They are pushing expansion of it hard, investing $500 to $1000 per installation, even though they only charge perhaps $60 to $120 per month, depending on what you buy. The service is rock solid, and the data rates excellent.
I have the cheapest internet service available via FIOS, providing a solid 5 mbits down, 2 mbits up, with none of the -dramatic- throttling of upstream bandwidth that I got with Comcast back in Kalifornia if I started sharing files with BitTorrent.
If I wanted, I could get up to 20 or 40 mbits, both up and down, for a very reasonable price.
Verizon likes it because it gives them total lockin on all phone, video and data services. Once they have the upper hand in enough markets with it, I would not be surprised to see my rates to up. But meanwhile, it's a great deal.
$120 for all three services with that?
