False advertising

[Charlie2210]

We had a door salesman sell us on service that was not honored. We were told we'd have the capability of dvr'ing 4 shows and that we'd have hbo and show time. This was enough for us to switch from comcast to fios due the services offered and the monthly savings. We now have fios and don't have hbo or show time and are limited to 2 shows recording on dvr. It took some time to realize the limitations, I can't even pause live tv which I was told I would be able to do. Turns out I can upgrade to a service which provides this but Verizon wants more money. I feel taken advantage of and stuck. I am now bound by a 2 yr contract that they say I need to buy out to switch back to my previous cable provider, a cost of $230. Their salesmen sell false packages and now I'm the one that has to pay to correct it, it's just not right! IM STUCK!!!!
