Most often it's about who you talk to. We had a problem with a low cable over a driveway that AT&T trouble desk did nothing about for a long time. Next time we called the phone number that appears on some of their pedestals and turns out to be some kind of outside plant oriented help desk and they had someone on site in about an hour. Another tactic is sometimes to intercept a local tech in the area and tell them about it.

The garbage bags have been on that pole for at least 6+ months.
What will end up happening is what happens every time something like this happens. We call in trouble tickets for months until we can get the issue labeled chronic, then we get a "Class 1 inspection", then they fix it. One issue is that to get it labeled chronic there needs to be three tickets opened within a month. VZ's temp fix often works long enough that we can't get enough tickets in within a month.
