I'm currently a Comcast customer. The only gear I use from them is a cable card in my Tivo Roamio Plus which is connected to their signal via coax. I own my cable modem which I realize is worthless for FIOS. The Tivo box is also connected to my ethernet LAN and serves as a MoCa bridge which serves my Tivo minis. I use Ooma VOIP for phone service.
I just got the offer in the mail from Verizon for the $79.99 (+ fees) Triple Play package with a $200 prepaid Visa card. This offer might be the one that finally makes me jump from Comcast.
This is a new home, and I've never had FIOS before so no Verizon gear/ONT at the moment. What would be the best approach to sign up to ensure my setup is correct? I'd like to keep using my Tivo so I assume I need a cable card. I'd also like to use my current router (Ubiquity ER-X) instead of Verizon's. I don't care to use the Verizon phone service as I already have Ooma so it doesn't even need to be connected. Can I just chat with customer service and tell them I'd like to take advantage of the new customer Triple Play deal, but I need ethernet enabled on ONT to use my router, TV enabled on coax, and a cable card? It seems that others have a similar setup so I want to minimize the confusion for customer service and the tech that would be doing the installation.
Thanks in advance!
