My wife and I ordered new service to be installed at a home we purchased/setlled and moved into last week. We were told that we would only need the self installation kit, as the previous owners also had Fios service. This was on a Wednesday. I was told my equipement should arrive that Friday, but could be the following Monday at the last. The next Tuesday my kit had yet to arrive so I called Verizon only to find out that they failed to finish "processing" my order. They then shipped out the kit. It arrived Thursday and I hooked everything up. It did not work correctly. After spending hours on the phone with a troubleshooters I was told that a Tech would need to come and troubleshoot my Main box coming in the house... which is wierd considering it worked for the previous owners only days before we moved in. We were told they would call me back within the hour to schedule the appointment. After waiting for 3 hours, I decided to call back in. They apologized that they forgot to call and scheduled the appointment for first thing Friday morning. My wife took off work Friday so that we could finish this. Friday afternoon at 3:00 pm we Finally get a call apologizing that they were unable to make it and want to reschedule for the following week.
All throughout this story I left out the numerous hours I've speant on the phone, either on hold or being transferred from one person to the next. This is the worst customer experience I have ever had. Verizon fails in setting realistic customer expectations...
