I got the 20/5 package a week ago. I'm getting constant 20/5 speeds on the speed tests, and I'm hitting 2.5MByte/sec download on usenet!! FIOS rocks :)

I get 8000/512, digital cable plus, and the high def package for 35/month. I also switch providers every year.

How is this possible? YOu mean $15 in addition to your normal base fee?

nope, $15 by itself. I called up and threatened to cancel and go with DSL for $14.99/month and they matched it

I do have comcast cable too, so that might have helped. I pay $50/month for the cable portion, which includes HBO/Showtime/HD-DVR/etc

Hmm, I checked yesterday if FiOS was available online and it wasn't. Perhaps I should give them a call and ask.

I'm willing to be it will be 10+ years until they reach me, even though I'm only an hour from DC.

In the areas that have it, there isn't much of a difference price-wise with Verizon FiOS and Cablevision.

For here, FiOS is $94.99 for TV/Internet/Phone (Internet is 20/5). The HD-DVR would bring it to the $110 that you're paying ($14.99/month).
