Is anyone else totally fed up with Verizon service and support?

Internet and phone went down on Thursday.  Called support and spent 1 1/2 hours between hold and speaking with a support rep.  I was told that there was a severe outage on the phone lines, but internet should be working.  After going through series of diagnostics and getting network group involved, the service rep determined that I needed a home visit.  We scheduled it for the next day (Friday).  Over night, I get a text that my problem was solved and service visit was cancelled. Woke up Friday, had internet and phone.  On Saturday, didn't have internet or phone.  Called Sunday morning (still no service) and after being on hold and going through diagnostics, was told earliest appointment was on Tuesday.  I made the appointment.  Later Sunday, I got a text that my service issue was fixed.  It wasn't, so I called again to make sure that they didn't cancel my service call.  After waiting an hour on hold, I was told that there was no record of my earlier issues and that the earlier service reps couldn't give me an appointment because there was a total outage in the area (there wasn't.  Others in our neighborhood had service).  So I made another appointment for Tuesday.  That call took about an hour after being on hold for an hour.  Monday morning, we have our services, but I don't get a cancellation of the service visit. The first service rep mentioned an issue with my ONT, so I figured it would still need to be looked at I was expecting someone here Tuesday morning.  I went online this morning to get a status on my service ticket and there are none listed.  I am not sure if the next rain storm will shut me down again.  No call, no follow up, no regard for the time spent down (rates should be prorated for the 3 days I didn't have service).  Between the three calls I made, it felt like I was speaking to a different company with a different story every time.  I will be looking into alternative options for TV, Internet and phone.  That is a shame, because I was one of the first FIOS customers in my neighborhood.  The only good thing is that I get some satisfaction in filling out the surveys they send after a call.  No stars for you, Verizon!
