Why are we the only one in our area that Verizon keeps turning us off?

Before Christmas we were with out phone for about a week. Finally we were told some one at the main office "accidentally" turned our service off.
A couple weeks ago we were off and a "tech" found broken wires on the box on their pole.
Now a tech came out yesterday and said we are turned off again and we will have to wait for a cable crew.
No one else on our street has ever had problems, it is always "just us".
I am still waiting with no phone and internet coming and going, "suppose" to be fixed by 7pm today but we will see. We have been without phone a week again.
Why is Verizon just shutting us off? Bills always paid on time and never late. So far they have not charged for the down times and I will be keeping an eye for this week too. What is going on? I have never heard of any one getting there phone service shut off for a week twice in a year and told it was an accident and it happens, at least that is what the repairman told me last time.
This is getting old and very unprofessional.

When the repairman said last time we were accidentally switched off, what does that mean? I keep picturing Joe falling asleep at the desk and hitting the switch to our line. No repair today. Will some one wake Joe up and turn the switch back on?

  • After my computer has been asleep and I touch my trackpad, it wakes enough to show my icon but not enough to acknowledge my keyboard or trackpad so I can type a password.  It seems the only way to make it work it to turn it off the back button.

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.

    Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
    First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
    5gb Ram
    I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
    I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
    The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
    Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
    I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
    So... Where to go from here.
    I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
    Hope someone can help.

    Anyone??
    When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
    Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
    I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.

  • Why 1.3bios the only one that works???

    1st Question: When i install a new bios my system fails to completely boot to
    XP-PRO. It flashes me a blue screen of then and restarts.... whats up with that?
    Must try to reinstall XP op is this a genral issue that can be fixed?
    2nd Question: Do the new bios versions actually increase speed & stability or should i stick to trusty 1.3?
    P4 2.4 HT
    NEO2S
    256DDR400 X 2
    220 FSB(To unstable over 220)??????
    120 WD 8MB
    MSI FX5600 VTDR128
    300WATT PSU
    DVD/CDRW combo crap

    umm.. what brand ram are u using.
    and why are u at 220FSB.. when u do that doesn't the frequency of your ram go up too? maybe they can't handle it... unless of course u set them as lower frequency ram such as 333 or 266 or something.
    try booting up with PC2100 ram and then go into BIOS to raise voltage to 2.65 and then shut off, replace with PC3200 ram and then reboot.  
    I know that my Kingston HyperX PC3200's won't boot unless they have at least 2.65V

  • When I boot up my system and Firefox is not running, Firefox tells me I must update, but when it begins to do so, it tells me that the program is currently running and that I must turn it off before the update can proceed.

    Basically, I don't know any better way to turn it off than to try closing the program or rebooting the computer. Rebooting usually works, as in the following instance which happens occasionally: I close Firefox, move on to another task, and then try to open Firefox again and am told that Firefox is still running and that I must try to close it again or reboot. Trying to close it again is impossible because for all I can see, it is closed. So, I reboot and can then successfully start Firefox. That is a nuisance that I would like to remedy. I was hoping that the update of the program might resolve the problem, but I can't get the update to work, as explained above.

    Hello,
    I would like to strongly recommend that you update your version of Flash Player to our currently released version (17.0.0.169) and enable auto updates.  The version you are using is insecure and opening your computer (and all of your data) to being easily exploited by bad guys.
    As for the error you are receiving, this is most likely a restriction from the website.  Each developer is able to specify what the required minimum version of Flash and require their users to have at least that version installed.  The detection that is occuring and the message that you are seeing on the website isn't part of Flash Player, but instead part of the website's code.
    If you go to this page and click the "Check Now" button, what is displayed (OS, browser and version number)?  Do you see the "tree" animation playing below?

