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?

Nods in agreement with a catch.
Do not post serial numbers or anything sensitive. If the OP has any questions if something is sensitive besides serial numbers, they are welcome to ask if the thing that they are about to post is sensitive or not. Ex if MAC/Phyiscal/Hardware Address = FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF could question if MAC/Phyiscal/Hardware Address(es) are sensitive.
