When a customer orders Fios for TV, Cable and phone, the customer should have the entire installation completed in one appointment. Our technician arrived knowing he had to install 6 HD boxes for Fios TV, Internet router box and phone service. The technician installed the phone and internet and then advised he "had to leave because then he would be on overtime, but there will be another technician than works evenings that will be here shortly and finish the installation." Well, guess what? No one showed up. I called the verizon number I was given and they advised that my installation would not be completed on the date it was promised, and it never had any intention of completing it in one day. The technician lied and was unwilling to finish the job. He only had another hour or so to go (these were his words); yet he walked away from the job without completing it.
Solution: be honest with the customer. If the installation will take more than one day, then say so. The least the technician could of done was at least install one of the televisions and advise that we would have to reschedule the remainder of the installation for the remainder 5 TVs.
Better solution: don't schedule installations for one residence that can't be completed in one day. An entire day was wasted waiting on the technician, only to find out that I will have to take another day off from work just to get the installation complete. And I understand that the activation began on the original date of installation, even though the there is no television service. So I get to pay for service I have not even received.
And talking to someone in Pittsburgh does not help at all.
Why can't we talk directly to dispatch personnel assigned to our area?
