  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Chicago, Illinois (25)Ezra Israelsohn (@EzraIsraelsohn) reported fromOak Park, Illinois

    @Verizon y’all really gonna tell me that 2 bars of LTE cell signal ain’t enough to load ANYTHING off ANY app on my phone? I had better internet service 10 years ago with my razr flip phone than I do right now and that thing is eons less advanced than my current “network”

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Chicago, Illinois (26)IV (@WestSideBoi4) reported fromChicago, Illinois

    Is @VZWSupport @Verizon customer service only automated systems? Does VERIZON not employ HUMAN BEINGS to work in call centers?

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Chicago, Illinois (31)paul stevenson (@paulste54675094) reported fromBurbank, Illinois

    @MsMediaT @VerizonSupport Wait you pay for a fiber optic 1gb internet service? As believe me, I know the pain of the customer service as xfinity and Verizon are both owned by Comcast and essentially the same company. They have been rated as the worst service almost every year.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Chicago, Illinois (32)ktkat (@bpsoxgal) reported fromChicago, Illinois

    @Verizon How about some customer service on a Sunday?

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Chicago, Illinois (33)Timothy King (@wassilywabbit) reported fromChicago, Illinois

    .@VZWSupport Why is the website so useless for getting support? Every time I try to start a chat, I’m told to sign in (I’m already signed in in another tab), but as soon as I sign in, the chat disappears. If I try to contact support, I’m told I’m not authorized. Infuriating

    @MsMediaT @VerizonSupport Verizon wireless is xfinity which is my internet service and I finally got my issue resolved by filing a complaint with the FTC. I can promise you that you will be taken care of as the FTC does not play games with these companies eating all our money away.

  • Verizon Wireless Outage in Chicago, Illinois (40)NCabarle (@ncabarle3083) reported fromCicero, Illinois

    @VZWSupport What exactly is the purpose of being charge for upgrade fee? You are selling a service to your customers and offering them to a newer device and yet everytime we do that we get slapped with an upgrade fee?
