(Project Completed)
My 1 year commitment on internet service is coming to an end. So, I may have to switch internet service. I currently have Verizon FIOS connection that I pay introductory discount. I need fast internet because I do a lot of work online. I am happy with Verizon FIOS (as long as I don’t have to call them for service). Once you are hooked up with them, service is rock solid.
Original Plan:

Original Plan:
- Research what other kinds of internet services are out there in my area.
- Verizon if they will renew my special price for one more year (or beat competitor’s price).
Progress report
- February 16, 2009:
- It’s been about three weeks since I added internet shopping on my to do list.
- The biggest challenge is that I am too lazy to make phone calls and compare prices. It’s not easy.
- I don’t feel the urgency of saving money on internet access. This is bad. BAD, BAD….
- I need to get in gear and make sure that I am not paying too much for internet access.
- March 18, 2009:
- There was a Verizon event at our apartment. Two ladies from Verizon set up a table and made sale pitches to everyone. They convinced me to commit to Verizon FIOS packages.
- I will be paying $117.37/month (after tax) on telephone, internet, & cable TV.
- This is about $10.00 less than what I pay right now.
- Internet – Speed of my internet will double
- Cable TV – I will have a lot more channels then what I have right now. I will get my TCM (Turner Classic Movie) back. Time Warner took away my TCM about 5 years ago (bastards..)
- Telephone – I will have unlimited long distant calling. I used to have no long distant package at all.Then I will receive $150.00 cash back.
- I had to commit 1 year of service. Price will be locked for 2 years.
- Cable installation is scheduled for March 25. I have a day off of March 25, so this is working out perfect.
- I am satisfied about this package. Let’s see what could go wrong.
- March 25, 2009:
- FIOS Cable TV is installed today.
- Everything went smooth.
I am blown away by the picture quality of FIOS. I have an old style 27 inch Sony TV. Picture quality is so amazing. I can’t wait to get one of those flat screen TVs. But, I am not buying any TVs until I buy a house.

You can save more money if you get a ooma telephone system from costco and drop the fios telephone service. In NY fios hd extreme tv and internet is less than $80 a month. omma is 229 plus 35 if you want to port your number. you would start saving $37 a month after 7 months.
