My favorite thing about Verizon is their "packages."  So, I wanted 
call-blocking.  they were happy to sell it to me.  Well, it doesn't work.  I 
call and get this long speech about how I'm doing it wrong.  I ask to speak 
to a supervisor.  Oh, Mr. On High says.  Those parts of the package won't 
work in your area.  O.K., then how about if you only charge me for the 
things that work.  Oh, says Mr. Snoot, you are saving money by getting the 
package, so we can't charge you for only the one part that works.  I said, 
no, it would cost less if you only charge me for the one thing that will 
work.  To which he replies, you don't understand.  We have package prices 
because that way it costs less.  Well, I tell me, then cancel the whole 
thing.  And, are you sitting down?  to which he says . . . why?

And that is the most intelligent person I've spoken to since we moved into 
Verizon HELL!

I hate Versizon!
