I posted a few years back about how to save on ISP bills, one of the tips was to switch ISPs (if one had an option to) to get the new customer rate which is usually cheaper. Negotiating doesn't always work, but switching services alway got me a cheap rate.
I have been doing this for maybe 8 or 9 years, switching back and forth from FiOS to Xfinity, never paying more than $39.99 for service, and sometimes as low as $29.99 a month. I typically would have 100Mbps download speed, with upload speed varying depending on whether I am with Comcast or Fios.
Yesterday, I switched to back to Comcast, as my "new customer" rate with FiOS was expiring in a few days, and today I called Verizon to terminate my FiOS service.
I was very happy to hear that Verizon has finally listen to the customers like me that would much rather stick with their service, but at the "new customer" rate.
You go on a website, and view options for your plan, and sign up without making a phone call or negotiating.
The website:
verizon.com/mixandmatchchangeplan
Go to "Change My Plan", and it will give you a few options, one option matched my "new customer" rate, but even better, if you click "other options", they have more plans.
I was able to get 200Mbps up and down for $39.99 a month, the same price I was paying for 100Mbps.
Anyways, I was happy to hear this from the excellent FiOS customer service rep, and wanted to pass a long the news.
Please let me know if anyone tries this, if it works for you, and what you are able to sign up for.
