change in programming

[dreeher]

We have really enjoyed our Verizon Fios, but are very upset about the change in programming.  How is it that you can take Hallmark movie channel from the package along with 9 other channels, yet raise the price?  Then we have no option of paying extra for the Hallmark Movie channel, but if we take the cheaper package it includes the Hallmark Movie Channel, but removes about 30 other channels and YET the price will be what we're paying now for all those channels.  This is very frustrating.  I'm going to check into AT&T as you can record up to 4 programs on one box.  Come on, Verizon please don't chase everyone away with such a change in programming and price.  Then many of those programs you put in the package are ones I wouldn't even watch.  I'm very sad about this and as much as I hate change and have enjoyed Verizon I will be looking to see what's out there.
