Verizon FIOS in areas with DSL lines are overpriced

Post by darknkreepy3# »

Verizon has taken liberty in added MDU or multi-dwelling units into buildings, here in philadelphia in my building 1321 spruce to be exact. They put a DSL modem and a FIOS router together as a package. Then they tier 10/2 and 20/5 if you complain.

$74.99 a month for FIOS, the same as 25/25 and a phone package. Then I complained to $64.99 when really it should just be $49.99 for 20/5 as it is NOT FIOS.

Here is the data from the Verizon Corporate site

and here is the "upgrade package" from 20/5 to 30/5, $127.99 (hahahahaha)

You(16:00:05): 1. stop stealing from me for very slow speeds WITH FIOS in my basement
You(16:00:17): 2. raise my speeds to 20/20
Alen(16:00:24): I can understand your concern; however, your location doesn't qualify for same download and upload speed.
You(16:00:24): 3. follow good business ethics
You(16:00:42): yes it does there is a fios bridge $10,000 unit in my basement

Alen(16:04:09): I would be happy to assist you check the price for FiOS Internet Speeds up to 30 Mbps/5 Mbps before you place the order.
You(16:04:41): there should be a lower price for that. it isn't fios. it is dsl sold AS FIOS.
You(16:05:09): it is illegal marketing and I want a price reduction. the speed itself says no price increase for 30/5 right on the page
Alen(16:07:04): You will be able to see the price once you add the package in the cart.
You(16:08:41): hahahahahahahahahahahaha

You(16:09:04): are you daft?
You(16:09:37): I am going to post this conversation with screenshots of the prices on my web review of verizon fios scams
You(16:10:32): Ill mail a copy to philly.com and the verizon business center as well
Alen(16:10:52): I can understand your concern; however, this is the best package you will qualify for at this moment and you can upgrade your services once new speed will be available for your location.
You(16:11:20): I have asked for 5 years
You(16:11:39): this has been the lie for 5 years. and the price has increased but the speed and equipment has never changed
Alen(16:12:50): Please be assured, Verizon is expanding the services day by day and you will get it very soon. I would suggest you keep visit your account to check the options.
You(16:14:52): that is a lie. it has been 1/2 of a decade now
You(16:15:20): you are lying.verizon is overcharging and I am going to make an online report and spread this on 50 search engines so people will know.
You(16:15:37): it will go hand in hand with the "same speed fios" story. and it will link to it.
You(16:16:39): I am adding it now
Alen(16:17:39): I can understand your frustration; however, at this moment your account doesn't qualify for same download and upload speeds.
