Trying to start new service I have now placed 2 new service orders w/ Verizon and each time they have been canceled with no reason given. The sad part is the building we are moving into has Verizon Fios Residential account in place and installed. So instead of me just taking over the service installed, they insist the previous account has to be canceled, all equipment turned in, a new service added and new equipment hooked up. However, they can't seem to be able to handle this simple task and their offshore support is the worst I have experienced by far. I have now wasted 3 days and countless hours w/ their customer service reps that are clearly not capable. Pull your support back to the US and hire capable people because your CS is the worst.

Verizon support is unreliable at best Verizon support is unreliable at best. After a long wait on hold your chances of getting knowledgeable and competent support is 50/50. It seems that many of them are poorly trained and are just reading from a script or flow chart. They are incapable of resolving anything of nuance or complexity. When you realize the support agent you are speaking to is an automaton further engagement is futile so immediately ask to speak to another agent. The second tier of support can usually resolve most issues.

Their tech people on chats are very… Their tech people on chats are very stupid. I had problems with my landline captel phone. He kept trying to fix the tv captions! Blew out the internet twice. Said a tech can come for $99! We haven’t had service a month! Finally we got a woman on the phone who was reasonably smart. Captel operated on slower speed. We now have both. You need an american to help. Outsourcing does not work. Stop relying on chat so much!

Avoid if possible: not a good experience Like many others who have commented here, we had an outage that lasted Thursday night all the way to Monday morning. I was on the phone two different times, I probably spent 10 hours total trying to figure out what the problem was, in the end it was a data center problem, and they just couldn't give me any answers at all. Also, we've been waiting almost a whole year for their service people to come in and bury the line. I just can't in good conscience recommend them to anyone, for any reason at all.

Verizon FiOS is one of the worst apps… Verizon FiOS is one of the worst apps I’ve ever seen if you even dare use the rewind or fast forward button it completely shut down the whole process of youse and then you have to get out and get in five different times for it to finally work again what is the point!!!! I thought since they updated the app I would try it again and of course it’s still horrible! It is unbelievable how bad their app is to watch your DVR stuff in this day and age of technology.!!!!
