I keep getting calls from Cablevision trying to get me to switch back and leave verizon. They are offering to buy me out of the contract with Verizon, the triple play, gold package (all the premiums), and dvr for $125 locked in for 2 years.

Does anyone have experience trying to leave Verizon and see if they will match or beat the price. I really like fios better but cant justify paying $60 more a month for it.

I've never heard of anyone getting a better price than what they already have. I honestly don't even know if they have a "retention" dept at all.

verizon has a elite disconnect group.

totally incompetent, reps have little ability to do anything. faced with my solid complaints they stand firmly behind company policy.

I am perfectly happy with Verizon servce price and outstanding Picture quality. I also like their totally unencrypted channels.

Agreed...add me to the millions of other perfectly satisfied FiOS customers. The only problem area seems to be in Bob's neck-of-the-woods in PA.

I am very satisfied with Fios and would prefer to keep it, I just dont know if it is really worth the extra $60 a month over cable

Hey Dude,just be happy you have a choice!I'm stuck with the only choice I have which is Northland Cable.Their 2-99 channels is worse than OTA and they said that's the best it gets.They are 15$ to 20$ higher than all the other cable companies on every service they offer.The only reason I stick with them for now is BB and the 768/256 is 40$ even with their triple play.For 120$ a month I get 55 analog(I mean analog) channels,phone service that breaks up if you are online,768/25 BB speed.I just wish I had choices to complain about!Sorry about my ranting,anyway "Happy Thanksgiving." overtimeman

FIOS internet is rock solid, fios tv appears ok but lacks skip for easy commercial avoidance.

fios phone must be fine as long as it works, but have any tech trouble and you are screwed. even though tech one put in records he duplicated problem with house completely disconnected, every phone tech said it must be your interior home wiring.

yeah i hate verizon fios phone, after having trouble for 2 months calling EVERY DAY FOR 3 WEEKS, having to esclate it to the presidents office twice to finally get a network tech to fix it in 10 minutes. bad noisey router just like tech one reported on his first visit.........

verizon fios sucks......... incompetent tech support
