You said you have the information for the fios remote?  Could you send it to me?  I never was told what all the buttons were.  Pam.

First, don't waste your time talking to anyone.

Next, if you find a bug or something that could use improvement document

it then send email.  If you found a bug, put steps in the email showing

how to reproduce that bug.  For email addresses, feedback or support at

the particular company's email addresses can be useful.

If at all possible avoid filling out web forms those web pages are a mess!

At one time comcast at least had a person working on screen reader

accessibility (voice guideance) but with the pandemic who can say if

they're alive.

Verizon fios really has worse problems than comcast.  At least with

comcast you can get a brailled channel line up if you request it.  No

accessible instructions for using the remotes exist for comcast or

verizon.  I got help and managed to write a file with accessible info on

the verizon fios remote some time ago.  That needed sighted assistance and

that included how to turn on and off text to speech support.

Not sure if the community may know the contact person who was responsible for the development of the voice guidance screen reader and could talk to this person or group about improving it?
