Moved from Manhattan to Queens; Verizon not helping me move my landline

Hello. I recently moved from Manhattan to Queens.  I want to keep my landline.  (I understand that I can't keep my same telephone number, but I want to keep a landline).  I followed all the steps on the Verizon website for moving.  I received a confirmation email that my "services are on the move!", and I received a tracking number for my order.

Now, my order is stuck in some sort of limbo.  Verizon has not activated the landline here in my new apartment.  And despite having an appointment for today with a Verizon technician, to my knowledge, no one came out to investigate or set up the landline.  I have held 3 separate chats with 3 separate support technicians, and I have had 3 telephone conversations with Verizon customer support reps, and none of them have been able to resolve my issue.

I understand that Verizon is trying to retire copper landlines and switch over to FiOS, but my new neighborhood isn't even set up for FiOS --- the only option is copper landlines (other than cell phones).

What can I do to get a landline established at my new address?
