Look who has FIOS now!!!

[[FETT]Cupcake]

Oh yeah, just thought I would share the excitement with everyone here. Look who has FIOS now... It would be me.



I have the 15 down 2 up plan. I have the option of going to 30 down 5 up for 6 bucks more, but I wouldn't get the same deal on TV or phone that I have.

All I have to say is woohoo!

Nice. I wish I had the option of 30/5 from FIOS. Unfortunately they only offer the inexpensive 20/5 (cable company offers 30/5 for same price), and the extremely expensive 50/10 coming in at $130.

Hmmm, it looks like they changed their packages. I've had the 20/5 service for almost a year @ 39.95. Wonder if they're going to change it on me after the year's up?

Impressive girth, congrats!!

Me too, Klep and the 20/5 has been just fine for me and my needs.

Though did you have to deal with the pain in the a** billing issues. For the first three months of having the internet/phone/TV I was getting bills for 300 bucks.. They kept telling me to only pay the 130, but it was still annoying..

Oh an Klep,

Welcome to the light!

True quam!

[KlepMod]

Love that commercial.

No billing problems here but I'm only using the internet. How has the TV been for you? I'm thinking of switching before the NFL season starts. I need my Saturday games!

Ok well a close friend is on Comcast HD and my dad is on Cablevision HD and quality wise we are about the same. I personally think I get a better feed but that may also be because I'm bias.
Based on the number of HD channels, FIOS is behind Comcast and Cablevision buy about 4 channels.

But both my friend and my Dad complain that the HD channels I have are more "quality", Discover HD, Wealth HD, etc. So they feel that I have more watchable HD channels then they do.

And so far I haven't had any disruption.

Oh and preseason NFL on HD is out friggin standing!

he he

In the tv department fios was a no-brainer. With Comcast cable in my area we only had 8 HD channels. Pretty crappy.

With Fios I now have 30, and it will be more when I upgrade to get movie channels.

Isn't FIOS insanely expensive? I checked the 30/5 plan to replace my cable, just for laughs, and stopped laughing when I saw it was 3x more expensive. That was several months ago, so maybe it got better... But I doubt they could cut $100 off.

[Digger[NJLP]]

20/5 with the package TV/Internet/Phone 99.99. After the sales bonus comes off (1 Year) it should be about 150 to 160 for TV/Internet/Phone.

30/5 by itself is expensive...

[~*77*~]

Yeah - I checked again... Like $170 for 30/5. My Optimum Online 30/5 is $55/month. No competition there.

But, they get my money anyway... Cable portion is $$50 and then the phone portion is $15. With taxes and fees they rip me for $130ish every month.

[Murdock]

You're lucky...they are getting me for close to $200 for the HD-DVR box.

Well after getting settled in, FiOS was not avaiable and I am a cablevision customer getting the "triple-play" although my install was delayed by 5 days due to my landloard they called to confirm his disconnection and he told cablevision he wasn't leaving, so cablevision cancled my appointment, I called them and they said five days, needless to say I was pissed off....

so I am on the 15/2 until the special wears off....it is faster than the 8/784 service I had in Ca through Comcast....

[Digger[NJLP]]

Ok well check this out!

Fios service is now offering a full size 20 Mbit pipe 20 up and 20 down for 65 a month.

Can you say site hosting home business?

I upgraded to the 20/20 (running Optimum for Business as well), and man, it is pretty fast upload, although I am finding that the 20/20 is really rather useless, because you need to run 3 game servers in order to use it.
