Verizon Fios

1. You will be tossed between the sales team and tech support team for NO reason. Every time I called Verizon customer service number 1 (800) 922-0204, it has been the same situation. You probably should block your calendar for the whole day to deal with an issue that no one will own or take time to understand. 2. A salesperson complained about the tech team and asked me exactly what can she do :)? And DISCONNECTED the call!! All my experiences with FIOS customer care/tech support shows that they are either not trained to deal with customers or are not skilled enough to troubleshoot issues.

I wanted so bad to have a good experience with Verizon FIOS. I switched from COX after 20 years. I actually had good service with COX but they kept raising the price. FIOS had a deal too good to pass up. They were so easy to get in touch with prior to the switch over. Once I switched and had a problem with one of the boxes I had to call customer support. Hours on the phone, no call backs as promised etc.. While on hold for over an hour I tried the online chat support which was slow as well. Eventually someone answered the phone, and gave me opposing information from what the Chat person said. I did schedule someone to come out between 12 -2:00. Of course they did not show. I dread calling back to reschedule because it becomes an all day thing. Get it together FIOS. For years you sent me offers, and had people knock on my door to get me to switch. It's much easier to keep a customer than get a new one.

Worst customer experience ever. Would not even give one star but had to since it was the only option. Placing a new order is a nightmare especially when you are talking to someone with a thick accent. When you get past that phase, you get to know that there is no Fios availability - despite the Verizon website confirmed availability for your address. Now calling a tech to install the fiber optic is another nightmare as the customer tech rep cannot do that because their end of the system does not let them do so. So cancelling and reordering is the only option.

I been with Verizon for over ten year, back in April during Pandemic I was on line, saw Comcast has promotion in which most of my are IT and they prefer Comcast internet because the speed more stable for streaming than Verizon and I compare the price and speed with Verizon. Their window pop up from Verizon customer service for chatting, he offer me will increase my speed for the same price plus sign up auto payment take $149 off for insulation, but will have Verizon tech to come in to just the wiring, since I been with Verizon over ten year waive $149.

I have been trying to get thru to Verizon for several days. Currently, I am on hold for 1 hour 42 minutes after getting a rep who had to switch me to a different department. Over the 12 years we have had Verizon, it has been one frustrating situation after another as our bill increases. The service is horrendous and the few times I have been able to get to a rep it's just exhausting as they read from their scripts trying to upsell. Most of the time I use the online app but I cannot due to my account or adjust the plan online. For the fees they charge, the service is nothing more than a scam.

On 08/10/2020 I was not able to reach someone at the Tech Support Dept. with long wait times more than 39 minutes on the line without success. Every time I called back and speak to a live customer service representative I was offered to have someone to call me back at a later time, when transferred to that option it was just getting disconnected.

I was transitioning to another carrier and didn't ask to be put in another contract and when I called to cancel I was advised that I was in a contract and had to pay $300.00 or my bill would go to collections. Spoke with the manager also and couldn't get a decent solution. I will never come back to Verizon Fios. They are too expensive and their customer service is not the best - they didn't even try to get me to stay with them. So long!!!!

I have used FIOS as a service for over 2 years now. We have enjoyed a good relationship until now. It is sad that FIOS chose to double bill me for a period during the Covid lockdowns and since then sent the claim to a collection agency without prior notice to me or even trying to reach out to me to sort out their issues. Clearly the company has leadership issues. I am looking for another service provider.

We have been Verizon Fios customers for a while. We upgraded our internet connection few months ago to gigabit (2 people working from home). We have experienced lot of issues and can't get a live person to speak with. I have called several times. Their automated online system only has few options to report. The chat option has very long wait times or the system kicks you out. I was waiting almost an hour on Friday to talk with support and online chat kicked me out. I decided to call right away 8am the next morning when they opened 95 minutes later I gave up. Least Five houses in our block has the same problem with Verizon Fios. The internet connection drops constantly and the speed is very low. Today I tried to watch a movie and got a message that the broadband speed is too slow and I need to watch the movie later. So, I am paying for a gigabit and technical support and I don't get either.

I cancelled my service with a balance of $200. Verizon said it was okay to make payments. When the balance was down to $50 and two days before I paid the last $50, unbeknownst to me at the time, they reported the $50 balance to the credit agencies. In my conversations with Verizon after the fact, one of their representatives actually left me a voice mail agreeing that this matter should not have “ever hit” my credit report since I was making payments as agreed. It was apparently done by an automated system. As he also stated in the saved voicemail message, the representative recommend to his supervisors that the negative information be removed from my credit report, noting among other things, my excellent payment history over the years I was a customer. His supervisors nonetheless REFUSED to follow their own employee’s recommendation or assist in any way.
