Has anyone made the jump from Spectrum to the new Verizon internet service? I’m very tempted by the great price but would love to hear if someone has any experiences to share about how the service has been and how painful they transition was (or hopefully wasn’t.)

We’ve had Verizon for years after switching from Spectrum. Transition was easy for setup, just had to coordinate equipment turnin and canx the account. Verizon is so stable and good. Totally worth it.

I’ve got the Verizon 5g home internet. Almost zero problems. I have my Apple TV and Xbox connected via Ethernet, and all our other devices work fine off just the Wi-Fi. Speeds are nearly twice as fast.

Two things: 1) when they say to place the box by a window, the mean it. Tried to tuck the Cube behind the TV so it was out of sight, and it got a terrible signal. 2) about one a month, the signal drops off and I have to unplug it and plug it back in again. Takes five minutes to reboot. Minor inconvenience for really cheap internet.

you really need to QUALIFY your location if you are getting or have FIOS....it is not offered in most of Worcester

I’ve looked into it, it’s available in my neighborhood and I’ve received targeted mailings advertising the new service and rates.

You have to up your verizon cell service to even get the deal, which made it too expensive for me.
