Here's how this has progressed.
Problem: Poor cell phone reception at my house.
1. I signed up for FiOS with home phone service in order to have a way to talk on the phone at my house.
2. The new phone is constantly bombarded with tele-marketers. The service is horrible (faint sounds and voice pickup).
3. Tech support could not fix the problem. 2 calls did not fix the problem.
4. In the mean time, I attempted to combine my wireless and FiOS onto one bill. I'm told that's not possible. Is VZ really just one company?
5. Also in the mean time, I attempt to get a Government Employee discount on my residential service. I've enjoyed one on my wireless service ever since I've had a cell phone thanks to the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act. I made 2 attempts online, through my .mil address and ultimately on the phone with the company. No resolution. I'm convinced it doesn't exist.
6. Since the phone doesn't work, I wanted to save a little money and just disconnect the service. I should have read the fine print though. I was charged $220 to disconnect this service.
Conclusion: I should have left well enough alone and stuck with Time Warner Cable and suffered through the bad cell phone reception at my house.
I assume that there is no resolution to any of this. I looked for a way to provide the company with feedback but there didn't appear to be any. At the very least, maybe this can serve as a warning to other unsuspecting people thinking about switching to more VZ service. At least in this part of California, less is definitely better.
