I told Verizon on Friday, Sept. 9 that there was heavy static on all my landline phones. The next morning (Sat., Sept. 10), a Verizon technician called me on my cell phone to say there was a defective cable and that it would take until Tuesday, Sept. 13 to get the cable fixed. Now none of my landline phones have a dial tone. When I called Verizon just now, they tell me it will now take *TWO WEEKS* for the cable to be replaced! And that this is "normal," whether there is flooding or not. *THIS IS RIDICULOUS!* Verizon rep tells me she will put in an accelerated repair ticket but still, this is extremely frustrating! Meanwhile, during this weekend, my DSL Internet has sometimes worked and sometimes it doesn't! Is this related to the same cable problem? If this continues, I will seriously consider changing my ISP and phone carrier!
Is there anyone else in Brooklyn, in New York City, or in the surrounding areas who has the same problem?
