New Customer: Installer Destroyed DVD

[Ibutterfly]

Help, folks...I have never had a worse installation. I used to do this for a living but physically disabled (my hands) for a few years now.

1. March 18: The installer lost one of my telephones, the one in my office. It took me over four hours to finally find it wrapped in wires behind a tower-style computer. He also left my office in shambles. He was rude.
2. It turned out that contrary to my request to keep my phone number, Verizon issued a new phone number and I was not aware of that until four days later when a frantic friend knocked on my door. I am housebound a lot due to physical disability.
3. Because of the phone screw-up, I could not cancel my Comcast account until March 25. Therefore, this error cost me an entire extra week with Comcast.
4. I did call Verizon when I found that my channel request had been ignored. Bad job all the way around.
5. The initial salesperson said I would not be billed until April 23. Then I had a bill due April 15.
6. Lastly but not least, when I said to the installer to please not disrupt any of my components attached to my home theatre, he assured me that he would not. However, after he left, my DVD player-writer (Panasonic) stopped functioning. I have made two long phone calls the past 8 days with assurances that this error would be corrected in person.
   
   I just checked the trouble ticket, and it says there are no open trouble tickets!!!
   
   
7. Both technicians over past week said that there was no way that the installer could have installed the Verizon set-top box without disrupting the DVD player. They both said that they would get a technician on site and that I would be credited for that visit. They both said they would confirm with me by phone within 24-48 hours. I never heard from either of them.
8. June 3: Third attempt over the phone: This rep was very abrupt and rude—he said it was not Verizon’s equipment. I had to explain AGAIN that Verizon’s installer had done something wrong because my component was fine until the Verizon installation. He then said he could get a technician out Friday afternoon. June 6.
   
   Anyone know who to contact at Corporate? Over two  months of Verizon hell makes me wonder why I switched from Comcast.
