Ed, I live in Ewing, and I have a problem with Verizon. We have real old wires outside, and I cannot receive any incoming phone calls. I’ve been calling Verizon since January and they’ve sent a few technicians, who told me the problem is outside my house. Due to safety reasons, the technicians are not able to climb the poles to make repairs. Verizon promised to call me back but didn’t. I’m sure I’m not the only person in this area with this problem.

Consider it a blessing. Most calls are just someone who wants something from you.—Ed. Note
