Re: Why billing is screwed up "I don't just think Verizon got FiOS support right, I know they did.
The VZ Direct forum is top-notch, and everyone I've dealt with at FSC was extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly helpful. I never once got the impression that Verizon was trying to deny a problem existed, or was unwilling to resolve it."
Brilliant...its very easy to support a handful of customers (oh and cheap). The problem happens when the customer base grows and support can't keep up. Watch, it will happen.

Rockville, MD Reviews:
 ·Verizon FiOS
| I wouldn't dump billing into the support bucket - I'd categorize billing as billing, so I'll stick by my claim that FiOS support is superb.
But of course, in my experience billing has been fine too. Has your experience been different than mine, hob? |

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
There's plenty of worthless platitudes to throw around.

But of course, in my experience billing has been fine too. Has your experience been different than mine, hob? My experience with Verizon is limited to DSL Support, using the Direct Forum and the Phone system. While the techs in the Direct Forum were pleasant they actually had no clue what the issue was and kept trying to set up a house visit for a router in State College PA. The Billing support was pathetic when I tried to get some sort of credit for the issue. It took three calls to get 20 bucks.
As a support profesional if I was rolling out support for a brand new service it is very easy to look good in the early stages. The Initial take up of the service is normally highly skilled users that in most cases are not a supprt burden. Once marketing starts targetting the next level of the customer base is when the the issues start.
Of Course Billing is SUPPORT.
