I axed Verizon today
what deposit? was there any deposit?
we have this verizon thing too, works well, or rather COULD work ok since we have problems with electricity. but when there is luz - there's internet. we even have this wireless box, that still has to be wired (hmmm...), got it from the neighbour, who had the box, but no phone/internet and now he can use our network connection so from time to time we bump into him sitting on the stairs outside with his laptop.
seriously, there is a deposit?

ok, one amazing thing: you can pay verizon bill on the telephone. you can change your phone/internet plan on the telephone.
try to do it in poland - NO WAY!
quite civilized, all this thing. of course the internet system in DR is largely powered by the hope of the users but that's ok, as long as it works.
before i moved here my friends kept on asking me: is there internet there? does it work? do they have computers?
LOL

Wonder how
I wonder how this idea will affect Codetel, an Carlos Slim the new owner, as he also purchased the portion of CANTV that was owned by Verizon.
Its interesting due to the fact that the Government owns 51% of CANTV now. So in fact its already a national company.

There's more here than meets the eye. Chavez' announcement to nationalize or place under state control both CANTV (Verizon) and Electricidad de Caracas (AES), seems like part of a wider plan to place stricter controls on foreign currency exchange rate and capital flight, since the announcement was accompanied by a proposal to change the constitution in order to eliminate the autonomous status of the Central Bank. Currently, the government measures to control the foreign currency exchange ate are being thwarted by the loophole of massive trading on the above mentioned companies' stocks in the NYSE...
Since I was the one that first told you about your problem before you had one I will now update you based on what is happening.
I guarantee you that you will keep getting billed for both internet and phone line for the next few months, whether they are on or not. Ribs for four at Rocky's says I am right. OK???
Update...we have had several discussions with Verizon. We still have phone service. They insist we are no longer responsible for the line but have yet to give us our deposit back which has went from 2000RD to 900RD in a month. They now say that in 10 to 15 more days they will receive a check from Santo Domingo for 900RD and we can come and pick it up. Of course we will have to go and stand in line again for the fifth time. I now do not expect to receive any deposit back and can see them possibly continuing to bill me. I have given up. You simply cannot fight a behemoth who is unreasonable. I will never ever do business of any sort with Verizon and I will recommend against it...here and in the USA.
Shortly after making this post, they axed me for 24 hours.:tired: Karma.I hope you get your deposit, but if they keep on billing you and you don't pay, what can they do? Disconnect your phone?
