I think that Verizon is a large enough Company to realize that they should recognize our Olympic winners.  Especially, the dedicated and talented American women and in particularly the five gymnastic young women that fought with all they had to make America champs.  They call these heroes the Fierce 5.  The captain of this team, Ms. Alexandra Raisman should be rewarded for her fierce courage in bring this ship home sailing with Olympic gold and American pride.

In paying my monthly bill, I was confronted with an announcemen that I had"won" a valuable prize. After some 100 mouse-clicks, I was led down a rabbit-hole of numerous ads and subscriptions, with successive reminders that just one more click and I'd get my reward. This feels a lot like bait and switch, although I'm sure that Verizon, a reputable and multi-billion $$ corporation would not intentionally waste their subscribers' time with such tactics. If these are necessary, please post an early notice that not all subscribers who are announced as "winners"  will actually win. Or, preferably, please review these ads with your customer Ombudsman.

It should be right on your home page as soon as you sign it.. I also hate how I had to get a bundle with a phone when I have no need for a house phone..  I signed up online and the person said I had to get all 3 when I didn't want to.. Why can't you just let people get what they want and not trick them into buying stuff they do not want ? Once I figure out when my contract is over IM goanna have to look into something else.

Dear Verizon,

  I was reading a recent article in a Popular Mechanics Magazine, concerning,

hardware manufacturing processes for flashdrives in Asia has some serious threats

being installed in their hardware at the plant when the item is made.

Numerous IT savvy people use flash drives to back-up email, important documents,

and even file cleaners to remove activity on their work systems so they can surf

without leaving a trail on the work PC.

  This article describes a process where encrypted spyware exist on the

new flashdrive, that may no be detected by many anti-virus/spyware defensive

systems at the work station.

 The way windows software will rapidly install a new flash drive without

allowing the defensive system to scan for danger. This occurs inside the

mainframes . Most firewalls look for instrsuions outside the server, not from

attacks inside there server, even if the purpose is to steal emails and

passwords, this may allow the installed hardware to export copies of your emails

to a third party.

  This has allows them access to important bid information of major corporations

that are selling or buying companies .

In a High bid world this allows the hacker to provide this information to

their employers giving them a unfair advantage in the world market.

Maybe in the near future all installed new hardware should be sandboxed by

the current antivirus on the mainframe before allowing windows to decompress

the software provided by the manufacturer of the flash drive (hacker software) this may allow the

antivirus to now see the spyware cookie inside the hardware install as it decompresses.

This information should be forwarded to the government and  antivirus companies and

possibly black list the company trying hack the world internet.

  Just a thought, be sure to scan that new usb drive, or flashcard, never install a new

flashdrive at work without secure wiping the  drive and checking for mallware and other nasties

don't assume its clean cause its new, there are numerous nations and hackers trying to

spy into organization and corporate structures.

Imagine how many new flash drives are shoved into mainframes without any worry about

infecting the entire system.

As you can see, the "Rich Text" is working. (for now)

Sadly, this is occuring only about a third of the time.

When we take the time to type out our ideas using sentences and paragraphs, we'd like to see it posted that way.

Most of the time when I click on "Rich Text" , the page that I'm on, simply reopens and still, the "Rich Text" doesn't work.

To get it to work this time, I had to start a new thread.

Thank you

Allow Advanced Search by Idea Category and Idea Statuses, and specify the Category or Status. I thought we could do that before. So if a user wants to do a search of all their Ideas based on a Category or Statuses, it well help them look at what they have suggested, or any loose ends they may have for a given Category or Statuses. Such as Clarification needed. Help customer help Verizon.

It would be nice if I could search to see what I have for Clarification needed.

I can't correct my earilier post. 

If I could, I could save time and problems for all.

Thanks!

how about one facebook page for verizon, not an individual one for fios, wireless, business, etc

This is another suggestion about this webpage.

I've had a lot of trouble posting anything to it,  I discovered that you now are prevented from posting a message unless you submit a category (see the area on the right).

Thanks to ornahp, a Moderator who posted about this. 

My suggestion is to include this instruction prominently right where the poster will see it, maybe above the posting window.  I'll bet there are people who have tried to post ideas and gave up, especially after seeing the line about how "a few functions were impacted, including the ability to post new ideas to the Idea Exchange."
