• Annie Gordon (@annie3138) reported 29 seconds agofromSouth Gate, Maryland

  @Prof_Richardson @verizonfios Check to see if you have a local company to sign up. They’re requiring new ONT devices to be installed even if the old ones were functioning fine. Refusing to reconnect the hardware to the network, even if it leaves customers with no service.

• Annie Gordon (@annie3138) reported 59 seconds agofromSouth Gate, Maryland

  @verizonfios I’m trying to get connected at a house that already has equipment AND is good for what I ordered, 100 mbps. Rep I spoke with on the phone said I should be able to do a self install. But system is requiring tech. HELP!

• GamerDMV (@GamerDmv) reported 3 minutes agofromFort Meade, Maryland

  Power outage in the area folks..... looks like a 9pm restoration time.... no internet till 10pm according to @verizonfios .... my apologies.. what a nightmare!!! #twitchstreamer #gamer #letsgetupandrunning #quick

  Thank you @Verizon @verizonfios for reaching out and getting my speeds waaaaaaaay faster. That is how you treat a loyal customer.

• Annie Gordon (@annie3138) reported 18 minutes agofromSouth Gate, Maryland

  @verizonfios Must to switch service to our new residence in May. Got a 🙁 from the rep when I told her I need internet to work when trying to get assistance about the December 1st, 2020, activation date.

• Kevin C. Miller, MPA (@millerkevinc) reported 19 minutes agofromScaggsville, Maryland

  .@Xfinity is the absolute worst! Transferred service to my old roommate before leaving California and now they are double billing that address. I’m so glad I didn’t sign up for them out here in Maryland and went with @verizonfios so I don’t have to deal with them anymore.

• GamerDMV (@GamerDmv) reported 21 minutes agofromFort Meade, Maryland

  @VerizonSupport Yes I need help as the system is not working yet... no internet/cable service from the new router either @VerizonSupport @verizonfios

• inQuisitive (@AliCaesar102) reported 23 minutes agofromEllicott City, Maryland

  @VerizonSupport unresponsive after DM: trying to fix a FIOS remote control with TV on the blink 24hrs+ : let’s get with it OK?

• inQuisitive (@AliCaesar102) reported 24 minutes agofromEllicott City, Maryland

  @verizonfios @SamsungSupport Frustrated user of your services : TV on the blink for days : why can’t you guys figure a way for interoperability? No service , remotes can’t make the TV turn on & manual intervention doesn’t help at all. #SamsungSmartTVs are no good

• Sean (@Sean_L_Brooks) reported 26 minutes agofromRandallstown, Maryland

  @VerizonSupport Ok now one hour I have waited. @VerizonSupport @verizonfios #terrible I mean there are ppl in the US looking for work. Why not hire some Americans!!!!!

• Annie Gordon (@annie3138) reported 33 minutes agofromSouth Gate, Maryland

  @verizonfios I went with a different provider. Verizon refuses to connect older viable ONT equipment, even if it is able to handle the service request. I asked why. No response.

• GamerDMV (@GamerDmv) reported 33 minutes agofromFort Meade, Maryland

  Hi all, apologies in advance but crunch time is coming fast and @verizonfios still hasn’t got their **** together. going on 15hrs since trouble was reported and no TV or internet 🤬🤬🤬 hopefully it comes back before 7pm est but honestly don’t know how stable it’ll be. #fixitsoon

• The Nature Boi (@hard2xplain) reported 35 minutes agofromSouth Laurel, Maryland

  @collegeappspec @comcastcares @Xfinity Never fails, Internet spotty and dropping frequently. @verizonfios @VerizonSupport Please reach out and let me know how to switch

• Nick Schiner 🎮 Staycation (@ObiWanNICKobi) reported 37 minutes agofromPikesville, Maryland

  @MsGianas @jimohagan I have never gotten good speeds on service provided routers. I have a Fios box that covers the signal and then my own router.

• Jenny McMeekin (@JennyJYoYoung) reported 38 minutes agofromOdenton Heights, Maryland

  Remember when @VerizonSupport laid their fios lines directly through my sewage pipe, causing a backup in my new house (in the middle of a pandemic lock-down) and then did absolutely nothing to make it right? Good times. @Verizon @verizonfios

• Lord Toxiferous Loves Toxic Twat (@GnarlsDarkley) reported 43 minutes agofromRandallstown, Maryland

  I see Comcast customers having landline issues ... Fios woulda never

• adriana 🌸 (@adrianacasaus) reported 47 minutes agofromOdenton Heights, Maryland

  to all college students: if ur a verizon customer (fios and/or cell service) chegg is offering a free study plus membership for 60 days!!

• perlman (@perlman) reported 50 minutes agofromHarwood Park, Maryland

  @jedweeks @comcastcares Yes, this is the same Baltimore office that has failed us (where’s our FIOS or municipal service as you stated?) but they do minimal lip service by making Comcast respond when notified. I suggest including the time & dates of all calls in your letter as well.

• What on Flat Earth (@lizrox515) reported 59 minutes agofromSavage-Guilford, Maryland

  @masnHelpDesk @Janehench @masnOrioles I'm having the same issue...Howard County, md and fios...the guide says O's, but it's some weightlifting competition...

• RG (@RG25476667) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Verizon No customer service on the bill; link to wireless bill takes me to fios page where I can't access wireless acct. No way to access wireless acct. Doesn't recognize my acct # but can't make new acct bcos already have acct. Would you like to be paid or not?

• John Stritzinger (@doublesnow33) reported 4 minutes ago

  And the FIOS/CBT model for video doesnt work when the competition has been on hybrid fiber for 25 yrs and already paid for their investment.... VZ and ATT have to come to grips with buying unbundled elements from their competitors in some cases... because CMCSA has a lot of glass

• An Honest Con Man (@AnHonest_ConMan) reported 7 minutes ago

  @VerizonBusiness You're a billion dollar company and the Fios website may be the worst site ever. Many links do not work when clicked. It's terrible. Also why is customer service so terrible? Getting a human is nearly impossible.

• Angelica Martinez (@angmartinez2014) reported 9 minutes ago

  @VerizonSupport We received a $100 gift card with our Fios service and placed an order for an Apple HomePod Mini, which never came. It was attempted to be delivered, then shipped back to the return center, and we’ve received no correspondence about a refund or replacement
