how much $$

 

[Mike2002]

15/2 is priced at $44.95 a month when it is bundled with the phone service. It is $49.95 when the internet service is purchased separately from phone service.

My old company did the drafting and engineering work for Florida What part of FL are you in?

We have FIOS internet and FIOS TV at the house now. FIOS TV is pretty awesome - better than DirecTV so far IMO, I especially like the On-Demand stuff and our DVR. (Not that it's not offered with the others, but the setup is super user friendly)

I can't see the OP, can anyone slow it down for me?

Do you have to sign a contract for FIOS like everything else verizon sells?

Um, you have to sign a contract for pretty much any internet service you sign up for. What's so bad exactly?

In regards to your area - I don't recall PA being on the hotlist for FIOS. East Coast (Boston, NY) are the prime spots, not sure where PA is in the pipeline for being wired up for FIOS. SBC could be doing that work in that area, I don't know who the bigger telecom company is in that area.

Yes, 1 year. Paying 44.95 a month bundled with phone service. Plan on getting tv service in the future (when it becomes available.) Was paying 44.95 a month for earthlink cable, and speeds were much slower.

 

[Cuda1447]

Oh yea, Im in Tampa area too.

Some Pittsburgh suburbs already have FIOS.

Oh, that work was probably done by Tesinc or some other company then. The farthest we got in those parts was Weirton, WV. (Had an office up there for about 8 months, they might have done some of the PA work, I never interfaced with them so I don't know)
