I've been a Verizon customer since 2009. I've always been able to renew my agreement without issue - not this time. The agents - note agents, as I had to make multiple calls, each lasting more than 25 minutes - were rude, wouldn't answer direct questions, told outright lies and didn't follow up as they promised to do. I guess my only recourse is to get a gmail account and move to Comcast. I wanted to avoid the hassle of returning equipment and re-installation, but probably don't want to send money to - at the worst, thieves and liars - at the best, poor business people with worse customer service/retention skills. I can only suppose that their cost to keep a customer is more than the cost of attracting a new customer...hard to believe.
