Technician 99 Minimum Fee.

KRJIN

Is Verizon playing a game against us to get us to pay the $99 fee or get their "insurance". Our internet just stopped working overnight and when speaking to a rep, the only way for them to get the internet service back up is to pay a minimum of $99 to get a technician (looking online looks like people were charged total around $160 for service) or get their insurance of $25 dollars a month.

We did absolutely NOTHING that caused this connection issue, yet we are the one responsible for the $99 MINIMUM fee and/or $25 a month of insurance? What stops Verizon from purposefully stopping service so that we have to get these "services" every time?
