No landline phone service for more than a week

[bondor6]

I have been without landline phone service since Wednesday September 4th, 2013. Today, September 12, is a full 8 days without phone service. I have called Verizon countless amount of times with promises to come and fix my service but to no avail. I was informed this was an area outtage which would make me think they would fix it faster but no. I am so disappointed with the way Verizon has been handling this situation. Typical, if you ask me. My ticket number is{edited for privacy}
