On 6/27, my FIOS wire was cut by neighour due to incorrect markings by Miss Utility. Marks were off by over 6ft. So can't really blame the neighbour.
I reported this right away to Verizon and they came out to run a temporary cable on 7/2. Since my verizon box is inside the house, they ran the temporary wire through the yard and basement window. My basement window is partially open to this day in rain and hot weather.
Verizon said a crew will be out within a week to bury the wire permanently. No one showed up so I called again, they opened a ticket and said someone would contact me in 48 hours. Everytime I call them, they said the ticket is already closed and they open a new one. It's been close to a month now, still I have a temporary cable running through the yard and through my basement window. My kids have already tripped over this stiff FIOS wire few times and scraped their knees.
Latest ticket was opened again on 7/22 and they said someone will definately call in me 48 hours this time and my issue will be resolved. I still haven't heard from anyone, so I called again today 7/25, and they said my ticket from 7/22 was closed and they opened a new ticket.
I am not sure what's going on with Verizon? I have been a very happy FIOS customer for over 10+ years, but this is really annoying me. Today I called and told them if I don't hear from anyone today and if wire is not trenched today or tomorrow, I am going to cancel FIOS and go with Comcast even though I prefer FIOS.
This is simply pathetic.
