$99/year is a great price. I'd go for it in a heart beat.

I am pretty sure he meant 99/month, for the first year...

I wasn't very clear - should have said $99/mo for the first year, which is less than half what Cox
wants.

Anyone using it? I'm thinking of switching from Cox, who just raised all their rates about 15%.


FIOS is the wave of the future with internet, TV and telephone all
riding on one big data pipe. The real key is quality of service.
Verizon is doing very well with that in some areas, not so much in
others.

We're using a Verizon Wireless 4G air card (Pantech UML290) on the
boat this summer. Service varies from spectacularly good to
spectacularly poor, sometimes within minutes.


Well, this should be a little more dependable (I guess). The cable is already buried in my front
yard, but I don't know if anyone around here has signed up for it.

Call up Cox and tell them you are thinking of switching to Verizon and
see what Cox has to say.

That's the plan. Will let you know the outcome. This will be the second time I've done that. Last
time saved a little over $30 a month. That was about a year ago.
