Unveils new 'Flex Double Play' promotion....

tags: dsl · wireless · bundles · Verizon Online DSL
As had been expected, Verizon today unveiled their "Flex Double Play" wireless and broadband bundle. Verizon users who bundle a national Verizon Wireless calling plan of 450 minutes or greater, and a FiOS or DSL (3Mbps only) connection can save up to $14. Of course the amount saved depends on what services you're signed up for, your location, and your contract length (see attached price chart). Says Big Red:

For example, a 450-minute Verizon Wireless Nationwide calling plan can be combined with a FiOS mid-tier Internet plan for a Flex double play starting at $84.99 monthly, or nearly $13 per month less than unbundled prices. Where available, FiOS TV can also be added to this bundle with rates beginning at $124.99 a month for a monthly savings of nearly $15.
A one or two year contract is required to get the bundle discount.

I'm still waiting

For AT&T to offer something like this ... oh wait, they don't want to sell Internet only Uverse.
As their sales people have typically told me 'Uverse Internet requires TV service, which is Internet based'. Sort of a cart before the horse answer.

So is 20/5 replacing 15/2 in the remaining markets

Here in SoCal we still have 5/2, 15/2, 15/15 and 30/15 as our options. No 20Mb plan yet. It would be nice to get bumped from 30Mb to 50Mb.

WOW!!

It’s nice to see the phone companies respond to marketing demand. I don’t have a landline; don’t need one. I do, however, have a cell phone and broadband. I’m calling today!!

Dry Loop?

Since there is no land line phone service required, does this price hold for dry loop customers? Can I get 450 minutes, DSL and no POTS line for $69.99.???

I assume the 15% Wireless discount I get through my employer can not be stacked on top of this?

Re: Dry Loop?

When I bundled my services through Verizon, I saw the 15% monthly discount for the wireless service, and regular price for the other services (I ended up using DirecTV, Verizon POTS, and Verizon Wireless). Will it count for the entire total? Nope.

@verizon.com		 The bundle does include dry loop. You would take your cell fone plan, add $30 for the dry loop (3 meg) and that's ur total bill plus tax. And it comes combined on one bill.

Re: Dry Loop?

i signed up for FIOS last month and didn't want to get the lan line but it was cheaper to get the bundle. I already had Verizon wireless as my cell carrier too.

Anyone know if it's possible to switch at this point.. I am guessing no as I'd have to terminate my 2 year contract.

worthless

in NYC, I get dryloop 3mb dsl from verizon $40 no tax
then I get 500min SERO phone from Sprint for $30 +tax,
so to "switch" to verizon's $70 "double play" would
be a waste of effort (unless I wanted their network).
were I not SERO, Sprint has a 450min plan for $40 +tax,
so it may still not be worth switching just to save $10.

What savings?

My 3mb DSL is 29.99 and my 450min cell plan is $39.99. This deal costs me a penny more than what I'm already paying.

Re: What savings?

Not only that but you will also lose your landline if you have one. This bundle automatically disconnects any Verizon landline on the account.

Has Anyone with Dry Loop DSL Tried to Sign Up?

I have dry loop DSL, no Verizon home phone and Verizon wireless phone. I have found it impossible to sign up for this package.

When I try to create a Verizon login account, it asks for a Verizon home phone number or, if no home phone, the Verizon billing number for the DSL. When I put in the DSL billing number, it says they are unable to assist me. Of course, you dial the 800 number listed on the error message and either never get through to a live person or you get bounced to someone who starts transferring you around saying that "the wireless people need to assist you." or "The sales group needs to assist you." or "I've never heard of that bundle. You must need to do it online." I even got one who argued with me that my number had nothing to do with Verizon and I was clearly not a customer.

I've been trying to sign up for this bundle since the day it was announced and have not found anyone who can help me.

I guess its great to say you have a bundle to attract new customers but God help existing customers who'd like to take advantage of it....

My dry loop DSL is in a former GTE area in North Carolina so nothing ever works correctly for us with Verizon.
