Optimum internet

[thejerseyguy]

That's fine.

I am trying to figure out how to port my number from optimum to someplace temporarily and then back to optimum under a new account name.

Just realize that you will pay 20 dollars to port your number out of optimum and another 40 to port it into optimum.

Got today by mail a offer for business accts for $29 (or was it $25?) phone/internet/TV for 1 year

No way. You sure? Is there an offer code?

You mean each, right?

I got internet and TV a few months ago for the same reason and when they came to instal my TV I told the guy I don't plan on using it he said if I reject the cable box I save about 7.50 a month- which I did

They ended up installing the box. Can I return it to the optimum store or is it to late and I am stuck paying every month?

Thanks for the info.

I think I will try to port it out and then back in.

Any suggestions on where I can port it to?

I'm not sure, but I think porting to Verizon is free.

by rotating it, how long will I be without service?

May not be the same, but I got an upgraded modem for boost, and I then called and canceled the boost, and got $15 off each bill (and still use the upgraded modem).

worthless the upgraded is just capable for boost but if you cancel the boost they give you reg speeds in your "upgraded" modem try a speed test and you will see

That is true, however on the other hand I had tried a speed test while I had the boost, and the speeds were about the same - So its all bull.

My promotion year just ended and they offered me $50 for just internet and "through in" faster speed for free

so let them "throw in" faster speed, then call and cancel the faster speed so u end up with 35 monthly

I live in Lakewood. My rates for phone and internet were just hiked up from $60 to over $90 per month. I called and was offered the "lowest" possible new rate of $75 a month. Is that the lowest they offer?

interesting...i'll try that and let you know. thanks

Retention department just moved me down from 90.40 a month to 74 something, and offered to give me triple play for 76 and change. Thinking if I should have taken the triple play and get free live streaming on my tablet.

Nevertheless, I'll try the move one day, after some more feedback from you guys on how it went.

I'm curious why someone would signup for voice if you can get an Ooma or simillar VOIP and run it with an Internet only plan. why pay $60+ when Internet only is $49. The device would pay for itself in under a year.

[yas]

My bill was hiked up from 30 to 60. I called and I had then give me 50 mbps instead of 15 plus phone for $55. Problem is when I do a speed test I'm only getting 20 mbps, do I need to upgrade my box?
