@VerizonSupport As a Black woman, I should be met with the same respect and attention as any other customer. I really wonder if some of these technicians would be speaking in the same ways if I was a white man?

Since end of December, we’ve had a total of 5 internet outages. A total of 10 technicians (2 At each visit) have come to fix the issue and none of resolved it. @VerizonSupport this is the worst service. We need a solution to this now.

@VerizonSupport Call after call reps assure me that they want me to be a happy customer. But this is terrible customer service. 10 people in total and not one person successfully fixed the issue. And many of those 10 people have been cocky and dismissive in their tone and interactions? Nope.

@VerizonSupport This is the worst experience ive ever had with a internet service provider and this has cost me hours over the past weeks. And there was no Substantial discount on this months bill. I need a manager and lead tech to resolve the issue asap @VerizonSupport @verizonfios

@MTA hi ! Any info on why the uptown 1 and 3 trains were discharged at 34 street ?

[june jordan bot @junejordanbot]

@BonaFideMasks hi there! I placed an order for masks and it says the items were delivered but no one rang the bell and the image for the delivery shows that my package is in a random building. I’m worried about whether someone may open them. You all used @OnTrac_Shipping . Help ?
