Triple play upgrade pricing

That should have been your last question for the rep.
Just go to website and see what regular prices are for each service than subtract 15 for optimum rewards discount.

From what I can tell, the rate after promo will be $221.60 at current prices, including Optimum Rewards discounts:

iO Gold: 109.95
OOL: 44.95
Boost Plus: 14.95
OV: 19.95
iO DVR: 10.95
3 boxes/remotes @ 6.95 ea: 20.85

As for your promo - you can compare it to mine, I upgraded from Family Cable with Boost Plus when my Family promo was up, and pay the following.. Also, I have no boxes - just a Tivo w/CableCard:

iO Silver (Promo): 60.95 (Normally 89.95)
CableCard (1): 2.00
OOL (Promo): 29.95 (Normally 44.95 w/Fam or Higher)
Boost Plus: 14.95
OV (Promo): 29.95 (Normally 19.95 w/an iO Package)
Total: 137.80
At the end of my promo, it will go up to 171.80

The rates are all on the website -- no reason you shouldn't be able to figure out what you will pay at the end of the promo.

Thanks

Geez - you pay too much for cable....lol
I have Fios and pay 94.99 a month. Free Showtime, TMC for 2 years + 16.99 for 1 DVR and 3 non-dvr boxes for free for life.
Probably comes to less than 120 after some small franchise fees are added in.
But I do like competition.

I have the VZ triple play, and I pay 13 and change per month in taxes. Similar to what any cable co charges

So how is it that you get Boost Plus for FREE, but I didn't?

reply to Network Guy
Do you have phone from CV ? Thats where I get the 13 and change number. I dont see it on your bill. I had TWC and thier taxes were almost the same as VZ.

Even with "fake fees and surcharges" Verizon's bottom line price is still cheaper than Cablevision.

Isn't what matters the price you pay "out the door".

For example, I pay to Verizon for Ultimate HD triple play with 50/20 Internet, Free MRDVR for life + 2 HD boxes = $144.99+0+13.98+$13.24 taxes and fees= $172.21

So even with the "BS" taxes and fees I am still almost $30 cheaper than the original poster for an equivalent setup.

Also does the IO Gold include free Video On Demand for the premium channels? Last time I checked CV charged $4.95 for the Video On Demand subscriptions to the premium channels whereas Verizon does not. So I would have to add $4.95 for HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz/Encore = $19.80. Plus an additional $6.95 for the Sports and Entertainment pak which is also included in Verizon's Ultimate HD package.

Let's compare shall we:

Verizon Ultimate HD 50/20 Internet, FiOS Digital Voice Phone Service. Includes HBO/Cinemax/Showtime/Starz/Encore/Epix/NFL RedZone/TMC/FLIX/IFC/Sports package + On Demand included Free for all the Premium Movie channels + MR-DVR + 2 additional HD boxes + "BS" taxes and fees = $172.21.

vs.

Optimum Triple Play/IO Gold/Boost Plus (50/8)/Optimum Voice+ DVR + 2 HD boxes = $185. (And that's without counting CV "outlet fees" and taxes) Now if I want to match what I get with Verizon with the Premium Movie channels On Demand and the Sports pak I need to add $26.75. So total = $211.75, (not counting any taxes or fees)

So explain to me please why Verizon's taxes and fees are such a big deal if out the door I am still paying less than CV?

Who cares about the sums of the total when the only thing that matters is the actual total, not how you got there.

Or could it be that OP DOES NOT WANT all those additional bullshit VOD channels that VZ shoves down your throat? Since CV gives you an option, you can order it if you want to. With VZ you have no choice!

Since OP had an option to order them but didn't, his channel selection is accurate to what he wants to receive and pay. So how the hell does OPs $185 $30 more than your $172?!?!?!
You are nothing but VZ's apologist and looking for every possible excuse to justify your own purchase to yourself and others. You are just looking for a psychological validation that your decision was good.

Why do bullshit taxes and fees matter?! Because VZ never ever advertises those amounts. Even when you place an order with them and ask phone drone, they will never tell you the exact accurate amount down to the penny on how much you will pay! They will give you approximate ballpark that is often $10 - $20 lower then your actual bill! They know your exact address and location, they know what specific taxes and fees apply to your account, yet they never able to tell it to you. It's intentional! They are hiding these below-the-line bullshit taxes and fees to make it extremely hard to make accurate comparison between services.

Uh, On Demand is now included with the CV Gold and Silver packages. I tend to agree with MxxCon that it might be better to not have it in the package since the vast majority of those with a DVR will simply set it to record these channels when they have a movie that they want and then use it like On-Demand.

reply to MxxCon
Ok, so even if I don't want the On demand, $185 is still more than $172.

The point was you justify paying MORE MONEY to cablevision just to not see taxes and fees on your bill.

My point was who cares what the taxes and fees are as long as the price you pay out the door is less.

I can apply your own argument to you, that you are nothing but CV's apologist looking for every possible excuse to justify your own purchase (or lack of options). You are just looking for a psychological validation that you're being stuck with an inferior service is actually good.

If you are going to compare prices all I am saying is that the bottomline price is the only one a rational cost-conscious consumer cares about.

I think its ironic that your best argument is "I pay more money for less service but at least I don't have to pay taxes and fees"

And yes, I am quite satisfied saving my $13 per month, having a much better experience than CV's 1980's guide that looks like something from the days of MS-DOS, and I feel I have contributed something to my community because a portion of my taxes and fees went to my local state/county.

And yes I stand by my original assessment that I get $30 more value for VZ's version of their package vs the equivalent of CV's because I could compare VZ's Extreme HD package and add in the Premium's to match CV's package and still come in at $30 less. And yes that's with the BS taxes and fees. My comparison was that anyone could get a lot more for those $185 with VZ than you could with CV.

Alas for those unable to get VZ they simply find an excuse to justify why CV "MUST" be better.

Just a news flash, you'd be better off not having any loyalty to either company. To both VZ and CV you are nothing more than a number to expoit to line their pockets. If either of them really cared about YOU as a consumer, than they would let you keep your promotional rates, as I can't possibly believe that they lose money on the promotional rates, they just make less profit.
