I receive many calls from Verizon, including one from this number today. I had Verizon & its predecessors for my business phone & internet for over 40 years, but their service, while never superior, deteriorated to the point where I was losing calls. Also, they don't offer fiber (FIOS) service at my business location or my home, despite having promised to provide it about 18 years ago & having been granted permission to raise their rates to underwrite the cost. I finally dumped them in January of 2014, switching to my local cable company, which gives me call waiting, caller ID, call transfer & a host of other services, as well as over 15Mbps/5Mbps download/upload internet speed, all for less than Verizon charged for horrible "service". Subsequently, I switched to the cable company at my home, where I now get more TV channels( most of which suck, as before) & well over 50Mbps internet speed, again for less than I was paying Verizon with a DirecTV bundle. I seriously doubt that I would ever do business with Verizon again, especially since their customer disservice reps continuously lied to me for years about repairing my phone line, which had a habit of developing a loud hum whenever it rained.