    Thanks,

    did you all change SIM? any time you change SIM with cash on tap....welcome to a world of pain! i have an s6 edge en route with a new sim and im not looking forward to it!  the s6 shop page states the phone is compatible with cash on tap and it probably is.  the problem is few people at EE understand how cash on tap works/how to fix it.  there is EE customer services, behind them 2nd line technical who deal with corporate stuff mainly - they will be able to contact the right people to fix it if you can somehow manage to get through to them. Ask to be put through to David Boyce in technical support or someone on the same team as him.  The only person I found who understood and was able to fix the issue! **apologies in advance for name dropping him** then there is cash on tap customer services that EE customer service will probably transfer you to - they can "refresh" your account - will probably do nothing but worth a try the company that can actually fix it are another 3rd party that run the provisioning of the SIM - i don't think there is a way to get in contact with them...it's ridiculous took me 2 weeks of daily phone calls to get it fixed last time. 

  • Am I the only one experiencing those problems?

    I always get frustrated when I get my macbook with the following errors.. or maybe glitches.
    1. Flash Player --> When online video, using Flash Player to play video, is paused, sometimes the video does not resume even if I click the resume button. Only workaround for this is to go to specific timeline or move the cursor to other part in the movie.
    2. iTunes Player --> No matter what Mac OS X version is, if i try to search the song with korean language, the iTunes Freezes immediately after clicking other area in the iTunes Player. Workaround for this is push the space button after finish writing or click the left or right array key.. otherwise, iTunes freeze.
    3. on "Mail", the Mac OSX default application, if i delete any email with delete key and press Ctrl + Q (Quit button) right after that, "Mail" application hangs until I force quit it.

    You are not the only one and it happend to others when still on iOS 6.
    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
    - Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Poor GPS reception in IPhone 3GS, am I the only one having this problem ?

    Since I have many problems with GPS drop outs and poor signal strength errors when using navigation software for Iphone 3GS firmware 4.0.2.
    First I reset my Iphone completely and installed all apps from scratch, but this has not solved my problem.
    I now tried several tests to compare with both an Android phone HTC Desire and a very old Symbian phone Nokia E65. Neither the Nokia E65 or HTC Desire have any drop outs in the GPS reception while my Iphone has several dropouts, making navigation horrible.
    Am I the only one having this problem ?

    Unfortunately, you are not the only one (I personally use TomTom with car kit). This is one of the numerous bugs introduced by iOS4 and this one has been reported by many in this forum. Be careful not to use your iPhone based navigation system in a foreign country, due to high roaming costs ! I had to use it and nearly had an heart attack when reading the invoice.
    Apple doesn't care. Unfortunately, I have to care for my budget.

  • Ovi Maps Updates for E72 - Am I the only one who h...

    I received a "new updates available" message when I opened my Ovi Maps application this morning.
    Like a fool I did the update and now every time I open Ovi Maps the app crashes and reboots the phone.
    Am I the only one?
    I thought that this time it would be OK.
    It crashed last time I got an SMS Ovi Update notification.
    Luckily I backed up yesterday.

    I use the TomTom app. Unlike Google maps which you connect to online, TomTom updates their maps on a specified period. There is an advantage though, if you are driving in an area with no cell coverage you still have maps and GPS. The more up-to-date Google maps won't do you any good in that case. And with the current system you still don't have turn-by-turn.
    My understanding is with the new Maps app TomToms map database will be online so it will be updated on-the-fly the same as Google. Downside: won't be available without a data connection.
    Again, if you prefer Google look at one of the many Android phones. Or try the new Maps system on iOS 6. Apple's only other option was to have no Maps app at all.

    My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose  texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

    Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)?  Could be an issue at their end.

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

  • HD slideshow is the only one that works for me.. WHY??

    I have a new mac pro with lots of hd and ram 5GB.. so I don't think its my system.
    What I need to know is that I can make an acceptable slideshow if
    1) I lower the resolution of my photos from 3884x2600 to about 1024x1024
    2) I create a imovie 720hd or 1080i HD.
    ANY other format creates a lousy final picture quality when viewed on the TV. I get a shimmering, but not so noticible jaggies as some have posted. If I keep the photo still and not use KB.. the still images are ok, but not fantastic. The KB kills them. This seems opposite of what I have read of the bug in imovie6.
    Can anyone explain why if I use the HD formats for Imovie the photos turn out ok?
    I would like to keep them in a 4x3 format but can't if I use the HD formats. Is there a way to make it 4x3 after?
    Anyway.. I have done a lot of testing and this is the best I can get so far.

    Anyone??
    When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
