We finally dropped Verizon entirely after one of their telecrooks tried to trick my 78-year-old mother into getting Fios, which we have repeatedly refused in favor of keeping our copper lines, which work nicely during an electrical outage.
The sleazeball called my mom and told her they needed access to the house because they were upgrading the phone lines, and they scheduled a time. Later, she got suspicious and called back to find that YES, THEY WERE COMING TO INSTALL FIOS. She said she didn't want it, and they promised to send her a letter saying what they were going to do before proceeding. Well, we switched her over to Cox Telephone, because if we were going to lose our copper, there was no way we were sticking with the Verizon minions of evil. It took a while, because first, we had to clear the fraudulent work order they had entered. Having done that, after years of two copper lines to the house, we no longer have Verizon for anything.
If they dare show up on my porch again, I will call the police.
