Over the past 7 days I have wasted 123 cell phone minutes on hold trying to find out why I have not had a dial tone for over 7 days. The answer I received tonight was Verizon will not spend moeny on an antiquated copper system such as mine and I should switch to FIOS . Why would I switch to Fios ? Because Verizon is coercing me? There are 27 families in Kings Park without a phone for 7 days and the estimated repair time is apparently another 7-10 days. How transparent is Verizon?? If hey refuse repair customers will be forced to get FIOS. I have been a customer for over 25 years and have never been treated so poorly by a company.
