop()
              at fl.video::FLVPlayback/stop()
              at acolyteVideos_fla::mainsite_mc_2/stopF2()[acolyteVideos_fla.mainsite_mc_2::frame484:21]
              at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
              at acolyteVideos_fla::mainsite_mc_2/onClick_GoBackToHowTo2()[acolyteVideos_fla.mainsite_mc_2 ::frame484:13]
    If there is no immediate cure for it, I will go through code line by line. Since it is working on the test it must be something wrong with my main file.
    Additiona question (please let me know if I should paste it as a new thread)
    I have similar set up with UILoader. Where different buttons set up to bring a user to individual labeled sections with individual UILoader. Should it be arranged in the same way that it is only one loader and "var sourceVar:String;" code is the one which brings up different content for each button?
