"Verizon's answer to this is to have automated test systems delete repair orders as soon as the line "looks" normal to the computer with out a tech visit out verify."
I had this exact problem happen here in northern VA. Phone and DSL would go in and out of service. I was pretty sure that it was due to a squirel's nest on the pole. I knew for sure that it wasn't an interior problem and could be verified at the NID.
But, so while I took a day off of work, Verizon decided to cancel the tech without telling me. Oh, in case you didn't know, Verizon is really cute by not giving a 4 hour window. You get the day they're coming and that's it. I was on the phone that evening explaining to a Tier II that I was royally annoyed that the service guy didn't show up and why the heck, when I called earlier in the day to verify that dispatch was indeed sending someone out, wasn't I told that the ticket was cancelled? She suggested that I submit another ticket and start over. I asked her how, by doing this, I wouldn't have the same thing happen again. She was stumped by this. On to Tier III.
So the infrastructure historically payed for by the taxpayer is being neglected. I have fled to cable internet, voip, and cell phone. |
