Well, AARP's involvement explains everything. You probably have a bunch of cranky old retirees, that are as impatient as the day is 24 hrs long. These people pick up the phone and put in a service order and expect someone at their door in an hour. I have Verizon service and have absolutely no complaints with their service. I can assure you that Verizon would not knowingly leave a senior citizen without phone service. My mother ( 82 ) has had her phone line pulled down on several occassions and Verizon was pretty darn quick to restore phone service. coastie65

It's none of Florida's business how good Verizon service is. If anyone doesn't like their service than they can go elsewhere.

Good for you.
