Re: Symmetrical SpeedsExcept it looks like that's the deal he signed up for 6 months ago (18 months remaining on a 2 year contract). If Verizon was going to refuse to honor the deal, they probably would have done it by now. |

Wow, I'd love to have that package, unfortunately once you've been a customer they're no longer as aggressive with their NYDMA pricing. I originally started at around that (I was $129) then I went to $179 off contract, renewed and now I'm paying $169.99 for 2yr on that same package. |

What a headache this whole symmetrical upgrade has been. So I upgraded on July 20th. Today, finally they "fixed" their billing system I guess and I'm showing a different pricing under my services. I'll fight for this pricing with retention and hopefully here in the direct forums. |

Jesus Grover! So he's getting the same package I have - but WITH phone - for $70 / month less - AND it also includes HBO and Starz (which i'm paying $16 / month for). Who do you know on the inside? That's literally paying over $1000 less per year than me - and having home phone. Yes - i'm bitter typing this. |

said by SeattleMatt:$100 in credits??? BRAVO Grover! I bow to you... I second that, he is now the king on this forum when it comes to getting credits from VZ. Amazing! |

I was thinking about upgrading but I don't want to risk losing my account credits. Not as good as Grover8 but I've yet to see anyone with similar credits. Guess I'll probably wait until my agreement is up before I pull the trigger on it. |

How did you guys manage to get so many credits?
Also, I would not mind switching my plan to a Double Play account. I would prefer to do Double Play with Vonage for phone service because I make many international calls and need to use calling cards.
I currently pay $164.99 for NYC area Ultimate HD, 150/35 Internet, and Phone. Any way to make it around that price with the $29.99 Vonage World Plus plan included? |

I had 15/5 and was happy to see 24/5 reliably. When it was switched to 15/15 I saw 15/15 but then decided to power cycle the actiontec. Now 24/15 |

I can get it on one of my accounts, but unless someone wants to pay for it, I can't be switching to that right now.. lol |

I was one of those with the 50/25 upgrade (from 35/35). Finally got the free speed upgrade yesterday. » www.speedtest.net/result ··· 4531.pngWell, I guess that $10/mo is now justified with that upload. Now to find more ways to utilize it.. |
|
|
to Onedollar
Finally got the upgrade e-mail and this is the speed I'm getting, when I should be getting 75/75 » www.speedtest.net/result ··· 3838.pngIs the reason I'm seeing 63.67 megabits up and not more because I'm on BPON? It looks like I'm getting the upload (with fluff) that the 50/50 guys are getting, not what I should get for 75/75 (you'll note I'm still getting download fluff). I have double play w/ phone. |

I had it for a day to test it out and experience it, are you kidding me!? I still can't justify that price point, especially considering the fact that my AC router can only under ideal RF conditions keep up with those speeds. Barely.
If you're wired in and running a server I guess it could be useful. |

Everyone still seems to forget the hidden bandwidth usage caps before Verizon sends out an email telling you to stop your abusive use. So splitting the higher services with more people to save money, but possibly abusing it, will probably still get your in trouble. » LOL. VZ called me about my bandwidth usage. Gotta go Biz.. Also remember that after everything was tested for quite some time, not even a business connection saved anyone from these abuse phone calls/letters. So unfortunately, these higher speed tiers really are of no use as they can't be utilized all the time without fear of what may happen. |

On a side note, looks like my non contract account was just upgraded: Congratulations, as a My Rewards+ member you have received a free speed upgrade Now it shows me having 75/75
On a bad note, if I want to drop speeds, it's $15/mo a month. Wow.. |

However, houkouonchi did mention he was told to keep it under 2TB or something like that so your mileage may vary. |
