For the last sevn months Verizon has provided fairly competent customer service. However, that being said, we went through four months of internet hell, where our speed dropped, our routers dropped devices, and scheduled customer service calls were dropped (on Verizon's end--not that they cared that I or my wife took off of work to meet a service guy who never came, called, or followed up). This weekend we have seen a backslide in Verzon's service.
I pay for up to 7 M download speed, but usually get 3.4.
On Friday our download speed was 3.4
Saturday our download speed was 2.7
Sunday our download speed was 2.2
Monday our download speed was 1.7
Now, I don't know about anyone else, but when our speed drops our router starts acting like a freak on the dance floor. It dops devices, drops service, re-setting the device helps get it up for a while, but only for a while.
We hav a new router. The router works great until the speed drops. Then haywire.
When the speed is 3.4 or higher the router doesn't need to be reset every 20 minutes.
Well, when it is down to 1.7---we are resetting the interenet every hour.
This is an issue that has to be fixed on Verizon's end. Though when I call the customer service line all I get is the usualu unplug your router, and we willdo a line tests, etc.
