FIOS 3/1 plan - $19.99/mo for a year with home phone service

This must be targeted towards those on 1mbps DSL. First time I've seen a FiOS Internet plan slower than 15mbps.

FiOS customers with both TV and Internet service have been getting a 5mbps download boost for some time now (e.g. 15mbps becomes 20mbps) to accomodate Video on Demand services. That would make it a hot deal to get 8mbps for $19.99/mth. But if you did want TV service thru FiOS, it'd probably be cheaper to just bundle into a Triple Play package in which the Internet speed starts at 15mbps anyways.
 
Now if they can lower their best plan (150Mbps download and 35Mbps in my area) to 100 bucks a month (currently $195) I will jump 😛
 
I'm surprised fios isn't where I live. I live in West LA its very dense here. The planner doesn't even recognize my street.

Not exactly. The deal apparently includes landline phone too. For people who basically just check email and stuff, it's actually a good deal. (my parents)

Also Comcast has 250 GB bandwidth cap, sells your personal browsing habits and collections information, and sacrifices virgin blood whenever there's a full moon.

No, the price doesn't include landline phone service...the price is dependant on having landline phone service.
 
With Magicjack $20/year, and our watching patterns shifting more to netflix, I am starting to only want internet bandwidth and forget their phone and TV service.

FIOS can't come to my area fast enough.

Probably won't come at all. I pulled a Verizon guy aside who was working on phones lines and he said as far as he knew, Verizon had no plans to expand coverage due to costs.

From what i have heard if verzion hasn't announced it is covering your area it wont be coming period.
 
A town supervisor I know from a nearby town told me that it is the local towns that determine whether or not a service like FIOS can have access. In my town, they granted monopolies to the local phone company (Frontier) and the cable company (Time Warner).

I called the FCC and they told me that there is nothing an individual can do about it.
