That's actually for 15/5 but yes, still a ripoff. FiOS was made for faster connections..hell you can get 50/20 for just $10 more per month...

So, they hide the severe cost increase with the unattainable service of 300Mb/sec that won't be available to anyone.
"Oh, I'm sorry, that speed is not currently available in your neighborhood."

Verizon is really becoming Apple. I guess the world sees Apple screwing the world and figures why shouldn't they?

And oh, what are the caps???


Oh, Im sorry... Did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

I have 35M/35M and pay $39.99 per month. I think the above prices are the official rates but nobody pays them. I did get an email if I wanted to go to 75/75 for another $20/month.

There are no bandwidth caps that I'm aware of.

I used to want Fios but I no longer care. Verizon is getting way too greedy. I currently have cable internet for about $40/month and routinely get over 4 MB/sec download and upload of around 400 Mbps. FIOS would now be a downgrade for me when cost is figured in. It would take at least the $75 plan to equal the speeds I get for $40 now.
