I am new to Verizon and have been very disappointed in the quality of the closed captioning text. I see previous posts here from years ago stating the same thing. The text spacing and font is horrible and there are shows where the text is complete unreadible. Do any of the closed caption settings make a different in the readability? Is there a solution to this? I just switched from another provider where I had no issues. Has anyone tried filing a complaint with the FCC?
