I'm visiting my parents in lovely Palm Harbor, Florida. The VZ DSL service here sucks - it's slow at night and when my dad calls up they tell him that "the internet is slow at night because it's busy". So while telling him that's BS, I see a FiOS door hanger on the table. Apparently it's been available here for months, but whenever he calls to find out what just internet or internet + phone costs they keep telling him that the three services cannot be unbundled... D'oh!
Frustrating to say the least. I'd kill for FiOS at home, yet he has it available and they won't even tell him what it would cost or what the speeds are. $99/month bundle or nothing it seems.

FiOS is still pretty good, despite the billing crap. |

If they want Internet and Phone and it is available in their area then the price is $64.99 per month. Come on by University Mall in Tampa there is a FiOS Kiosk in the mall. We can handle just about any order. Plus is you sign up before the end of the year you get a free Digital Camcorder or a $50 Best Buy Gift card for signing up. |

My understanding is that FiOS pricing and speeds vary considerably from region to region. If the kiosk guy below is correct, then I think he'd sign up in a heartbeat as long as they'd let him suspend the service for a few months over the summer like they do with current pots/dsl. |
