Does anyone have Verizon Fios? If so, comments? please?

Tweet

I just had an aggravating discussion with a Verizon Fios rep (see below). She seemed as clueless to the service as I did!! However, so far the price seems SO MUCH better than what I pay now for Comcast, I'm just very uneasy about getting bad answers to simple questions. Does anyone here have Verizon Fios? Any comments? Thanks!! [i] We are routing you to a chat representative. Thank you for contacting Verizon. Your average wait time is 1 seconds. You are now chatting with 'Jessica C' Jessica C: Hello. Thank you for visiting our Verizon chat service. How can I help you set up your new service and save with a Verizon bundle? you: Hey, jessica I am just poking around right now... can I minimize you and get back to you when I have a question? Jessica C: Yes that is okay. Jessica C: I have not heard from you for a few moments. Would you like to continue this chat session? you: yeah, I do have a question... the Option called "Movies", what movie channels exactly? Jessica C: Are you looking at Fios? you: oh, yes I think so you: yes i am Jessica C: Alright. Would you like me to send you the channel lineup? you: sure, I have the regular channel lineup, just the one called "Movies" please! Jessica C: one moment please. Jessica C: The movie channels listed are just extra options. you: yeah, I specifically want showtime, but it said movie channels "Such as" showtime, starz, etc... I was wondering if there was a list of what actually came with that option you: also, I'm curious about how DVR works... if there is a monthly fee, or if I just have to do a one time purchase of a specific box or what? Jessica C: I will be happy to help you with that. Jessica C: One moment please. Jessica C: The DVR is a one time fee. you: do I need any special equipment for it, or will it work with any tv? you: ooh, I just hit "DVR" to add to my order, and bumped up my monthly cost Jessica C: Oh, I'm sorry, my bad. That is correct. It is a monthly fee. you: thanks... do we know yet which movie channels I would get? it doesn't have a list Jessica C: Well I'm sorry. I looked it up, but not on the internet. Jessica C: I would suggest the first one though honestly. Jessica C: That is what I have. you: that's strange...[/i]
