They all suck. I hate cell phone companies with a passion. None of them deliver the service they promise. Getting help is akin to pulling teeth in a medieval torture chamber. You can’t get phone X unless you have service Y.

Pay TV companies are just as bad. We spend thousands on cell phone and pay TV service annually and they both suck horrendously. What crap. I hate them both immensely.

news google the story, and click on it from there to avoid the meter. newspaper websites exempt traffic from google news through their paywall.

Verizon is the old “General Telephone.” There was an old TV commercial where during a party, a woman asks her husband to say something funny. He replies by saying:”General Telephone” and everyone erupts in laughter. They sucked then, just as they do now.

I have a Trac phone (or is it fone?). The only reason I have it is my car has 200,000 miles on it and I have roadside assistance. Just put the phone in the car when I drive.

Probably only use one or two minutes a month.

I absolutely hate Verizon. I've never experienced such rotten customer service in my life. Ask 10 different Verizombies the same question and you'll get 15 different answers. And ask the same question again the next day and you'll get 20 new ones. They are the worst liars and two-bit con men on earth. You can't believe anything they tell you.

As soon as my son is on his own and paying for his own plan, I'm done with those crooks.

I’d be happy to find a carrier which had a phone which wasn’t monstrous. All of them seem to be suited to watching videos but not fitting in a pocket.
I currently use Republic Wireless but their new phones are huge.

I would get rid of Verizon, but they are the only carrier that has coverage in the areas I work. Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T all suck coverage wise in SW Arizona.

Things could have been even worse if Verizon hadn't suddenly reintroduced unlimited data plans in February...

Which I went to, Verizon wireless being my only choice for broadband out here in the sticks. Good service, good gear, only... Well, only there's a little catch. If you're using one of their wireless APs, after 10 GB a month they throttle you down from LTE4 to LTE3 and there isn't anything you can do about it. And it's very difficult to find in their user terms, and frankly I haven't managed to do that yet, and I've tried. So yeah, great idea, deceptive marketing, and an irritated customer who's checking his other options. That's what's happening to Verizon.

Where I live in a rural area Verizon has the best coverage, but pricey. So I went with a Page Plus plan (sold by Walmart and online) which runs on the Verison network but costs less than half.

Churn is the nature of the business, a year ago Sprint was on the losing end, so they got aggressive and went after Verizon’s customers. Next year it will be different.

amazing how much venom a wireless carrier can generate.

yeah, their customer service sucks — because it can afford to suck. they have 3 bars on the moon, and two bars on mars.

I get a better signal with my TracFone than my Verizon phone.

That pin you heard dropping was the JackBoot of telcoms dropping on your tender trailing anatomy.

If cell service ever came to this holler, I doubt I would bother and just continue my current dilligaf.

We have had Virgin Mobile unlimited for 8 years without a single problem.

When we moved back to Florida, we upgraded our Verizon cell service to include an IPhone (unlimited) along with an old flip phone and a smart pad. The whole package was $126 a month (used to pay only $30 a month for flip phone cell). Once we moved into the condo, we started getting FIOS for TV and internet and they included a voice (land line) in the package. Since FIOS was Verizon, we asked why they couldn't do a package deal. No dice. So we were paying $126 for cells AND around $150 for FIOS TV package with HS WIFI Internet.

THEN...Verizon didn't operate or own FIOS anymore, they sold it to Frontier. LOUSY service, even worse customer service. After our contract expired, it took me three months and five trips to the Frontier office to get rid of the land line we never needed but were now being charged for and what had cost $150 for FIOS was now north of $225 for Frontier! Finally got that straightened out and our TV/Internet bill is around $150 and cell service with Verizon is $126. In June, I'll be able to drop the smart pad service which will only help a little.

The irony is not only did I used to work for GTE/Verizon, but we probably watch Netflix more than cable TV channels! It certainly is a racket.

Anyone know a way my Mom can JUST get basic cable TV (she doesn't need voice or internet) and her new apartment only contracts with SPECTRUM and they don't really have a decent price for those who only want basic TV?

Cellphone reception is sketchy where we live in the Santa Cruz mountains, no matter what carrier you use — but Verizon has usually sucked the least. Their reintroduction of “unlimited data” helped convince us to stay with them.
