Does Verizon even really offer the advertised "Local Digital" plan for $12.99 a month?

In the first image, look at the rightmost column, and in the 2nd image, it is advertised for $12.99 a month.
This is what I want to downgrade our TV service to. 
Yet, I am getting ALL SORTS of conflicting information from Verizon reps on phone. Some say they do not offer it, some say I cannot subscribe to FIOS Internet if I go with this plan (which I think is absurd). 
What will it take to truly switch to this TV plan, while keeping my FIOS Internet? Obviously the Verizon reps on the phone cannot seem to come to the same consesus as to whether or not they truly offer this plan... 
Thanks in advance. 

It's possible that you are coming out of a remote terminal or remote DSLAM, rather than a full blown central office. Verizon seems to have an unspoken rule or habit of only provisioning 3Mbps and below to customers on the remotes. To augment that, it's been seen in some cases that they are running Fiber to the remotes, but only supply the equivalent of several T1 circuits rather than OC-3 Fiber or better.
To find out why the speeds are being limited, we would need to know what kind of DSLAM is in use, and how far you are from the nearest Verizon CO. The attenuation you have suggests you're one mile of wire length away from the source of DSL, which is either an RT or a CO. From that point, we would also need to find out what kind of connectiivty Verizon has running to your DSLAM.
If you're coming out of a CO instead, it's also been seen that Verizon has a habit of selling only 3Mbps out of congested COs or those with lesser connectivity running to the CO.
The thing you can do, is pressure Verizon into giving you at least 7Mbps. With those stats you should have no problems at all. It's going to take weeks of pushing to get the job done, but it is possible. I'd start off by calling Techincal Support, who would be able to assist with this. Emphasize to ignore the availability database - this is just a bunch of records controlled by what Verizon wants to input in.

    I understand I will still be getting 3 gigs of data for the $50, I would just like to continue to have the free 1 gig promotion I was already getting, if you Verizon was willing to do it before then why can't they continue to do it now?

    Like Ann154 said, changing plans often results in the loss of any promos you may have.  In your case, it makes no difference to the price you will pay - you'll have 3 GB for $50.  Whether you have 1GB free, or a better price on the 3GB plan is a wash.  I'd leave things alone....

  • Does iTunes 11 still offer the radio streams that the previous editions did?

    Does iTunes 11 still offer the radio streams that the previous editions did? For instance I could listen to Canadian Brodcasting from all over Canada, or NPR stations in different cities. I know they've added a Pandora like feature, but I'd like to keep the streaming radion feature as is.

    via: http://tuneworks.biz/
    quote "I think Apple have taken a wrong turn with the new iTunes 11 update by removing some key features. Most concerning for this this writer is the removal of the user generated iMix ecosystem.  I am asking iTunes to bring back the iMix and I encourage you to do the same at their feedback page http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I believe honest word of mouth  is the best recommendation and the iMix ecosystem contains plenty.  There are over zealous self promoters and fanatical fans in there  too but at least the content its real opinion and generated by real people.  Which is far better that the beefed “Listeners Also Bought” box which just looks like machine generated advertising to me."
    I just sent them feedback I suggest everyone do so.

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:

    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

  • The version of iOS on does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK

    Getting this error message as of this morning: The version of iOS on “iPad” does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed below, or update to the latest version of the iOS SDK. I've downloaded the latest SDK and gone through the usual turn off and turn on again for iPad and computer, removed and reinstalled the iPad from Organizer and have no idea how to make apps build now. I was prompted to update the iphone too but there's no way I'm updating it if this issue can't be resolved.

    Okay these are the steps I took to solve the problem - they may not be the right ones for you but they've solved the problem and saved time hunting for some other solution. Firstly I changed my MAC system to Lion with the £20 download, then I deleted the old Xcode and installed the new version that is app based and doesn't support Snow Leopard, then all was well. I can now update my xcode via the app which is quicker and more logical and can update my iPhone rather than chug along avoiding updates as I need to update my existing apps on the app store and upload a new one.

    And now that my contract has expired, I have some options.  Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave.  The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier.  I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down.  And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice.  Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
    I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

  • I purchased the Creative Cloud Photography Plan for 9.99 and I cannot gain access to Photoshop, just Lightroom. It worked for night I purchased it and now I cannot open up Photoshop.

    I purchased the Creative Cloud Photography Plan for 9.99 and I can't open up Photoshop.  I had access to it the night I bought it online and now I cannot use it. Will someone help figure this out.  Perhaps I'm an idiot and just missing an obvious step so I apologize for that but, I still NEED HELP!!!

    I have a laptop with a Windows operating system (not lucky enough to have a Mac) and as far the Adobe version, it's the plan for 9.99 that Adobe is offering.   I was under the impression that the Creative Cloud Photography Plan included Photoshop and Lightroom, the latest versions of both, because that's what it said when I purchased it.  I'm sorry my information is too limited or not detailed but, it's a pretty basic concern. I bought something,  it's not working and I want to know why.  Thank you and apologies for sounding rude. Thank you for responding as well.

  • What's with the 3Mbps limitation on DSL, and why does Verizon refuse to offer higher?

