Why won't Verizon try or even acknowledge our plea to get DSL??

 Myself and others in my community have been fighting with Verizon for years now trying to get DSL. If you drive 3 miles down the road people have DSL. We have satellite and I can't even express to you how slow and expensive it is. Try watching a movie on netflix and it not play. Try playing a game on facebook and it not even load. Look at pictures on the internet and it won't even load a whole picture. It's pretty much the speed of dial up with a 15gb allowance a month that you pay 90.00 for each month to be disappointed over and over. Everyone on here is complaining they want these upgrades and whatever else and all we want is to have a decent internet. None of us would care if we had to pay more than what other people had to because we want it so badly. We have called other internet providers in the area and nobody can do anything because this is Verizon territory. It is Verizon territory and Verizon refuses to acknowledge or even try to extend it out here. I'm willing to do whatever it takes for Verizon to come out here and get us service. If they are going to own the area then it's their duty to provide us with the service we deserve. It's 2014. You have companies trying to get wifi on airplanes. Why can't we get it 3 miles away???? I will not give up on this. I will continue to contact Verizon every single day until they do something. I will do a petition if I have to. I will do whatever it takes. If I have to get everyone in my community to do the same I will. This has to end and Verizon needs to step up!!!!

If you were in Verizon's shoes, what would do you think it would take to decide install a new service in a given area?  Remember, they have shareholders to answer to when making such decisions.
If you can answer this question in a way that makes financial and regulatory sense to Verizon, you may be able to get what you want.
Good Luck.

  • Why won't verizon sell me an international data plan for my new iPad?

    Why won't verizon sell me an international data plan for my new iPad?

    Thanks for your response Meg. Verizon is definitely not customer friendly.  I do have the monthly prepaid domestic data service that I subscribed to from my iPad when I bought it a few months ago.  They didn't advise me of any other available plans at the time.  You are correct that they are now saying that in order to get an international plan I need to cancel my current monthly plan through one Verizon department (and abandon any remaining data mb) and then subscribe to a contract plan (handled by a different verizon department).  But here's the catch: in order to get international service I need to be a contract customer for six months (which doesn't help me as I am going to Europe next week).  Of course, if I had bought an ATT iPad I wouldn't be shut out like this since their monthly international plans are readily available through the iPad at any time.  I feel that Apple and Verizon should not have touted the new Verizon iPad as comparable to ATT's internationally (which they did) without fully disclosing the hoops one has to jump through.

  • Why won't verizon  stores honor upgrade transfers?

    I ordered an iphone 5S using a transfer upgrade from one of the lines on my account online. I chose to pick the phone up at a local Verizon store. I received confirmation texts and emails. Arrived at the store for the usual wait and run around...30 mins. The salesperson pulls up our account and tells us they won't honor transfer upgrades. Cindy said I had to just go back and change the delivery instructions. NOTE: We did one two weeks earlier at the same store having initiated the order online. My son picked his up with NO problems. I drive back home get back online only to see the image of the phone grayed out with the message "waiting to activate.." Digging further the order is not even in my history. I then initiated CHAT with Tierra with more time wasted and no results. I gave her the online order # and she couldn't figure out why it was no longer there. Thanks, Cindy! Tierra said I now needed to call customer service. First guy was no help. He forwarded me to Shelby (removed) who finally got somewhere. She reordered my phone, tried to talk to someone at the Verizon store and stuck with me until she could help me. If I had a better choice for coverage in the area where I live I would switch in a heartbeat.
    Where is it stated that physical stores won't honor transfer upgrades? Verizon stores really are a horrible experience. I will continue to write reviews and spread the word. I know that Verizon won't really ever help me.

    Ann if it's not available to everyone why is the new $20 price CLEARLY listed in their FAQ? It seems Verizon needs to train it's employees better.

  • Why won't Verizon Messages app work on phone with Wi-Fi only?

    I've successfully downloaded and installed the app from Google Play on a phone of mine that I only use wi-fi on.  There is no cellular service to this particular device.  It's set to airplane mode, with wi-fi on, essentially making it a 4.5 inch tablet, or like an android equivalent to an iPod touch.  When I start the app though, it displays the screen shown in the included screenshot, and won't let me connect to the service, despite the fact that a wi-fi connection is present.  I've seen that this is an issue that some others have had.  I have Verizon service with my main phone, I'm not sure why the app that supposedly lets you access your texts via wifi will only do that on tablets or phones with cell service.  Is there any way to get this working? Will there be any updates to allow the functionality that I'm looking for?  I've read that it was present at one time, so why the change?

    According to the Verizon website you are wrong.
    Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
    It states "
    Use Wi-Fi to send and receive messages on your smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac and web browser"
    I find personally that you are correct, is the website designed to mislead us? it is the same on the play store for google.
    The difference is not just in one place, it is everywhere it is advertised. So it was meant to work but to charge customers the function was removed is my understanding.

  • Why won't my iPod Touch even detect being plugged in?

    I have a 32gb 2nd generation iPod touch and everything was fine with it up until two weeks ago.
    Everytime I put it on any charging dock or plug it into its original charger cable(with a Samsung usb wall charger base), it either says "Charging is not supported with this accessory" or it won't even detect the charger!! And very occasionally will it charge, but then it'll only charge for a second or two before saying charging isn't supported. And sometimes it will charge for a longer time, but then in the middle of the night, it'll be "unsupported" again and then die! I don't know what's wrong and if I seriously have to go get it checked out and fixed, I'll have spent more money on repairs than on the device itself- POINTLESS! :/

    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Have you tried another cable?
    Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

  • Why won't Youtube, Bandcamp, and even Firefox's own Feedback link, recognise that I am in fact using the latest version of Firefox?

