Twice in three months, no voice, no internet, 10-day wait for repair

[#1]

For seven months, starting August 2012, my voice line was so noisy I had to end some conversations, and internet data transfer rates were slower then dialup (slower than 50 kbps).

Then, in March,no service for 8 days: no voice, no DSL.

At least, I thought, voice and DSL would improve after the "fix." Not the case. Same noisy line, same slow internet.

This past Saturday...less than two months later, again, a dead telephone line and no DSL. This time, though, the estimated time to repair is 10 days! The customer service rep (10:30 p.m., Saturday), was professional and efficient.

I walk past a Verizon central office on my way to work and noticed that Verizon is using a contractor now. Quality assurance, apparently, is not part of their contract, although the technician did leave a voice mail after the repair.

Come on, Verizon! You used to be the gold standard!
