I called and was quoted $85/mo for FiOS Prime TV, 150/150, free HBO for 1 year in Portland, OR. I don't need the phone, wanted Showtime. I don't see that in the confirmation email. Not sure if that means it's not in there. Switching from Comcast.
My questions:
1. I have Tivo and the person I spoke to was going on about the free equipment that is included. I don't really want to stop using Tivo. Wife and kids are used to it and usually complain about everything for a year or so when changing. Can I just get a cablecard and continue using my Tivo/s?
2. I have a Google Wifi mesh router system at home. Can I continue to use that? I didn't bring it up with rep as I figured it could just be used after modem.
3. I have my own modem. Is it compatible? It is the springboard 6142 or similar. Use it with Comcast service currently.
4. I asked about what the usual price for the package above as it is a 1 year price guarantee. Rep said only $5 increase because of equipment fee. That's where it really started sounding like BS. Usually the promo price is just not free equipment and install. Anyone know what I am looking at for regular prices?
I really don't want to get stuck for a year of anger and frustration, and the more I read here the less I want to switch. I don't have a lot of trouble with Comcast service. I just don't want to pay $150/mo for something I can get for $85. I am no rocket-surgeon, but basic math regarding money, I can do.
Thanks for any help
