Verizon has come up with a number of great incentive offers starting with an HD tv about a year ago. The problem with these offers is that for many of us there is no way to qualify.

My community was visited by a Verizon subcontractor two months ago when underground conduit was placed throughout the neighborhood. For the past three weeks Verizon trucks have been on the highway next to the community working on the fiber runs. But if I go to the Verizon web site I learn that I cannot subsubscribe since FIOS is NOT AVAILABLE in my community.

In the meantime I watch Verizon make all these great incentive offers that can only be claimed by others.

This is known as frustration.

How about other folks. Do you think Verizon should be able to make these offers to persons who cannot qualify or will not qualify until after the offer expires?

It took them about 4 months after laying fiber in my neighborhood to actually offer the internet service to us. Then after 3 more months when they got their TV franchise straightened out, they offered FIOS TV.
