Verizon is one of the most used telecommunication services in the USA. In September 2005, they introduced Verizon Fios (Fibre Optic Service). It is a combined pack of internet, television, and telephone service. In the earlier days of Verizon Fios, it gained users exponentially. But over time, the users got the feeling that the Verizon Fios is overpriced. Many Fios users canceled their subscription and moved on to its alternatives. If you feel the same and want to cancel the Verizon Fios subscription, here is what you need to do.
Most of the telecommunication companies in the USA won’t offer cancellation online. Verizon is not an exception. You need to go through your cancellation process in an offline way.
