Verizon Pushing Too Hard For FIOS?
Filed in archive home office tools by Sue Walsh on August 08, 2008

At first I was shocked and figured he was feeling disgruntled (as of this posting some 65000 Verizon workers have set a strike deadline-one of their issues is the fact Verizon is contracting out FIOS jobs rather than giving them to their techs) just but in thinking about it, it makes sense. I've been bombarded with pitches for FIOS for months. Postcards, flyers and sales pitches show up in my mailbox on a weekly basis. They call me constantly, and just a week or so ago someone actually knocked on my door and tried to sell FIOS to me. Hard. He even came back the next day and tried again! Completely ridiculous. I've never felt so harassed by a company before.
I'm sure FIOS is nice, but I'm just not interested! I think I know the reason why they are pitching it to the point of harassment. The compensation of the CEO is directly tied to the FIOS rollover. In other words, the more area Verizon is able to cover with FIOS service and the more people they get to sign up/switch to it, the more money the CEO gets. Nice huh?
Needless to say I will be switching to Roadrunner service as soon as my DSL contract with Verizon runs out. Internet access is not a luxury for me, it is crucial for my business.
Have you had similar experiences with Verizon? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
