Hey fellow FWer's! I just received $10/month off my bill by adding my Verizon Wireless account to my Triple Play (found out from a VZ Rep on dsl reports). Not sure if this is available everywhere. I tried to add it through Steve the myfiosguy.com rep but he can only add the wireless part for new customers. He did say that next week the rebates go to $375 for triple.
edit: apparently I misheard the explanation and the rebate total is actually $375

Just called FIOS to renew my bundle for a year. I haggled a $5 monthly credit and a $15.99 monthly credit for a second DVR, then added my Verizon Wireless bill to the bundle (Quad Play) for an additional $14.99 monthly credit.
It's only available on the east coast for now (list of states on that page).
I signed up for it but it is only going ot be effective 12/10 for me because I am still in my $30/mo discount for the first 6 months. if I switched now I'd lose that $30 so it makes no sense at this point. I had to extend my contract but I am happy with FiOS so it's not a big deal. I upgraded to the $109.99 plan that gives me 35/25 and Showtime.
The rep suggested signing up now with the future date because it's possible they could pull the offer and not have it available for signing up in December. I can always change it if a better offer comes along before then.
BTW the title of this thread should be made clearer, or someone should start a new thread for current customers.
I negotiated a new 1 yr contract, 2 yr price lock with internet speed of 25/15 for their triple play.
Here are the credits I was able to get. $15 credit a month for life of merged fios and vz wireless accounts. $59.97 lump sum credit for multi room dvr (bottom of my most recent bill said to call for 3 months free of this) $5.99 credit a month for a year - just because? 90 days free HBO/SkinaMax free
In all, I break out even since I had a free multi room dvr box for a yr when I first signed up. The $15 + $5.99 credits wll cover it this year. They wouldn't budge on giving credit for a box straight out. I tried and called 3 times. TVI will never go back to cable. Their HD TV and menus just aren't the same.
Does anyone know how to get around having a box on all non-HD tvs? The free digital converter boxes don't work and qam tuners seem very expensive.

I assume you mean the $40 digital converter boxes. Those are for over-the-air TV, not cable (surely you must have known this already).
You can get something they call a "digital adapter" from Verizon which is a dumb set-top box which costs $3.99 per month vs $5.99 for the normal STB.
I am going to have to check my bill and/or call Verizon again because I was told that the DVR credit was only for new DVR customers.

Thanks They're a reseller who'll give you a small cut of their commission (in the form of a gift card) on top of a cable/phone company's promotional offer. If you're not the kind to negotiate, you'll come out ahead slightly with such a reseller. But I got a better deal by negotiating with Verizon directly than what the reseller could offer me.
