Verizon Fixed Wireless
May 10, 2023 We switched to Verizon Fios for TV cable and internet several years ago, leaving Cox for better prices with Verizon. Unfortunately, after the initial price period was up - a fact buried in very small print - the prices rose. I called to negotiate and got a small cut. The following year, the same happened. While the signal strength and speed are mainly fine - sufficing even with three working/schooling from home during Covid shutdowns - I feel that I am paying more than I should be. I'm currently pricing alternatives, frankly, because Verizon has gotten complacent.
