ispgeek Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 A local resident here was shocked to find out that Verizon would splice the fiber that his wife cut accidently while in the garden.....what he didn't expect was the $595.00 bill that came with it! Cough...Cough...um....we have people cutting our cables on a daily basis...we don't charge them a dime to repair them.....anybody see anything wrong with this picture?

tommie gorman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yeah, FIOS is not making as much money But honestly the fibre probably does cost more to fix, but probably not that much.

ddeviltlc Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 i would be happy if they get the billing right so far 3 months have been wrong. I would drop FIOS but the old phone wires have been cut. Guess I will have to wait till this billing and hope. I see your point makes you wonder what they do with all the cash. ddeviltlc Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16276-got-fios-better-hope-you-dont-cut-your-fiber-to-the-house/#findComment-183357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll even throw in my satelite connection. 500/50. No charge.

tommie gorman Posted November 7, 2006 CID Share Posted November 7, 2006 Okay Okay....I tripple posted once...but I didn't inhale!!! And Monica did not swallow. It sounds like FIOS is deserving of profits if they can provide faster speeds and such, at such prices. Just wish someone would provide something better to folks who live a little farther out, besides satelite, or over priced stuff like T-1. The farmers of america deserve to have it for their kids also. (of course I want it too. ) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16276-got-fios-better-hope-you-dont-cut-your-fiber-to-the-house/#findComment-183489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted November 8, 2006 CID Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well I could not let a triple get away. Those are rare rascals. Seldom seen in the light of day. And worth a 100 test my bucks reward. lol... thats alot of money to be fixing a wire like that I would guess that is where they actually get their profit. You know like a bank makes a little on the interest, but they clean up on bounced checks and such. $$$. I would be learning how to fix it for sure.

tommie gorman Posted November 8, 2006 CID Share Posted November 8, 2006 You'll figure out the forum. I only had one window open, on a satelite 500/50 connection, with a mediocre comp. And no double post. Anyway, I sure would like to try out a FIOS connection sometime. But it is not scheduled for MO at anytime soon.
