I have formally complained twice in writing and also in telephone calls. Nothing seems to have happened. Now, with a tropical storm making landfall on the Carolina coast and severe storms in the southwest and midwest ("37 million with severe weather") I have the option of a weather widget on channel 49 which works less than half of the time and gives only basic local information or Accuweather which, as mentioned by another, really does look and sound like it was filmed in somebody's garage or rec room.
It is a responsibility that Verizon provide national weather information when there are severe, perhaps life threatening issues. It is not just about our hometowns-it is also about other areas of the U. S. where we may have friends and/or family and have a basic concern for what they are experiencing.
I like Verizon. I also own its stock because of the dividend. Between our cell phones and our bundle we are paying over $5,000 a year. However, when I become scared for what might be coming our way a day or two out or what is happening to a friend or relative elsewhere and do not have the TWC available to me, then I am forced to return to Comcast where I spent 25 years.
