I am a new Verizon Fios internet customer and can say upon receiveing my very first bill am a very dissapointed one. I was debating between purchasing Verizon or Optimum. When I saw a promotion on the Fios site that the initial $99 one time activation fee would be waived I decided to sign-up for Fios. The online activation was having issues processing my order so I called in.
I was greeted by a Verizon rep who was very friendly and quickly set me up. She informed me that I would initally be charged the $99 activation fee, but would have a credit for that amount on my bill. I now realize I was lied to for the sake of making a sale. I received my first bill with no credit! When I called in to confirm, a second rep told me there was no record on my account of a waived charged. I am glad I am not tied into a contract as I will be cancelling and switching to Optimum out of principal. I do not like dealing with deceptive companies. I work in social media marketing and will be sure to let my following know of this horrible, deceptive customer service!
