For the second time this year my home land line is out of service. I've been unsuccessful at reaching a human being via telephone or internet. However, the automated services at both just directs me to schedule a "repair appointment" several days in the future, with no specific time commitment. ("8am to 8pm"). Both the fact that such a critical service as a home phone line would take days to get service, and that Verizon wants someone to sit available for a 12 hour window seems beyond ridiculous.
Is there anyway to get someone out in a more timely manor? To say this level of service is unsatisfactory is an understatement.
