Post by: AndrewD on November 17, 2011, 06:22:26 PM: Or not. Though they still suck in some regards.

Post by: Kikea on November 17, 2011, 07:27:34 PM: There was just some confusion, common in really big companies. I'm still a huge FiOS fangirl.

Post by: Nike 'Slays the Patriarchy' Strilakos on November 17, 2011, 09:29:55 PM: I have found them to have good product but atrocious enough customer service that I am never using them
Title: Re: Well, fuck
Post by: Kikea on November 17, 2011, 09:36:27 PM: It's Comcast that I've heard the nightmare customer service stories about. I've been very pleased in my dealings with Verizon's customer service department, so far. *crosses fingers*

Post by: Arianna_Fireau on November 18, 2011, 12:41:04 AM: Verizon screwed us up the wall and back, atrocious costumer service, horrible management and book keeping.

They told us they would have our internet on by November 18th.

We moved in Septermber 1st.

Which they then pushed back to mid-December, which they then pushed back again to sometime in 2012. At which point we said "screw you guys" and went with Comcast.
