This is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened in the last six months. From the forum entries, it appears this is a common problem in all areas of the country with Verizon ?service?. I called the cell phone of the repair person who came out on the last service call to report the problem at about 11:30 am on 12/06/2011. He wanted to have someone come out when the problem was occurring not after it cleared itself as had happened on the previous calls. The ticket was entered at 7:47 am on 12/07/2011 with a repair person visit scheduled between 8 am and 5 pm on 12/08/2011. Had I not checked the ticket on line I would not know about the scheduled visit. It is still raining so hopefully the problem will not solve itself before the visit. Meantime we are 3 days without a phone. I've had it with Verizon. I will be going to another phone service provider.
