I called Verizon Fios yesterday to let them know I'd be moving within the same city and would like to transfer my Fios. After 40 minutes, I was told my bill would be going up over $40 dollars and that there would be an 11 day wait to get a tech to install. I understand the strike situation, but would rather not wait that long and got a better rate elsewhere.
I then requested my services be cancelled on June 17, when I move. I repeatedly said I'd like Fios service until June 17 and confirmed with the representative that I would have service until then. A few minutes after I got off the phone I got an email saying my services were cancelled immediately, again, not what I explicity requested. I immediately got on the phone and tried to fix it. Long story short, I kept being put on hold, disconnected, and transferred for hours.
I finally spoke to someone helpful last night. I would like to provide her name in a confidential manner, so she can be credited at least.
Anyway, I started a chat today, to check on the status. I have spent over 4.5 hours on the phone and on chat trying to resolve this and I just keep getting passed from person to person and nothing gets done. The lack of accountability is astounding. I've chatted with over 5 people (at this point I can't keep track) and each ones just say, " I can't help, I'll transfer you to billing." They billing department say they can't help and I get transferred and the cycle continues over and over again.
This is the worst customer service I've encountered. In my business if you make a mistake, you fix it. UPDATE: chat lasted an hour and I was just told repeatedly I can't be of any help call the same nubmer you futilely called for hours last night. Here is the chat ID
