My Time Warner Cable is down or the umpteenth time this year. Service call is three days out.
I wish Verizon would hurry with their Fios offering where I live.
We had Time Warner for many years.
Verizon came to us and offered a better everything, so we agreed to have them install thier equipment.
I took them all day to install, they placed a large box on the outside of our stucco, and another large box in our laundry room.
When they finally finished the install, we turned on the TV, and the picture was not as good as Time Warner's.
During the transition, we had no TV and no internet for about 3 days.
Also, our answering machine stopped working with Verizon. We bought a new one, thinking the old one was outdated. Same thing, they couldn't get the answering machine to work.
They sent out technicians and supervisors to try to fix the picture and the answering machine. They could fix neither.
After one week we called and cancelled, and went back to Time Warner.
Then, to top it all off, Verizon sent me a bill for about 100.00 dollars.
When I inquired about the bill, no one could give me a straight answer.
This went on for a few years, where I would get a bill from them every month.
I finally told them that I would never, ever, ever pay this bill, and they stopped sending bills.
Verizon is not a good company to deal with, IMO.
By the way, they never took that big box off of our stucco, and the box above the washing machine is still there as well.
