Free Netflix for existing Verizon Fios customers - upgrade to Enhanced DVR required

I contacted Fios chat about the free Netflix promo for new customers and asked if existing customers can avail. Basically you need to upgrade to the Enhanced DVR ($5/month in my case) and pay for an upgrade fee of $50 (CSR offered to waive this fee after it posted to my account) and the delivery fee of new equipment (you might be able to pick up the equipment from a Fios store to save).
So you get Netflix and an upgraded DVR (record 6 shows at a time, 500GB storage) for $5 extra per month. Netflix alone cost $7.99 per month for Basic subscription.
So getting a free 'cutting the cable' service by upgrading a service which will be gone in 5 years. neat
If you look at it that way. Some may like Netflix in addition to their Fios service. There are shows that are Netflix exclusive. I didn't personally sign up though, just posting this just in case somebody wanted it.
Equipment - $12/ mo
Multi-Room DVR Enhanced Service - $20/mo
Additional Monthly Price $32.00
+taxes & fees
Shipping and TV upgrade charge $50.00/one time
Just tried with Chat. They claimed it for new users only. I told them my friend just got the offer and he is an existing customer. They came back and said they would give me the offer with the upgrade to DVR Enhanced. Which would raise my current price to another $12. Told them that would be the same as buying Netflix separately. So basically, not a deal for existing users.
