Deal Details
Not sure if this is the right forum, so feel free to delete or move (mods):

I logged into my Verizon FiOS account (via iOS app) and much to my surprise received an offer for an upgrade to 300/300 from 200/200 for the same monthly price of $39.99 and no change in terms (no contract with autopay). I am based in PA, US. The only hardline competition locally for me is Comcast Xfinity with some coverage for T-Mobile 5G broadband (which may be influencing the offer).

I did not receive a mailer either physically or electronically. This simply came up as an option when I clicked on Internet—>Upgrade my speed. Granted I had already been receiving speeds above 200/200 prior to the upgrade, but this formalizes it.

Autopay via bank account or debit card is required, at least for my account.

If you actually have a need for it, then a lot or nothing more than it does now. Maybe you've got a really large family who are all constantly streaming videos, uploading content, downloading stuff all the time, running multiple servers gaming, a billion smart devices, etc then it could be useful.

The reality is though for most homes, that extra money you spend on a gigabyte connection just ends up being wasted money.
yea I feel I'm currently not even fully using the 300 connection. we're probably limited on the server connection side.

That's how I feel, I currently have the 400/400 plan and have debated dropping to the 200/200 just because the only time I feel the 400 is i'm uploading or downloading something, other than that I don't think I'd tell the difference between the two.

once 300mbps added to cart … it will take you to next page to select Disney, HBO Max… if Disney is already selected… touch again the same icon… it will de-select

Yes I was told the same thing when I switched to Fios 2 years ago that the 200/200 plan is really provisioned 300/300.
That said, trying to switch my account to the 300/300 plan to properly reflect what I'm actually getting, AND I DONT SEE A WAY TO DE-SELECT DISNEY which they seem to be adding on for another $7.99. Anyone else figure this out?

I live in NYC too and came from Spectrum. Lol it's night and day switching over to Fios. Speed is always consistent with Fios around 300~ for upload and download. As for the router, I bought the TP Link wifi 6 AX1800 (Archer AX21) and it works perfectly fine. Trust me. Just do it.
Got it, thanks a lot, I didn't know regular mesh router works for FIOS, which I already have the mesh router. I thought there is something called "FIOS modem" is needed

The reason is so many customers are still att 100 or below. And would need to have their data switched from coax to ethernet.
I'm in this boat. Verizon said they will charge me$200 fee to switch to Ethernet. Apparently there was a promotion that made it free but not anymore. Anyone know any trucks to get Verizon to do this for free?

Guys, I'm paying $15/month for a router. Should I buy one instead? Just find a compatible router?

200/200 is same as 300/300. You get exact same speed on both tiers.

I am planning switch from cable to Verizon FIOS, have 200 download and 35mbps for cable now, I have 3 questions, 1) my cable upload speed drop to 1-2mbps if weather is bad, will same thing happen on FIOS? Or it keep the same speed all the time? 2) how to save on the FIOS modem? I checked but can't find it sell at Amazon, Version selling it for $300. 3) around how much I need to pay for the tax or fee in additional to the $39.99? I live in NYC. Appreciated your answers
1) Haven't noted any significant drops with weather (I live in MA). 2) It might be cheaper to get another router online, there are lot of cheaper and better options ( you DON'T HAVE to go with the FIOS one). 3) $39.99 is inclusive of taxes

What do you prefer to use for speed tests? I recently found that the test built into my Orbi shows significantly greater speed results than via the Ookla Speedtest even though they're both branded as the same test, which is kind of interesting.
Are you doing your speedtest wirelessly from your PC and comparing it to Orbi via wired connection?

New customer offers are almost always better than current customer offers. You'd need to cancel and sign up under another person's name (spouse, roommate).
Pseudo incorrect. I signed up with same name but different email. I timed it so I was only out of internet for a day. You can say you will be the new resident.

If you rent any equipment you have to return it on your old account BUT SAVE THE RECEIPT GIVEN WHEN YOU RETURN. They tried to get me to pay for a router after I said no for a receipt. I had a paper trail and tracking numbers.

Nice job. That runs counter to everything else I've read. They supposedly do it by SSN. Otherwise it would be too easy to jump from offer to offer.
