Synopsis: I am a Verizon Wireless customer as well as a FIOS (internet, phone and television) customer. On Thursday 12.5.13 I upgraded my iPhone at a storefront Verizon Wireless location. The representatives stated they were going to look for any discounts that could be applied to my account for being both a wireless and FIOS subscriber. My discount is that I am now paying about $5.00 more per month for the same services I had before I walked in the door!
Statement: During the phone upgrade process another employee of the Verizon Wireless store approached me and stated he could offer me more movie channels in addition to NFL Redzone, The Outdoor Network (and a few others) for an additional $5.00 (approximately) per month. I assumed when he said “additional movie channels” he meant more than what I currently had. I also assumed, wrongly, that there was indeed a discount being applied and this was the reason for the price point.
Prior to any changes being made I was subscribed to the TV Extreme HD package with the Fully Loaded Entertainment Pack added. I was changed to the Ultimate HD package which included the additional channels listed above but did not include the HBO family of channels. “Additional movie channels” meant I lost HBO and added others in its place. This was not explained; had I been informed I was going to lose the HBO family of channels I would not have made any changes.
After speaking to two representatives over the phone today I was told I cannot change back to my old plan because it no longer exists in the form I had it. So I am now paying more money each month for exactly the same services I had prior to entering the Verizon store. At best it is disingenuous to encourage an employee to “up sell” packages that do not deliver what is implied.
