Conversion from Copper to Fiberoptic A COMPLETE FAILURE

[summitmom]

I have been without telephone service since September 16 when I allowed Verizon to exchange my copper wiring for fiberoptic cable.  I was told this was required.  Since then, 6 tickets for repair have been entered, 4 technicians have been to my home and I have spent 7-8 HOURS on the telephone and live chat to get my telephone service repaired.  My simple request most recently to find out how to file a complaint was met with confusion - noone knows how to do that.  The Verizon website says responses directed to the Board of Directors will only be answered for investors.  I am not now nor will I likely ever based on my experience, be a Verizon investor.

I was told this morning that only one supervisor was available and that they would call me back in 30 minutes.

We live in a capitalist country and yet this has all the feel of a state-owned business.  

HOW DO I FILE A COMPLAINT?  HOW DO I GET MY PHONE FIXED? IS COMCAST ANY BETTER?