    Verizon's High-speed Internet website states they have two services offered above my 3Mbps plan. I've spoken to a few people at Verizon's customer service center (including a supervisor), and all are adamant on their stance that they cannot offer a higher service for my area (southwestern PA).
    It was stated that the max speed is determined based on the distance from the central office. The thing is, the central office is located in my town, and I'm just under a mile away from it.
    According to ADSL2+ specifications, the highest download speed advertised is 24Mbps. The modem I have currently claims it can reach an attainable rate of 17Mbps. All ADSL standards (aside from two oldest ones that are irrelevant since my current 3Mbps is higher than them and Verizon isn't using them) go above 3Mbps. The supervisor I spoke to had no idea what a ADSL2+ standard was, and was unable to tell me what standard Verizon is actually offering; but I could probably find out from the modem diagnostics page or something.
    So with all that in-mind, Verizon offers DSL packages that are higher than my current tier (the highest being 7.1 to 15 Mbps), the max ADSL2+ speed being 24Mbps, and the max attainable rate for my modem is 17Mbps with me being less than a mile away from the central office. And even after all that, Verizon is intent on stating they don't offer higher speeds than 3Mbps, and are adamant in stating they cannot provide higher speeds than that.
    I'm also on Verizon's Double-play bundle with DirecTV. The speed restriction is even more insulting considering you can't even use DirecTV's On-demand service without the internet speed crawling to a halt. And if the internet is being used prior-to using On-demand; On-demand becomes unusable.
    So.. does anyone know what is up with this? I'm paying for "High Speed Internet Enhanced", and I'm getting speeds not even respectable of that (compared to today's standard), paying $44/month for it, and even though all technical aspects say they can bump the speeds up higher; they refuse to.
    I can use public WiFi that offers faster speeds for free. I can connect to any xfinitywifi hotspot and get pretty close to double the speeds I'm paying for. Can even tether to my slow cell phone with barely-supported-in-my-area 3G and get better speeds. There's zero reason why a paid landline connection can't go faster than those...
    I find the situation pretty ridiculous, and have even filed a FCC complaint about it.

  • Is Verizon going to offer the 32GB and/or 64GB models of the Galaxy S 4?

    I have been waiting for months for information about this phone.  It has come out incrementally in very small bites and, slowest and most grudgingly of all, from Verizon.  Now, finally, Verizon has offered pre-order of the 16GB model.  I don't want the 16GB model.  I want, at least, the 32GB.  If that had been offered, I'd have pre-ordered today.  Now, I don't know what to do. 
    The "sales associate" I spoke with said she had no information concerning the 32GB model other than it is not offered now.  Will it ever be offered?  She has no information about that. 
    This is to be my first smartphone.  So, it is my first experience with the whole smartphone buying experience.  I am totally disgusted with the entire experience.  I'm tired of Googling every day for any scrap of information.  I'm tired of the stupid game the provider companies play with their customers.  Do they think they gin up interest and therefore increase sales by withholding information and leaving everyone interested to speculate amongst themselves about simple questions like which carriers are going to offer a phone, when each carrier might offer it, and when and if the different available models will be offered? 
    I am not among the demographic groups that find it important to be the first to own a new device, I have only been anxious because I have finally decided it's past time to join the smartphone revolution and this seems like the best one to get.  However, you can only keep someone on the edge of anticipation so long before that anticipation deflates and I guess that's what has happened to me.  Today I reached the "screw it" point.  I have a perfectly good old LG that has served me well as a basic phone and I have an iPod Touch that does everything else I need, for now, with unlimited free data, so what's my hurry anyway?
    Plus, in the course of searching for information on these forums, today, I discovered that there appears to be a long-term problem with Verizon and Samsung phones in the basic reception department.  While I love the idea of a pocket computer, I still primarily care about having a functional phone. 
    I realize that nowadays, with these super giant companies, individual customers are invisible and 100% powerless.  Verizon doesn't care what even large blocks of customers think.  Oh, the arrogance...
    Thanks for nothing Verizon.  Keep your **** secrets.  I'm moving on to other interests.
    (Apologies to forum members--I know Verizon doesn't read here or care, but I can't get through to them and I had to vent somewhere.  Also, if someone could answer my question, I'd be really grateful.  Unfortunately I doubt that anyone can.)

    As I understand it, the 64GB S4 is exclusive to AT&T - at least, for now. Sprint and T-Mobile don't have that either.
    Sprint's pre-ordering for the S4 is closed until tomorrow. ("Sorry, we're out of stock. PRE-ORDER CLOSED - CHECK BACK ON 4/27") I don't know if that means they haven't started yet or ran out of the first pre-order stock. Sprint is only offering the 16GB model on the web site. On their web store, AT&T is only offering the 16GB model. They've already announced the 32 and 64GB models, but they aren't available via pre-order. T-Mobile isn't giving out any details about their S4 yet. They are just taking names.
    This may just be a manufacturing choice. It may be that Samsung's S3 sales were overwhelmingly skewed to the low-end model, so they are making mostly the same on the first runs of the S4. As the production of the 32GB model ramps up, we may see it offered as well. I also wouldn't be surprised if the higher capacity models are only available in stores in a ploy to get customers in front of a representative so they can be upsold/crosssold accessories, insurance, etc. It makes sense in that if you are willing to pay $50 more to get a part that costs $2 more to manufacture, you probably have money for other things.
    As far as the expansion slot, I'm somewhat afraid of it. I originally heard this on a podcast and have been able to partially confirm it. The NAND (aka flash) memory used in devices like this is binned according to how many write cycles it can perform before failing. (Reading doesn't wear it out.) The highest quality is being used in solid state disk drives (SSD drives) since a lot of writing is expected. Within those, NAND is binned for enterprise, pro and consumer models. The next quality bin is used for devices like phones, cameras (internal memory), and tablets, where a lot of write cycles are expected, but not quite the level of those used for SSDs. For both of the previous uses, the memory is not user replaceable if it fails so reliability is important. After that is a bin used for USB drives. It fails often by comparison, but is simple to replace - buy a new one. At the very bottom, is the bin used for SD, mini-SD, micro-SD card, Compact Flash and the like. Basically, those can be expected to fail. They are also easy to replace - with new ones. The recommendation was to either use them as semi-permanent storage by writing to them very sparingly (e.g, once) or never put anything on them you don't have a copy of somewhere else.
