Re: NEW ~ FiOS INTERNET PREMIUM SPEED PACKAGES

I got a flyer in postal mail today hawking the 20/20 service.

It says there's $15 off for the first month if you're an existing 10/2 or 20/5 FIOS customer. You can't upgrade online and you need to call in.

It says the $64.99 rate is for FIOS Internet 1 or 2 year term customers with Verizon voice service. Then it says "Rate increases after term period." The wording is odd and one would imagine, unless they already anticipate a higher rate that it would say "Rate may increase after term period."

I quizzed a phone rep about this, and was told the price DOES increase; specifically, it goes to the month-to-month rate. The way to avoid this is to sign up for another 1 or 2 year agreement.

Now we all know VZ is not bashful about price increases, so YMMV.

I'm waiting for the day they have everyone hooked on super-fast uploads that cable cannot match. Then they'll start taking some fat price increases, knowing that people will complain but won't switch to cable because they're hooked on the speed that only FIOS can deliver.

Seriously, I'm betting that VZ will become the neighborhood crack dealer, in a manner of speaking. Get you "hooked bad", then jack up the price.
