Re: [northeast] Just ordered my FIOS!
Just an FYI there bundled prices don't include the prices for the STB's for that you gotta add $59.99+$19.99+5.99=85.97(not including taxes) |

| With all the publicity about that posted around here, that policy will probably disappear soon. Just imagine what the rest of us peons have to say about it since we've been paying the piper for months...

Now that Verizon is trying to open the floodgates on getting installs completed, they may be turning the corner from "anything to keep the first-adopters happy" to "whatever, just get it in".
I predict you'll see increasing frequency of less-flexible installs. |

When I said "months" that was meant to include numbers like 36 as well... 
This policy may open another set of floodgates of current customers calling up, very annoyed, and demanding that they (we) get the same deal. Now, if it's just a promo offer for 6 months or a year on the free box(es) that'd be a different story but if this is a forever thing, not such a good PR move for 10^6 other, existing customers who have put up with V's administrative antics during their growing pains.
Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying my FiOS services (particularly now that everything seems reasonably stable). I haven't enjoyed dealing with hobbled CSRs or an air-headed accounting system. I have no plans of calling and biatching about this because I know it'd be like banging my head against a brick wall. But I do also KNOW that there will be thousands that will - can't wait to see what the waiting times will be to get to a phone CSR over the next couple of weeks.
