Email about swapping set top boxes

Sometime in November I received an email about swapping my homes three Motorola set top boxes (one of them has a dvr). Do I have to put in a request to start the process, because the email is worded like they are already in the process of sending the boxes.

I also currently have a new (Model number-CR1000A) router to swap out our old Antionic (red and black) MI424WR, and it needs an ethernet cable run to our outside ONT.

I'd contact sales and explain the situation. they'll set you up with the equipment you need. I'd also ask for the 4100 Fios One boxes, not the newer Fios+ boxes unless you like the characteristics of streaming.

I received the same email implying a new set top box and router was being shipped to me as my old one was โ€œexpiringโ€. I received a new router, no box, and have been bounced around 4 different departments with each person saying someone else handles this issue. Three hours just trying to get the new box sent.

Sales โ€œAnushaโ€ and โ€œJessicaโ€ were zero help, saying they didnโ€™t have the โ€œtechnical expertiseโ€ to help and transferred me to the โ€œconcern departmentโ€ which Jessica said was their tech team who dealt with sending out equipment. Aamair from the tech department said they only handle replacements, not the new upgrades and he would transfer me to customer service. This new person who didnโ€™t give their name then said if they ordered the upgraded box (that I was told I had to have because the old one would no longer workโ€ฆso, not an elective upgrade) my bill would go up because they โ€œHADโ€ to upgrade my plan.  Then also said they werenโ€™t customer service but billing department and wanted to transfer me to tech (the department that sent me over to begin with)

 

this whole thing is absolutely ridiculous and the customer service is horrible.
