Why did Verizon attempt to merge yesterday the Verizon.net / Verizon.com websites when obviously Verizon was not up to the task of handling the volume? Since yesterday I have not been able to view my bill, etc because of this disaster. The E Center admitted that they are having issues with this.
Oh, if anybody wants it, I discovered the number for Verizon's premium tech support, its 866-812-0210,
have at it!

Doesn't seem any slower or more laggy than it usually is. Then again, that would be pretty hard to top.

I just tried the mereger of accounts today to My verizon... What a disaster!!! Called tech support & they say they are aware of the issue & may take a week to fix. Basically I can look at my emails but cant look at my billing & FIOS TV account. How long did it take to resolve your problem?

I have the same experience. I cannot view or pay my bill online anymore.
I even cannot login to the forums using my new user id. I had to use my old user id to log in.
The entire experience has been frustrating. The integration is a total mess. Verizon management should not tolerate this. Their IT staff obviously botched the job.
Customer service say they'll resolve the issue in 1 to 2 billing cycles. That's 60 days! This turnaround time is unacceptable for a company this big.
They should at least offer an option to switch back to the old website.

I previously contacted the e-center at 888-710-0671 & 888-669-9901. I called them again today & once again I was told the IT group has the problem & it may take MONTHS to resolve the issue. At this point in time, I've just about had it! I am going to contact the PSC (Public Service Commission) to file a complaint & seriously consider canceling all my services with Verizon & look for another provider for all my services. If their system was not ready to merge the ID's of Verizon.net & Verizon.com, it shouldn't have been done! PATHETIC!

I had similar problem like yours for the last 10 days. I kept calling Verizon E-Center at least 10 times during this period without any success.
But finally today I talked to someone named Oliver, he recommend me to clear all the cookies before I log into Verizon web site.
It works !!! Now I can view my Verizon bill.
This is just a work around since you have to clear cookies everytime you want to view the bill. But I can live with this work-around until they can fix it if ever. Hope it works for you too.
I am really disgusted with Verizon, it is supposed to be a Hi-tech company, but they release some junk never tested & degugged fully, they should be ashamed of themselves !!!
Also why you can't view bill in Verizon Central is so **bleep**. LOL

wabufs,
I have been waiting 10 days for a resolution form e-help, so thanks for the information I tried clearing my cookies but only after login, clear my cookies, close and open my browser, I can live with this as it is.
As for your other issues I can only say the service, function, and features are excellent for me. It's just a shame that the help desk / centers support staff feel they can tell you anything and you will go away.

They keep telling me there was a system error when the Verizon.net & Verizon.com user ID's merged. My problem unfortunately isn't solved by clearing the cookies or history. After escalating this problem within Verizon, I am told the IT departmen is aware of ths & hopefully will be resolved very soon...I hope so... I will update the post as soon as any other developments occur.

I had a horrible time logging into my account to pay the bill.
Issues with Merging the two accounts (I didn't even realize I had a .net account...)
Being paperless, I don't know my account number, or my home phone number(the only reason I have it is for my security system) so it was a daunting task trying to get my password reset so I could merge accounts and pay my bill.
After having a horrible experience with the online support over the phone, including being disconnected after almost an hour of going nowhere. I finally got in contact with someone in billing who was VERY helpful and gave me my account number and phone number, listened to my complaints on their support and threw in a small perk for my troubles. After that it was easy to get my .net password reset and my accounts merged.
I work in IT support, and I've worked in a call center in previous jobs, neither are fun when things go wrong and customers are furious.
A little bit of advice when dealing with their support, even if you're having trouble and are irritated, try to keep your composure and be the bigger person.
I actually take pride in the amount of things I've accomplished/perks/discounts I've received when dealing with numerous companies support lines when things go wrong. You might be surprised by that outcome, as the old phrase "you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar..." is never more fitting than in reference to telephone support.

Just incase everyone here wasn't frustrated enough, I found this interesting, not 100% un-debateable but interesting...
