Re: In-Home Agent and Windows 7, 64 bit

Could you guys at least make it FAIL on Windows 7 64-bits?  Every time I need something I get prompted and re-directed to use InHome agent.  I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and the inhome agent takes liek 4-5 minutes to come up, the feedback button takes like 3 minutes to "load a form" and then gives you a blank page, nothing works.

 

I hate it that something that should take 30 seconds to do causes me to spend 1/2 an hour fighting your software. The same goes for your website, unfortunately.

 

I like Fios, but when I recommend it I tell people "Verizon has just about the WORST support software in the industry". Don't expect a lot from their web site, their voice mail on a PC, their order management system, etc., etc., etc". 

 

Very aggravated.

I have to agree with Dave.  I also have W7 Ultimate x64 and I removed the V* sw because it was bloatware.  Also, it's ridiculous that sometimes it takes forever for the V* website to load when I don't have a bandwidth issue (I've run speedtest while waiting for the V* site to load).

 

As far as IHA, the messages weren't very helpful.  When will V* start to care about the user experience, especially from a support perspective?  I also tell everyone that FIOS is great, as long as it works.  If you need help, fugitabotit!

 

Ordering things on the web should be easy, like DirecTV, not a CF like the V* site.  If I could get the HD D* signal, I'd go back, just because the user experience is so much better than V*...

Re: In-Home Agent and Windows 7, 64 bit

Wow.  So this possibly explains why in-home agent didn't seem to work on my machine and eventually had to be deleted.  Seems pretty basic that verizon should warn folks of this incompatability.

Ventoux11, this is a VERY old post. It no longer has relevant information. IHA is fully compatible with Windows 7 64-bit now.
