Verizon DSL outage reporting to Customer service and credit for service

[TEK11]

I've lost my internet connection 5-10 times during the last 30 days. Each time I tried to report the outage I received an automated response that there was a known outage in my area. Usually, the outage is only a few hours but this past weekend it was over 24 hours. I thought that was bad, but trying to get information and a credit for the outages from Verizon customer service was even worse. Getting through to a human is only the first hurdle. I was then transfer 3-4 times until I ended with tech support who only was interested in checking my line to see if it was working, (it was). He couldn't understand that what I really wanted to know was 'why all the outages' and 'will my bill be credited'; neither question answered.....all I heard was your line is working....frustrating
