VERIZON WON'T SAY WHY

Hi everyone.

Today I went into my yard to find orange marks all over the 12' x 12' width of my front lawn.  The twin next to me also had a few orange lines, but nowhere near as much as mine.  My entire front, even around a big maple tree, was marked.

A neighbor told me they took ground plate off my property & were splicing a line.  My problems with this are:  1) No  notification or letter sent as is instructed by my boro.  2)  The ground plate was not put back perfectly as it should be, don't need bugs & rodents from beneath. 3) Why was a line being stripped of insulation & stripped/spliced to begin with.  4)  When I called Verizon, they admitted they could not give me an answer since although crew was sent to my property, it wasn't for my property & they can't disclose other potential customers use of my property.  Background:  I was attacked/assaulted by the male living in the other twin.  Less than a week later, they sent Comcast to dig up my front & small backyard with locked fence - no easement anywhere.  I reported to my boro who made them leave & who agreed letter should have been sent stating what they planned on doing, permit should have been gotten, and easement must be provided.  Here less than 5 years.  They did none of the above & I have never let Comcast on my property.  I always thought Fios/Verizon was the more courteous and followed the rules, unlike Verizon.  But today proved otherwise.  I am sadly disappointed in what Fios did today and even more upset after talking to Verzion customer service for 2 hours, that I have to wait 24-48 hours to find out what a crew was doing & did on my property, without my knowledge.  Emergency situations are always an exception.  I get that.  But a planned installation is clearly not an emergency and is known days beforehand.  I fear this was a scheduled installation for the doorknobs next door, when they have a corner property with 3x the land I do.  I am extremely disappointed with the "non-service" provided to me today.  I have a ticket # - woo hoo.
