Why is Verizon support so grossly incompetent that after a year they cannot fiz an issue

Let me try to put over a year and a half of pure agony into manageable chunks:

1. Verizon offered us an upgrade to "better" service over 18 months ago.

2. After three failed tries at an update that interupted phone and internet service, Verizon agreed to restore our prior service at the same cost even though we were "no longer eligible" to have the plan we had because Verizon created a "New" account for us. Go figure!!!!

3. After multiple reports that Call Intercept wasn't working, we gave up and pretty much just took our home phon7 hours off the hook whenever we were home due to the number fo sales calls coming in.

4. Fast forward a year later, still not using the home phone on a routine basis, but accidentally left it on and went to bed.

5 An anonymous caller called multiple time in the middle of the night.

6. After more than eight hours of phone calls, multiple tickets being opened and closed, Verizon FINALLY said it was fixed. Note that the service that wasn't working was STILL PAID FOR THE ENTIRE TIME AND NO CREDIT OFFERED. This was 1/2/2014 that Verizon finally declared that problem resolved.

7. Tonight two more calls that were supposed to be screened by call intercept. After 30 minutes on the phone "Carlos" claimed all supervisors in the company were in a meeting, then decided I had a billing problem since the feature wasn't on, even though he stated he did not have access to my bill, then hung up after I yelled at him for wasting 45 minutes of my time.

8. An hour later, a supervisor in Billing agreed I didn't have a billing problem since I was paying for the service, but wanted to "help" me. Just like three other "billing supervisors" who hadn't gotten the job done.

Now I have the contact information for another billing person who can't possibly fix the problem the technical team says doesn't exist. Even though they can't see the bill that says I"m paying for the service.

.

Sincerely,

One extremely exhausted and dissappointed customer
