Sure! Found this today from Verizon, itself:

Verizon is now providing its customers with peace of mind in the form of
new Expert Care service plans that offer 24 x 7 in-depth technical support
for computer software and hardware problems, as well as repair or
replacement coverage for computers, TVs and telephone equipment.

"Because customers trust us for their home entertainment and communications
needs, they also want us to help them resolve problems with the growing
number of sophisticated consumer electronics devices throughout their
homes," said Peter Castleton, executive director of Verizon corporate
marketing. "We developed Expert Care to give customers the kind of support
they need to keep their digital home networks humming."


How much do you think it will cost to get Verizon to fix a 52" Sony DTV,
knowing what VZW wants for cellphone accessories?

too funny.

You are in good hands with Verizon.

Verizon Exposes the Wrong 1,200 Email Addresses
from Slashdot: IT by timothy

Netbuzz writes "If you're going to market your expertise by inviting
1,200 IT professionals to a seminar about securing data and protecting
personal information, it's probably a good idea to protect the
personal information of those you invite. On Tuesday, Verizon forgot
that advice and blasted each of the 1,200 email addresses to everyone
on the list ... and they did it 17 times."

Simply amazing....(c;

Which sellphone carrier just settled with users over a big lawsuit where
the carrier was giving the spammers the user info?...

They're all way too arrogant to give good service....
