RE: Verizon
Had great cell service with Verizon last eight years. Now terrible. Talked
me into upgrading phone before I was ready. Have spent significant time
with customer service all with different advice. And of course, a useless
signal booster.
Sprint was great for several years, before it wasn't (and I switched to
Verizon).
I have a complaint against Verizon filed with AG and local consumer
protection office. Will be filing complaint with the Department of
Telecommunications and Cable. Would be very happy to have folks do same.
