You should have posted prices for comparing :-p
Small-Business, Internet-Only pricing in my area (Harrisburg, PA):
2 Yr contract, dynamic IP
15/5 = $70
50/25 = $80
75/35 = $100
150/65 = $190
300/65 = $280
2 Yr contract, static IP
50/25 = $100
75/35 = $120
150/65 = $210
300/65 = $300
No contract, dynamic IP
15/5 = $80
50/25 = $90
75/35 = $110
150/65 = $200
300/65 = $290
No contract, static IP
50/25 = $110
75/35 = $130
150/65 = $220
300/65 = $310 |

Plano, TX | Yeah I was hoping they would have put the 150/65 in a lower price bracket and make the 300/65 that high $210 one, instead they just invented a higher bracket for it and put the 150/65 on the old high price point. Oh well guess I'll go with 75/35  |

So jealous! I'd love to roll out FiOS at our office. Unfortunately Comcast seems to have the monopoly in our business park! |

Yeah.. these prices are crap.. I am definitely going to be switching one of my lines from business to residential as one is dynamic. I may even consider doing the other one too as the only reason I have business is to have a static IP and I don't think its worth paying $100/month just for a single static IP.

The TOS is pretty much open-ended, they could decide at any time to cut your line if your usage is high(according to them). How many people actually have the TOS enforced on them? |

So what's the best way to upgrade from 35/35 to 75/35? It looks like my price for business static in my area will only increase by $5 based on online prices, but their system says I can't do it online due to an error... what. :\ |

Plano, TX | Yeah I had to call in and talk to sales to have it changed |

Yea, I called in to upgrade from 35/35 to 75/35.. its only about 5-10$ difference anyway. The 150/65 and 300/65 were breaking the budget on top of the 61 IPs (120/mo).
A verizon rep suppose to call me back tomorrow because her system wasn't allowing the upgrade from 35/35 to 75/35 (apparently only 50/25, 150/65, 300/65) strange. |

If that comment was directed at houkouonchi, he runs VPN tunnels to his servers. So in that regard, all Verizon can see is encrypted point-to-point traffic, not an open server.
If you were pointing that to someone else, then, um, well.... please disregard. |

I thought my speeds will automatically increase to 75/35 but I guess not. I do have 35/35 static and I will call Verizon tomorrow. I hope they won't be increasing my monthly price since it cost the same as the previous 35/35 at $119 static with 2 year contract. |
|
| That is what I'm hoping to achieve... if someone can fix their darn system so I can upgrade. |

Plano, TX | Mine actually stayed the same |
|
| So it looks like they updated the website and I have no choice to upgrade to 75/35. Looks like 150/65 or 300/65. |
