They always do this, then direct you to go online for more information. How are we supposed to go online if the internet is down?

I have a box of old hammers with more intelligence than this.

Also the message was sent more than six hours after the net went down. It had been back on for two hours when we received the email. Let's hire that box of hammers to handle VZW communications about Internet outages.

How about the second dumbest message we all get from Delmarva Power for power outages? We're supposed to go online to see the outage map when the power is out as well!

Let's just face it...Verizon is not the sharpest tool in the shed!

Verizon obviously lacks common sense. They do similar stupid things if you try to report a land line problem.

Delmarva Power expects everyone to be connected via cell phone, I guess. I don't use my phone for the internet, so will have to check my laptop quickly before the battery dies.
