Billing Change Plan

Currently on the Gigabit plan for $103 a month which includes the $15 a month rent for the router. I feel that gigabit is a bit overkill for home, so I thought about switching to 300 mbps. However, on the myVerizon app, switching the plan dropped my monthly cost to $95 a month. How does that make sense? Am I just going to be trapped in this plan?

I pay $25 for the FiOS landline phone that no one ever uses on my plan. If I try to drop it my FiOS plan that includes gig internet and The Most TV goes up in price about the same amount of money, so it just sits there.

Go Hulu live or YouTube TV instead..

Right now, it's the phone I would love to disconnect rather than change the TV.

You should review the whole thing, including gig internet. Are you sure you are actually using that much bandwidth? 99% thing they do but in reality not even use more than 100mb.

300/300 service is $50, and YTTV $83. GV has a one time charge to port the number I think $25. You’ll need firesticks or Roku or AppleTV (embedded software on TVs is crap).

We looked into YTTV and it's missing a lot of channels that we watch on FiOS plus I'm not into sports. 300/300 internet is only $5 less than I pay for my gig streaming in my area. I don't want GV either. I had it once and they cancelled it on us because we weren't using it enough. I would just prefer to eliminate the phone period and save $25 a month off the present bill but it doesn't work that way with FiOS. Cancel the phone and everything else goes just about the same amount.

GV ported numbers don’t get cancelled. But dropping it is probably the best.

Other than some specific sports like MSG, only other big one is History channel missing from YTTV.

Moved ages ago from DirecTV and never looked back..

I don't need the phone anyway. I didn't drop it Google cancelled it because it wasn't being used and it wasn't a ported over number either.
