I have DirecTV/Fios and can get Fios TV. ---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ---------- [quote=“BOBBYGRV,post:19,topic:231103"”] I need to figure something out with my internet. I pay $65 a month for Turbo internet and have DirecTV. I have recently though about switching to Fios for internet, but now you guys are saying if I go through DTV for Fios, I can get a discount? [/quote] I pay $54/month for Fios internet. DirecTV is somewhere around $120 (every channel possible - hbo-show-cin- starz) but every 6 months I call and complain and they bring it down to $75 lol. I’m not under contract and I have FIOS Internet, so they know I’m not kidding about switching to FIOS TV. ---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ---------- [quote=“jay\_g,post:21,topic:231103"”] I asked about just having Internet but it would jump to $79.00 instead of the $45 it is now. effing bastareds [/quote] $25 to have Fios rather than dog shit Time Warner?

No premium channels. I ditched them after my free trial was up and renewed my sunday ticket for football. ---

I ditched my FiOS TV (actually it’s suspended) and just have 15/5 internet. We never watch TV and now just use a friends netflix account for movies and shows. ---

We never watch TV and now just use a friends netflix account for movies and shows. Same here, though I can honestly say I miss having TV service there are just some stations/programs I cannot get via streaming or downloads. I am still strongly considering getting a Infinititv Eth and a cable card from VZ. When I canceled my TV I went to 50/25 interwebz since they wanted to charge me higher for my 25/25. ---

Had Alex (somedude) come out yesterday to hook up directv. HD is just as good as Fios, pretty much same channel line up that I had, Genie and mini Genie, $45 a month. ---

There deal with directv is DSL bundles for areas that can’t have fios. No, the previous owner had FIOS TV/Internet. DirecTV (this was 2 years ago) offered a bundle package where I could get DirecTV and use my existing FIOS line for internet. Verizon came in, installed the modem and just hooked me into the pre-existing FIOS system. I get a FIOS bill every month and I think I save $20 doing it this way. > [@LZ](#): > > That was my understanding also > > There is no way they would make it worth their time to run fiber to the home/etc and then offload TV to another provider. I already had the equipment. ---

:bump: back up I switched to Time Warner for internet after fios wouldn’t help me at all and wanted $80 + fee’s just for the slowest internet speeds. After 10 months with Time Warner the service blows. I have the 15/1 package for $34.99 a month and its always cutting in and out. Tried different modems and still had issues. Last month they drew my payment late and charged me $20 even though it wasn’t my fault. That was a huge deal trying to get that taken care of. Fios has been sending me offers in the mail for triple play package but I don’t need tv and I don’t want a phone. Monday they call and offered me 50/25 internet with modem/router for $44.99 locked in for 2 years. So I’m now back with Fios. ---

My 50/25 FIOS plan test results: ![http://www.speedtest.net/result/3456907525.png](http://www.speedtest.net/result/3456907525.png) I get that speed all the time, 100% reliable, 150-200GB a month in usenet stuff alone pretty consistently month to month and they’ve never said a word to me about that much data on a residential account. In the past 4 years I think the only time my service went out was when the entire neighborhood lost power. ---

I still need to switch to FIOS…I’m getting real sick of TW’s shit service. Can barely stream Netflix because of how slow it is and I pay for better speed every month. ---

$104.48 /month, locked. 50/25, HD Prime + cable card. HTPC’s acting as DVR so no need for any of their settop boxes. ---

> [@evane](#): > > Do you have there settops? That is where the cost can start adding up. I only have one set top box, no DVR. I had my cable suspended before (vacation mode) and just had it reactivated a couple weeks ago automatically. It actually cost me less to go from Prime HD + 15/5 to Prime HD +50/25. It’s still kinda high. They want $140 this month but i think the months following it’s going to be like $110ish. ---
