I get these direct mail pieces from Verizon several times a week. I know...everyone hates junk mail, but here's the thing: Verizon doesn't provide FiOS TV at my address (the address they sent this piece of mail to). Furthermore, they will not offer the same deal on their non-premium [read: inferior] services.
In other words, there is no way - none whatsoever - to get TV, internet, and phone from verizon for $79.99 per month (for the first 6 months) - and yet these ads have been clogging my mailbox in the month since I moved here. When I went online to look into this deal, the first thing the website prompted me to do was to enter my address (the address printed on the other side of that piece of mail). Based upon that information, the website was able to tell me that I could not take advantage of this deal. Does Verizon not have an internet connection? Couldn't they do this themselves before wasting paper, ink, and another precious piece of my sanity?
This is unacceptable, not only from the perspective of the consumer, but for environmental reasons as well. How many thousands (millions?) of these heavy card-stock, two-page brochures are being sent to households where Verizon cannot provide this service? Get your shit together, Verizon. All you've managed to do is alienate me so that I will no longer consider FiOS...if it is ever available to me.


I actually have FiOS TV, Internet, and Phone service. For the first 8 or 9 months I would get Verizon DSL offers once or twice a week. I'm not sure why I haven't gotten one for a couple of months now.
I always saw it as a little running joke that made me chuckle when I went to the mail box. I kind of miss them a little.

" Get your shit together, Verizon. " Hahahah. hahaha. LOOOOOOL. did you just tell a incumbent telco to get its shit together?!? Thats hilarious dude, they wont, because they don't have to!! They are the only game in town (well, one of 2 games.. being cable) , so you can take them, or not take them, and they don't care either way. Railing against a pseudo-monopoly like the local phone company Verizon is like like yelling at the wind.. Don't waste your breath..

Hahaha...with the US's pro-monopoly/oligopoly regulatory environment (maybe changing, FINALLY), it may not matter if you want FIOS or not, it may end up being your only option.

Do you have a viable business but lack the necessary finances to get it off it’s feet?
Posted by: Buy_Viagra | September 17, 2010 at 07:44 PM
Have you been turned down by other lenders?

I love that they spin imoving the peak mail date so that it's all about the postal workers and not moving their merchandise up to the last minute (my best guess). And that there's a Postmaster on the committe.

If you want to buy a car, you would have to receive the loans. Moreover, my brother always utilizes a car loan, which seems to be really fast.
