No internet for a week

[Luvly565]

I'm posting here out of desperation that someone will help. Last Wednesday our internet quit working. I contacted Verizon via online chat in the early evening and was told the diagnostic systems were down and to try back in a few hours. I did as requested and was passed back and forth between tech support and billing multiple times. Tech support did not believe we paid our bill (we did and always do) and billing didn't believe our internet was out. After over an hour, I got on the phone with someone named Carlos. He put me on hold within 2 minutes and hung up. I then sent an email about my issue. I have yet to get a response to that email I sent Wednesday night. Thursday morning I called and waited 30 minutes to talk to someone. This individual did agree to talk to billing herself. However, after being on hold for several hours I was told a ticket had been created for a different department. She refused to transfer me to anyone else or to give me the ticket number. I was told our internet would be fixed in 3 to 5 days and someone would contact me when they started working on it. Thursday afternoon I sent another email hoping to get the ticket number. I didn't have time to wait on hold again. I still have not received any response to that email. Saturday morning I received a survey that I completed stating my issue wasn't resolved. After not hearing anything for several days, my husband called Monday and was passed around until someone decided to try to help. We learned that there was no ticket created previously. We were lied to that someone would be working on it. A ticket was created Monday night, as far as we know. Tuesday morning I received a call as a follow up to the survey I took. However, the person that called was unable to assist me. She offered to transfer me to tech support but I did not have time to wait on hold. Even though she said she was sorry, she offered no remedy for the fact that I have been hung up on, ignored and lied to over the past week.

I understand that no system is perfect and am not concerned that my internet was shut off originally. I am concerned that is now almost a whole week later and it has not been fixed. I am also extremely disappointed by the customer service I have received.
