I'm signed up for 25/25 and getting 30/30 with an Ethernet connection and 20/18 wirelessly. I'm happy...

I would say because they want the customers to think they are getting more bang for their buck

I upgraded to 75/35 and I'm getting 19/21.

....or 70/32 when wired.

I guess my old Actiontec MI424WR Rev C with it's 802.11g doesnt cut it. Pity Verizon didnt mention that when I ordered the upgrade.

Get your router replaced. That might fix the issue

Tried to get them to replace the router, but they wont. So time to cancel the "upgrade".

You have a few options

1. Get the upgrade and tell them that your actiontec isn't working right. They will send you a replacement router. No promises that it will be a RevI. You might get a RevF

2. Have a tech come out and chances are they will give you a replacement RevI router

A couple of you in this thread have mentioned that you have 150/65 without TV service. May I ask how much you're paying? Thanks!

Been on 25/25 Triple Play since switching from TWC this March with a bit of extra fluff, paying $107 mo. including taxes/fees for with "free" MR-DVR for life + free SD-STB, and 2 extra HD-STB, nothing extra - haven't seen the $2 extra per STB adjusted yet - a substantial saving of $55/mo. over TWC with only 2 HD-STB and no DVR at all.

Been hit with numerous emails to upgrade to 50/50 - getting consistently 31/25 now - started out at 31/20's or so before I optimized the cat5/coaxial setup - with Rev.I AT router.

Speed is addicting & tempting, to pull the extra 25+ upstream since we get 15+ devices (4STB + pc's/tablets/phones, etc.) but it will cost $15 extra when I priced it out vs. current discounts, and it will only be good for next 18 months (on 24 mo. contract) - I think we will pass and see what's being offered as we get closer to renewal time - who knows, maybe - bump to a higher speed & locked in another 24 month contract.

my question is what is the cheapest Fios internet package. Does anybody has the prices for all the packages?

Hey Jackarino

Thanks for the pics my friend. The NJ plans usually stay pretty close to the NY plans. Now I wonder will the price will drop if you have all 3 services included but thats a question for another day. Thanks Again