    I automatically update my Firefox, but certain websites resolutely claim I'm using an 'outdated browser', notably Youtube, Myspace, Bandcamp, and even (I've just discovered) Firefox's own Feedback link. Are they making an assumption based on the fact that I still use Windows XP, or is there something - a setting, maybe - that I can adjust? From the Troubleshooting Info I've pasted below, it looks like the 'User Agent' line is the problem; but what do I do about it?

    Try resetting your user agent string.
    Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter. Accept the warning message that appears, this will take you to a list of preferences.
    In the search box at the top type '''general.useragent'''
    Right-click on each entry that appears and select '''Reset''', this will set the value back to the default value. If it is already set to the default the reset option will be greyed out.
    Restart Firefox and it should correctly identify your version of Firefox.

  • Why won't Verizon iPhone send iMessage when on call and Wifi?

    I am new to Verizon and am aware of the simultaneous voice and data limitation, however I was under the impression that wifi would work normally while on a phone call, and it does.
    However I am finding that when on a phone call, and successfully on wifi, iMessages do not get sent. They fail.
    Anyone else get this? Can you please test it?
    I have a iphoen 5 on 6.0.1 already BTW but have no idea if it happened before with 6.0.
    Brian

    He is correct. All data is in one giant pool once you are on Wifi. The prioritization is first come first serve, unless the phone is implementing some sort of QoS at the packet level, which is very unlikely. This is the same way a full computer works, everyone sends their data broken up into small packets (Each packet is ~1k in size at maximum.)  All of those packets just go into a queue in the order they were sent, and the modem handles sending them out.
    The question is if iMessage is really going over the standard data routing, or if they are still using some sort of SMS wrapper. If its just data, it shoud send/recieve without issue regardless of what other data applications are running.

  • HT204053 I created a new user account on the family computer. I tried to sync my purchased music from the cloud but itunes said this computer already had a computer synced to it. Why won't it let me even though its a different user account?

    I just want to know how to sync my music from my apple id onto my new account on the family computer. Currently itunes warns that the computer is already linked to an account and if i proceed then no music can by auto downloaded or downloaded for 90 days. My issue is that it is a different account then the main account so i do not understand why..

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Why won't Verizon respond to questions about Pix Flix?  It has been weeks since they paid any attention to us basic people.  Guess they want us to go away so they can have more time to play with their "smart phones."

    Several people have managed to get to the "community" to ask about Pix Flix. It has been weeks since Verizon responded to anyone.
    The suggestion posted to the first inquiry under "Pix Flix" has not worked for several other folks.
    This is not customer service.  The website offers limited opportunities for contact and it is, of course, out of my way to go to the most local Verizon office.
    Steve M

    So the message about having pictures was not because my friend was trying to send me something?  “You’ve got a PIX or FLIX message!  To see it, visit www. “ telling me to go to an accessible computer wasn’t about me?  We the many complainers are getting these messages which don’t look like general messages.  At any rate, the instructions don’t work and HELP doesn’t provide me a result.

  • Why won't Verizon email transcripts of live chat sessions?

    Could it be to make promises and not keep them?
    BINGO.
    You just lost another loyal customer.

    I'm pretty sure that there's a small icon of an Envelope toward the top of the chat window that you can click to have a transcript sent to you.

  • Why won't my generated webhelp publish to our server?

    This question has several parts, but first things first:  I am used to
    generating webhelp and handing it off to a developer. In my current role, I am responsible for posting/publishing the help to
    an intranet site where it is used as a knowlege base. My predecessor and another person here can do this, but whenever I publish, nothing shows on the site. Another person who can publish and have it show up and I sat down to try to figure out what's going on, and we can't find any discrepancies or reasons for my problem. I feel like there's one little file or something that is causing the issue, but I don't know what it is. I did manually move a few new topic files out of the webhelp folder and into the shared drive area the knowledge base pulls from, but none of my formatting or images show up. Any ideas?

    Have you had IT check permissions?

  • Time Capsule - bought in San Diego USA. MacBook Pro bought in Jakarta, Indonesia. Why won't my Time Capsule set up? All I get is the flashing amber light.

    I bought a Time Capsule in San Diego, California. I bought my MacBook Pro in Jakarta, indonesia where I live. I have Wi Fi in the house which I use for mail etc with my Mac. However, my Time Capsule will not set up, all I get is the amber flashing light. Could it be anything related with a production bought in the USA that may not be compatible (wireless frequency?) with a product bought in SE Asia?

    Did you perform a "hard reset" on the Time Capsule before you tried to set it up?  That would be a requirement any time that you change locations or networks on the Time Capsule.
    Power up the Time Capsule for a few minutes, then hold in the reset button firmly for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.  It is now reset and can be set up to connect to your "new" network.
    Assuming that you have the right wall plug adapter, the Time Capsule will run on 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hz, so it will operate just about anywhere in the world from a power standpoint.
    There are some differences in allowed wireless channels between the U.S. and S.E. Asia, so use channels......36, 40, 44, or 48 on the 5 GHz band in case the higher channels are not allowed where you are.
