    Verizon is slipping

    Verizons CS has been slipping for a few year, now I've about had it.

    My Verizon christmas rant.

    Can I just say I hate Verizon without sounding like I'm complaining. Their customer service people are clueless to Verizon promotions, they do not have the same training and Verizon does not give them the tools they need to keep their customers happy. That being said, Verizon's website is worse...
