I am nearing the end of a two year contract for 75 Mbps internet and TV for $90 per month. I went to look at a new contract and only saw options for 100 Mbps ($110/month) and 300 Mbps ($120/month) internet, both of which require a $150 "installation" charge to upgrade infrastructure. I am single and don't think I need anything faster (especially with the extra required cost). I went online to chat about what Verizon could do and the "best offer" for my current package was more than $130/month. I was told that the other offers were cheaper because the speeds were faster (which makes no sense and runs counter to how pricing had been before).
Seems to me Verizon is forcing more revenue from their customers by either charging them a lot more for slower speeds or making them pay one time fees for existing customers to get the best pricing (also by buying more speed than they might need). Safe to say this has me considering Comcast if this is how Verizon is now treating long-time customers.
Anyone else having this issue?
