I'm just going to leave this hereblocks2

I have Verizon fios on my pc, so I'm not affected but I'll call them up and threaten to cancel over this.

Doesn't matter. ISP's can't pick and choose what sites to allow their subscribers to access.

If this is what's happening.

Anything else you can help me out with ask the Verizon guy?

Stop censoring you bastard

Verizon exec: "Gee, today I think we're gonna aggrevate the most insane bunch of tech savvy loonies on the web! Everything is going way to smooth around here!"

That's it.

>>7424457
Won't do shit. It's an CEO person thingy. You need to get tech support and make them create a ticket complain. Eventually Verizon will have 100000s of these and comply, or at least Moot and everyone is hoping for that

>>7424466
I don't have verizon wireless just verizon fios. I'm being transferred between departments exactly because this complaint ticket thing.

we'll see.

>>7424480
Ah, so you just want them to get the message from people who use their non-mobile services?

>>7424493
Yes. Even if it goes nowhere, more people who pay them monies complaining can't hurt.

On June 2, 2007, Kelsey Smith, a teenager from Overland Park, Kansas, was abducted in a Target parking lot behind the Oak Park Mall. She was murdered later that night, and immediately after an abandoned car was found, a search began for her. Local law enforcement involved in the investigation contacted Verizon Wireless, the family's cell phone provider at the time of the murder, for records to pinpoint a search location for her. Despite efforts made by the local investigators and eventually the FBI, it took Verizon three days to hand over cell phone records to law enforcement. A Verizon technician pinpointed a cell phone tower and told investigators to search 1.1 miles north of the tower. Within 45 minutes, the body of Kelsey Smith was found. There is much controversy on why it took Verizon so long to cooperate with law enforcement.

Their webmail sucks ass as well.

I'm actually canceling my cell phone service with Verizon over this. Fuck them.

Can we bring this to the courts, or is trolling the more fun?

goddamnit verizon, why do you have to make me hate you and you give me great phone service.

I just sent them an email as a non-customer via

https://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/contact/email.jsp

I let them know (in a professional manner) how fucked they are as far as I am concerned. I can probably take a few accounts every year from them. If they get enough emails, they might start to get seriously worried about future business as well as customers jumping ship.

BTW, if you are a current customer canceling, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY THE CANCELLATION FEE. They are not providing the service that was originally set up. If they keep stonewalling you on the fee, start threatening to sue and escalate the call as high as possible. They will eventually break although it might take a loooooong time on the phone.

Pretty much proof that when something threatens our beehive, we just swarm over the threat.

>>7425061

Armyfag again

Not even threatening our beehive, necessarily...I pay for Verizon Wireless because they provide communications services of a quality and reliability better than the competition, in my area.

However, if I have to start worrying about what information I can transmit and receive on their communications network, I will take my business elsewhere.

To me, this is akin to them *BEEP*ing out swear words in my phone conversations, or automatically detecting and disconnecting phone sex phone calls.

This is fucking absurd, and I won't stand for it.

any robots had success contacting customer support about this? or, more specifically, success in getting an explanation?

>>7427000
I'm half with you there, but the scientology faggotry with IRL "raids" and GF masks turned me away from legion crap.

Besides, I have rogers. They still fuck me over, but not like that.

Did you guys post this on /b/ yet?

I worked as a Verizon wireless customer service rep for a few months last year. It was the worst job ever, and I'm just saying this because I feel for the people on the phones, but don't be dicks to them. They cannot control what the company does. Most of them probably don't know what 4chan is, and I would assume that a lot of them don't know that it's been blocked. Escalating the call will likely get you no where, because if you are rude I can guarantee you that they will be less likely to help you.

A lot of VZW's customer service reps don't even work directly for Verizon, they work for a 3rd party company that specializes in call centers.

The best thing to do would be to contact the technical service department. The easiest way to get through to them is to choose the option on your phone that you are having trouble with a blackberry/data device. Customer service reps are trained in the basic troubleshooting of non-data phones, so if you say that you're having trouble making calls, etc, it's going to go to them and then you're going to have to convince them that you need a tech person.

I was never able to create a problem ticket as a csr. I always had to transfer to tech to create a trouble ticket to get an issue fixed. I could create a local ticket that would pop back up for me to force me to check to see if an individual problem was fixed or not, but I couldn't do one for a widespread thing.

I'm sorry but due to the lack of anons directly affected this will not get the attention and ACTION it deserves.

>>7427096
Ugh, sorry for the wall of text.

Seriously, talk to tech. Or if you can't get through to tech, waste the csr's time. Tell them that you need to talk to tech because of an issue on the phone, and that you want them to stay on the line with you. They have to, if they disconnect they can get fired. Tell them you don't want to be dropped in the queue and ask them to stay on the line when you get a tech person. You'll be effectively wasting more of VZW's time and money that could be spent helping other customers.

And please note - unless they have enough legitimate complaints, they're not going to change it back.

Just received this email:

Dear *******,

My name is ****** and I would like to thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless. We are apologize for any trouble you have learned of with accessing the address for "boards.4chan.org". Although we do not block any websites or their content, our research has determined that the address in question can be accessed from the browser of our PDA/Smart Phones but cannot be accessed through our Broadband network for our PC cards and USB modems. This matter is in review but unfortunately does not have an estimated time until it is resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patients while investigate this matter further.

******, my goal is to provide you the best resolution possible within the abilities of Verizon Wireless. I hope that I have been able to do that for you today by confirming that we are working on restoring connections to 4chan.org. Again, my name is ******; we thank you for using Verizon Wireless and appreciate your business. Please reply to this e-mail should you feel your concerns are not resolved or if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,

*******
Verizon Wireless

>>7427294
>we do not block any websites or their content

I don't believe this guy. If he wasn't lying why did he remove his name from the email?

>>7427337
Hence why I don't work there anymore. I didn't appreciate being yelled at for 10 minutes because I don't have the ability to download a ringtone on some woman's phone, and I definitely didn't appreciate not being able to tell people how retarded they are.

I'm just saying that you are going to get a hell of a lot farther if you are polite and respectful to the people you're talking to.

And if you talk to the tech department. Like I said (and unless they changed this recently) CSRs cannot create trouble tickets for widespread issues. Tech support can.

call center fag here. the only way to really effect a biz like verizon is though there cost or profit. 1) keep calling durring peak hrs to affect there ASA (average service to ans.) more call the more they need to spend on people ans calls. 2) cancel service

>>7427419
To add to this, cancel service and threaten to tell everyone you know that they should also cancel their service.

VZW scores their customers 3 ways: are they promoters, neutral, or detractors. They want promoters - people who will actively say how great their service is and recommend it to other people. Neutrals are what most people are (I think they had another word for it but I can't remember). Detractors are what they don't want - people that will actively tell others not to get their service. So say that you're going to tell everyone you know that Verizon sucks, and that will start having an impact.

>>7427394
i removed his name before posting it. i don't really believe the guy either, but it seems to indicate that the block will be gone sometime in the near future.
