No, they still have a downgrade charge when removing equipment (but still keeping service) that you have to pay.

Perhaps it might have been cheaper to just order new service all together and cancel the old service, but that would be a pain in the butt too

Verizon is now a tv company stuck with telephone/leased line billing.

Have the Tivo installed now.

Maybe if people want, I will share my experience yesterday. Trust me. It was an epic rant. SackAttack got the full effect, and I think he laughed several times during my day from hell yesterday.
