I signed up for gigabit service and was automatically sent a shiny new gigabit router.
My old router: FiOS-G1100, shipped firmware 01.03.02.02
My new router: FiOS-G1100, shipped firmware 01.03.02.02
Notice anything interesting? That's right, Verizon sent me another rotuer that's exactly the same as the one they sold me in May 2017 (and which I've been using since then). Now I get to pay $5 per month to rent this great new router, and I'm supposed to be grateful it's discounted from $10 per month.
Don't they have a database that shows I already purchased and activated the very same router? That seems like something worth keeping track of, both so they know to send a new router to a customer that needs it and so they don't send an unnecessary router.
Oh, and I'm still getting the same 150 Mbps service as before, too. I'm not terribly upset, since I was happy with the service before, but I do wonder why they went to the trouble of selling me an upgrade and sending me a new router.
