What turned me off with Verizon was a door-to-door salesman selling Fios. I don't usually answer my door unless I'm expecting someone, but I happened to be outside when this guy caught me. He claimed if I showed him my last Comcast bill, he could just about guarantee that Verizon could give me a lower price. Ok, I'll bite. So I dug up my last bill, showed it to him and of course, he had this fantastic offer. So I asked him, how long is this low price good for and when it's over, what will my monthly charge be. Well, he wouldn't answer. Kept going on and on about this fantastic rate -- and did he mention the offer encompassed a "bundle" -- tv, Internet and phone. Now I had just discontinued a bundle with Comcast because it was outrageously expensive, so no way was I going to get a bundle. But this guy kept on avoiding my questions and telling me that all my neighbors had signed on with Fios. Told him I'm not a sheep and asked him to leave.
Shortly after, iI was inundated with advertising from Verizon. I suppose the company targeted anyone who rejected its "fantastic offer" since up until this guy showed up at my house, I had received very lityle junk mail from Verizon. Now I get junk mail from Verizon on a daily basis. I've tried to get the company to stop, but it just sends me more. So you couldn't pay me to sign up for anything Verizon.
