What's this?

My cord cutting saga...


Not really a saga...just a pain in the butt!

I am an existing Verizon Fios customer...but my two year agreement has expired. In theory...I am a free agent...but not so fast!

I have completed my free trail period with PS Vue...and I've decided to go with this service. So...I need internet only.

Got an internet only quote from Verizon yesterday for $105 per month...which is absurd! Verizon is currently running a campaign in DC for internet only service at $39.99 per month. I heard the ad last night on my way home from work...so I am about to call Verizon back...to ask for this deal.

Provided this doesn't work (and I'm not expecting them to respond favorably) what other internet only service providers to you all use for your streaming service?

  Completely stop/switch your verizon service . . . to get the best deal -- RichwebHokie 01/04/2019 1:40PM
  I've got Comcast internet only (SWVA) -- hokeeron1 01/04/2019 2:06PM

  That's what i thought ** -- HokieDan95 01/04/2019 1:49PM

  Yep, did that a few weeks ago and got transferred 4 times -- Vienna_Hokie 01/04/2019 1:17PM
  Unfortunately, that is pretty much the market for internet only -- Vienna_Hokie 01/04/2019 1:02PM
  I'm at $60/mo for what anyone would call crappy internet service -- Tafkam Hokie 01/04/2019 6:44PM
  This is the reality I'm now coming to grips with... ** -- great2bahokie 01/04/2019 1:05PM
  I used Cox for a while and they were fine -- VTSnake 01/04/2019 12:53PM
  The $39.99 internet is for slower speed I think.The $79.99 internet the one -- GFallsFan 01/04/2019 12:50PM
  Keep us posted, i'm locked in until April and then I'm trying for that ** -- HokieDan95 01/04/2019 12:45PM
  Plan now, you will be paying $100-$120 for internet -- Vienna_Hokie 01/04/2019 1:18PM
  Who else in your neighborhood has laid cable? Most people only have -- Femoyer Hokie 01/04/2019 12:31PM
  I switched to Verizon from Comcast 2 years ago. -- great2bahokie 01/04/2019 12:37PM
  How much is that monthly? ** -- HokieSignGuy 01/04/2019 1:17PM
  I think we're paying $50 or so (Alexandria) for internet only w/Verizon. -- Hurley09 01/04/2019 12:33PM
  Might make sense. Slower speed plus modem for about $50. ** -- great2bahokie 01/04/2019 12:38PM
  I'm guessing the 39.99 deal is for slower speed than you currently have -- Tombo 01/04/2019 12:28PM
