Re: [PLUG] OT: Another Verizon Story
|
Since we're discussing Verizon, here is a picture of my Verizon phone
line AFTER the Verizon repairman came and "fixed" it. A neighbor's lawn
mower had hit an exposed loop of cable that should have been buried.
I assumed when they sent someone out that they would repair the wires,
and the metallic cable shielding, and the insulation, and properly bury
the cable that was lying on the surface of the ground waiting for the
next lawnmower. Silly me!
Instead, this is how they left it. If you looks closely, you might be
able to see where they crimped one pair of the exposed wires and got it
to work again. So now it works, but for how long? I'll have to get
them back out to fix it again tomorrow. Grrr!!

Yesterday I had verizon remove long distance from my account and for the
third time that I have made some account changes I lost my callerid. These
people are such screwups. The changes I made had nothing at all to do
with callerid.
The reason for removal of LD is that now Verizon charges $2.50/month for
LD if you don't use it, which I do not. There is a one time charge of $5
to remove it.
Thought you might like to know since many use VOIP or wireless LD and
would have this charge.
