FiOS 50/20 is $90 per month in areas where there's competition, including in NYC. So a little cheaper than CV for higher-upload service and no $300 activation fee.
If I had $200 per month to burn I'd probably get myself a 150/35 connection, but honestly I'd probably end up getting the $60 20/20 tier from DSLExtreme over anything Verizon sells directly.
