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.

I guess another scenario is if you already have the Enhanced DVR. Just ask for the one year free Netflix promo.

Probably depends on the person you chat with. I did Support > Order/Change/Cancel Services > Add/Change My Service - select Chat Now.

Verizon tried to sell Netflix to me for $10.00 more a month when I inquired.

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.
