Verizon fios 300/300 $39.99 upgrade free ymmv

Verizon had their 200/200 for 39.99
and it seems you maybe able to upgrade to the 300/300 plan for the same price without a contract for free.

Im guessing this isn't available in all areas. It doesn't hurt to check your account to see if you can upgrade you internet plan.
it seems you can cancel your plan and sign up for a new one and get 100 dollar gift card and an amazon dot.

edit: it is region specific. so far it seems the NY/NJ area works fine.

Looks like the option to switch to 300/300 from 200/200 (provisioned as 300/300) was removed from my account.
Where do you live? I'm in NY and it was removed as well. I was told all 200/200 accounts in areas where the offer was live will automatically be upgraded early next year. I don't know if that is true, or they were just BSing me because they screwed up my order and didn't know how to fix it, but that is what they said.

So I'm currently on 100/100 but seeing the offer for 200/200. The problem is that I am currently on Coax. What happens when I checkout? Do they automatically switch my ONT from Coax to Ethernet? I have a newer ONT that can support the higher speeds.

I would have to get a pair of MoCA adapters if it's switched to Internet since the ONT is located in the garage and wouldn't be able to fish ethernet cables to the house.

Currently on an old TV/Internet plan under wifey's name but finally cutting the cord.

i signed up as a new user (for the new cyber monday promo's) going with the 'existing user is moving out and I need new service' option in order to get 300/300 mbps + echo dot (don't need this) + $100 verizon GC for 39.99.

Question is, they're coming for some install on 12/9, which happens to be when the first day of the next billing period under my current tv/internet plan. Can I call to cancel my existing fios service and request that it be cut off on a certain date and time? Trying to minimize down time with working form home and all.

Is this dead? Can anyone confirm? The website keeps looping reloading every second when I try to log in and check for deals.

That happens to me sometimes. Delete your fios cookies and it will work.

How would I contact Verizon on social media? Also what is the "mix and match plan"?

Ping em on social media, that seems to work.
Also you should be on a mix and match plan, they don't change prices and are forever 39.99.

Been doing this for a few years now.... join at lower price and then "move out" so that "next tenant" (spouse) can get her own connection at the promo price. You can ask them to cut off the old service on a certain date, but not time. Service is usually gone before afternoon. I usually time it to occur on a saturday though...just in case there is an issue...I wouldn't want both of us be stuck on a weekday... It has been seamless, except once when I had to call into tech support.

Trying to remember here, since I was on Coax... I think Ethernet was required before I could order 200/200... because MoCa doesn't support the higher speed, if I recall. I do recall an option (or requirement) at check out to request a technician to come and do it, at an additional cost ($79?). Wouldn't let me place the order without it, I believe. Since I wasn't feeling like paying extra for the tech, I switched from Coax to Ethernet myself (the cable was already there, I only had to attach the connectors at both ends), called/chatted with cust support asked them to switch me from MoCa to Ethernet, verified everything was working and then was able to place the order.

Hope that helps.

In NY FYI
Regarding routers, I have the old MI424WR. Is this router still sufficient to now deliver 300/300 speeds or will I need to upgrade router now?
If upgrade is needed, is this relatively easy to do on my own or should the new router be bought so when tech comes out I can just give to him/her to install?

I get 280mbit out of my 200 on that router just fine. It should handle up to about 400mbit before it starts choking out. It will not however handle gigabit
