I have FIOS and at the time had the ultimate package, all the pay channels, 500 megabits up and down internet and the quantum DVR package which included thousands of hours of storage time. Whole plan cost me about $451 per month. Like you after a while I thought this was a bit whacky and with my new televisions and good set top boxes I was going to cut the cord. So, I call Verizon, tell them the drill and the rep tells me that I really don’t want to do that and let me see what I can do. She came back about 5 minutes later and offered me twice the speed so I have full gigabit in both directions, the same TV package and all the same services and she dropped to $231. So it’s worth a 20 minute call. So many people are doing this they are offering aggressive retention deals. Good luck. > On Aug 22, 2017, at 12:25 PM, Sarai Bucciarelli <sarai.bucciare...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Awesome! If I ever need a new TV, will have to check them out.
