Verizon won't give it's employees so much as a screwdriver to work with. Good luck with getting them to improve phone service. The work can't be done without the tools required
Good luck with Verizon!! they are very poor and dont give a dam about there workers or there customers. I had many many problems finally 0told them I was ending my service thier reply was sir for every one we loose we gain 3 amazing. They are to big and a very big monopoly we mean nothing to them.
I would like to talk to one person from Verizon that (give a dam in the head office and tell them my story)Does anyone know when the next meeting is so I can attend it.
The only thing a company understands is money. There should have been fines included in the agreement, fines for work not done, not done on time, or having to be done more than once.
The State of Massachusetts needs to demand more from Verizon for it residents. Wired phone and DSL services are anemic for most residents in rural MA. Wire condition does make a difference, more importantly, its the distance for a Verizon depot to our homes, that's too far. Verizon should be required, by the State to build more infrastructure or lose it licensed monopoly.
Verison was forced out of Vermont. I lived in VT for several years and Verison was such a joke going up on rates several times a year,faulty lines,and poor service. They had also promised for several years to upgrade the lines so rural parts of VT could have internet and wifi. The state finally bought out Verison's rights and brought in Time Warner and another phone company.
It's good to see Verizon settled this case just two weeks after Rep. Mark's election after dragging their feet for so long. The added pressure he was bringing must have forced their hand. Now keep it up and get high-speed internet out here too!
You'll Westerners do not want Verizon's DSL. My Saugus service has been intermittent (up / down) since 04DEC10 - 29DEC10. Today I find that there are some Web sites that I can not connect with period. I suspect a larger regional problem, but they (India Tech. support) do not know or will not tell you the truth. Typically the conversation(s) begin with sorry, and they are SORRY. I know that it is Verizon's DSL connectivity issue because:

and Comcast customers can connect to the site in (?). The copper phone line quality here is very good, but is it good enough for DSL?
I live out here in Easthampton, and the ONLY high speed internet available here is through Charter Communications. After countless splitter changes, cable box and cable modem issues, I can say they are horrible. Their internet service is worse than dial up! However, at least with dial up my connection was stable. I wish we Verizon had DSL here. I would chage over immediately.
