Yes I work for Verizon, I’m a fios rep. There aren’t any special deals we can do in the sales/service dept but the retention dept can offer $35 off per month credits, especially if you might be thinking about switching to comcast (wink). Are you under a DirecTV contract? They are usually only for 18 or 24 months depending on which receivers you went with. If you aren’t under a contract and have fios tv in your area I’d go with a triple. Yeah there is a 2 for 1 special right now where you pay the std price for VFE which is 49.99/mo + txs and surcharges and you get 10/2 or 20/5 fios data free for 3 months. After that its a standard double which is 69.99/mo (10/2) or 79.99/mo (20/5) + txs and surcharges. Thats correct about the fios data activation fee being waived for DSL customers migrating to fios.
I haven’t heard anything about fios roll out plans for that area. I agree you would probably be better off only paying for the 1M speed (used to be called 768k) since the 3M service you have is only giving you 1.5M (pretty common in rural areas).
