My Experience Switched from Cox Internet to Verizon Fios.

We have lived in this apartment about 8 months. The whole time we have been with Cox Communications for internet service. We were paying to have the 300/300mbps. However most days out of the week that was NOT the case at all.

It actually became a bet what days we would have it and what day we wouldn't. Repeated calls, techs replacing the modem etc and still no change. If it wasn't an outage on their end, the service was going in and out on our end.

So, finally, we decided to check out Fios. Checked was told our are had it and began the process.

Verizon has online 2 options when you sign up. One for a self install that is made to seem plug and go, and one where a technician comes in and does it for you. Of course being a tech savvy person I'm like I can do this on my own. Technician who?

Place the order, get the equipment 2 days sooner than stated, that was a plus, but then the trouble began.

The box the modem comes in doesn't come exactly with the correct instructions for Fios. As the pictures depict plugging in through a co-axle like you would with a Cox communications modem. Which is exactly what I did. Modem turns on, lights start coming on, and then boom! No internet!

I find a paper about going to the activate service line, use it and it tells me a ONT Box is not activated to please call customer service. Which is where the fun really starts.

2 hour call back time. And I'm on a time limit. We home school and a lot of work relies on having working internet. The first technician helps me locate a box and tells me to plug and ethernet cable, from said box to modem. But as I look there is no where to plug anything but an extra AC Adapter into it. I'm then told to locate the box outside to see if its there. Told the problem is not having an Ethernet line going into the house. I explain to the CS Agent that I cannot wait a week for a tech, meaning I would need it done quick. And I am told the only other option to get it running quicker is to downgrade my service to 300/300mbps which is what I left Cox communications being at.

I'm a bit confused but go along and get transferred over to a sales rep. Who has a brief convo with the service tech and then begins speaking to me. As she is looking to see what speeds they can offer, I'm told the 300/300mbps package stand alone would be over 200$ a month. BUT "if" I pair it with TV it can be $143.

At this point I'm getting very frustrated. I signed up on the Gigabit for $89.99 a month and something 700mbps slower is over double that. So with my frustration, I ask to escalate the call to a higher or different department. Was told it would be a while. Around 2 hours later I get a call, and this woman talks with me about the issues and sends me straight back to tech support.

Luckily this tech support listens and is like well why downgrade, it wont take a week, I can have a technician out tomorrow. Okay, sure the earlier the better so we can get school underway.

Next day rolls around and the technician arrives, looks out at the outside box and sees the Ethernet line. We follow it around and go inside and follow it more. And find it. On a baseboard behind a table. There the whole time.

So far we have had 1 outage already with Verizon with service only for a week. Speeds are still way better than Cox Communications though. However I think Verizon should really look into a step by step check off to complete to be able to choose self install. That way no one else has to go through the frustrating process we did.

Silencing Freedom of Speech? Or Just Random Targets? Will Facebook Ever Answer?

Yesterday on Facebook all seemed normal. Got up check some post. Shared some music from Apple Music, couple news links I seen, of course a few memes, and then a link. I shared the link to the trailer of the movie "The Creepy Line." (The Creepy Line Trailer) Closed the app and took a nap and awoke to a friend asking me if I had blocked them on Facebook in text message. Now usually when this happens it means a meme I posted was deemed offensive and I'll be spending sometime in Facebook Jail. However, this time, that was not the case.

This time, upon logging in I was greeted with a notice that said "We have detected suspicious activity on your account. Please submit a photo we will review and then delete after verifying its you." It also said along the lines of didn't even have to be a recent picture of me. So I chose a photo I had just recently shared of myself on Facebook. To which I was then greeted with this lovely message here....

The oddest thing about it all is, now its like my profile never existed. Every comment gone, cannot search my account. Yet when I try to contact the headless Facebook support center for a disabled account it says my account is not disabled.

Also while all of this is going on I am still getting emails, or changes to groups I am in, jobs posted on Facebook etc.

I went searching my problem into the dreaded google ( as I blog on a google site) and found that this has happened to a ton of people over the years. Usually for using a bogus page or only using it for business.

Thing is it was my real name, I have had this profile almost 10 years. I don't run a business on there. Im just a nobody facebook user who happens to enjoy sweepstakes, social product reviews, memes and music, with a little news here and there of course.

That profile had 4500 people and almost a 1k followers. Not a high number for say a celebrity but I felt like I was doing something. Now I am left wondering did I violate something unknowingly? Is it to shut me up because of the video link? Was it random?

It seems unfair to take 10 years of photos, videos and memories from me without a chance to get them off the site first. Even more so with no one to contact or no clear way to find it if there is.

I can't even log out on the facebook app on my phone, it stays on "confirm your identity: cant connect"
