verizon has the best service in the tri-state area, without a doubt. the only place i have no signal EVER is in my school auditorium, go figure. their nationwide deal is good, and their family plan, but they mooch your money and make you pay for EVERYTHING. i get charged for reading texts, not even sending them. also, they accept no rings or anything cool from any sites except their own.

I am NOT talking about Verizon cellphone service. I am talking about Verizon home phone service. They suck. I have spent a total of three hours this week holding on the phone 6 different times for telephone repair.
Interestingly enough all the trouble started when I cancelled DSL with them......they truly suck.

Cellphonewise, I agree they are the best.

Everyone complains about their cell phone provider whoever they may be. I have Verizon and although I am not pleased I am satisfied. Could be worse.

I just remember when we had the blackout a couple of years and I was hiking across the Brooklyn Bridge, We folks with Verizon were the only ones getting through, That convinced me.

I'm sorry, Elphaba.

I had a friend that was just complaining about them last week. She called and specifically told them she did NOT want service and they still sent a guy out to set it up and charged her for it!

I don't understand why they can be such a good cellphone company but terrible with other phones!

Exhibit A why I no longer have a land line.

I used to work there. Land line (home) service is mainly controled by union workers, who pretty much do as they please. I am not saying all union employees are bad, but it is a different mindset. Cell phone is non-union, and therefore more competitive.

My parents have Verizon phone service as well as DSL. It's freakin' ridiculous how bad they both are when used together. Even though they have two separate lines going into the house, there's still a clicking when you're on the phone when someone is getting online, then the sound gets bad on the phone. And when you're online, it takes twice as long for everything to load if someone is on the phone, then goes back up to lightning speed as soon as they hang up.

My parents have had people come out to their house multiple times to try and fix it, but they claim there's nothing they can do.

I had DSL with them for four years...and each year got progressively worse. As I modem into work, I need a service that is reliable. Since Sp 1 I noticed I was getting kicked offline between 10-15 times a day.
Since I changed to cable 2 weeks ago, I have not been kicked off once
