Got the advert for upgrade to 50/25 for $10 a month more, by the time I got done on the phone with them and updating the long overdue contract I am paying the same and still got the upgrade to 50/25.
Regular speed tests have always been in the 60/30 range testing to both coasts..!!

They did try to get me to switch to FIOS tv but I have been a Dish customer for many many years ( customer #0007) and though Verizon does have a great tv product they still can't beat the deal i get for sat tv.

Oh the new Gigabit routers are out but they are a bit hard to come by and the tech support I was on the phone with said the only way to get one is to pay the $90 for it.
Or........
Find the Verizon tech that lives down the road and see if they can get you one..!!

Wait what are you paying 99$ for? just 50/25?

Re: too high or what?

That's for the 50/25 and FIOS voice..!!
Just wondering where you are and if you have voice on your contract too..??

the quote they gave me for the package with tv was for 2 room DVR and HD for around $150.00

Gigabit router

I called tech support and complained of low speeds on my new 50/25 service (which is actually more like 60/40). My speed tests only showed 32/28 (same as my original package of 25/25). They ended up just sending me the gen3 router (Rev. I) overnight, which is the gigabit one with the N wireless (red).

The wireless on it is REALLY high performing...more than you would expect from telecom equipment. It matches the throughput on my E3000 router running DDWRT on the 2.4 ghz N band (around 57 mbps on a different floor).

I signed a contract (finally had to lose copper...sign). I am paying $85 a month for 50/25, digital voice, and Extreme HD with HBO and Showtime included. I have a corporate discount of $10 so its actually $75 a month.
