does anyone here work as a customer service rep for Verizon?
I'm not talkin about wireless...I mean the Verizon the telephone+internet+tv company.

I thought I'd ask because I recently got a job as a behavior analyst for VZ customer service reps.
hehe

I worked as a sales rep for both verizon and sprint, I should have made a list of all the assholes that gave me the run around when I called the vendor line. Those people are god damn stupid.

I did sell phones mostly, but I also sold their internet service as well for laptops and such.

Its not that they were bad at their job for the average customer, but I wouldn't have to call unless I had some problem thats not on their talking/process sheet, and I would often have to get a different rep and go up the ladder a bit.

A good call at their vendor number for a wireless or internet customer would take about 30 seconds to a minute. Not always the case, but also not never the case either.

I do know that on their website you can go into an IM convo with their reps- it's real fun to do when you are bored in comp. class.

I have fios and I live in NYC!!!! Hahahaha fools!

+ Show Spoiler +
But seriously, I got scammed by a random Verizon rep who came to our house and forced me to sign for FIOS THAT THE BILL + HOUSE WAS UNDER MY DAD'S NAME. Tried to change and prevent it but no good and got into a fight on a phone with a verizon rep lady and told her "WHEN I EVER MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE, I'M NEVER EVER GETTING ANY VERIZON RELATED PRODUCTS EVER AGAIN! THAT INCLUDES CELLPHONES!"


I sure hope that isn't either of you I fought with..

I don't understand exactly what happened from your description but I nearly had a conversation of the same tone with them over wireless recently.

I don't know how hard it is to talk to one of those VZ reps cuz VZ does not offer any service in midwest...other than wireless...
anyhow i got an awesome job grading the VZ reps. Basically I monitor customer service calls and make sure they are doing their job right...pretty EZ and relaxed hehe

I HATE THAT COMPANIES TECH SUPPORT! Fine I haven't gone through voice changes yet, but after I tell you a half dozen times I'm a boy, you still freaking call me a girl? The thing I heard ofter, in a nearly not understandable accent, with a bad phone connection after telling the agent I was a boy was, "I'm sorry ma'am I cannot help you, I must talk to my superior." On the other hand I call comcast, I get someone who is clear and speaks English like it wasn't their fourth language, and GET THIS who was no more than 10 miles from the location of the call. God I hope we switch.


Yep. That's one thing that I love about us (Comcast) as opposed to Verizon. If you call Verizon's tech support, you're nearly guaranteed to get someone on the other side of the world who you can barely understand. If you call us, you're nearly guaranteed to get someone in the States (usually even the same state as you), or at worst, a Canadian (we apologize for that, sorry ^_^).

Yeah, pretty much. You'll see it in a couple weeks. Any time Verizon tries to roll something out to out-do us, we just one-up them again.

Is this something newer than the Extreme 50 service? I think E-50 was/is already being offered in the Waldorf area of Charles County / Southern Maryland. I still need to get the house cleaned up enough to have a tech come out to re-run our coax. It was laid back in the late 80's or early 90's when we first got cable TV. I'm surprised the connection even works through the old stuff. On-Demand and a few channels don't work through it right now.
