said by NY Tel:said by majortom1029: That doesn't matter that gives them no right to rip out his cable and take over Vonages phone service when he told them not to. So you are saying I can come over to your house cut you verizon service out and replace it with Cablevision and you cant do a darn thing to me?
That is just plain stupid.
Perhaps you don't see it but if you read his blog, he had the opportunity to take 3 calls from Verizon. How do you know that call number 1 was not from Verizon saying "sorry Matt, the order placed on the 7th fell through the cracks but we have re-scheduled for the 29th...is that OK?" but YOU and I will never know because he refused to take the calls so he is as much a part of the problem as Verizon is. You can't have it both ways in life, yes Verizon does screw up and so does every other cable company in the world. You need to be part of the solution and answering calls from the company you originally placed the calls with is part of that responsibility.
I never said it was ok to rip up his lawn or disconnect his service. He needed to be more proactive in this situation.
Having a realistic outlook and grasp on life requires all of us to be pro-active. Survival.
I agree too, He should have talked to Verizon when they called, It's the only way to get stuff done, Otherwise they could go on to the next person thinking You're not home.
