I've had Fios for a year I just got a letter saying my 15/2 service would increase in price from $44.95 to $57.95!
Exact same for me in Maryland. Bastards!

I have not seen these mailings, but if they are as implied, the Verizon marketing department is incompetant. They are making it sound like the price is going up on these packages, when they should be telling customers that they must renew for a year if they want to continue at the lower rates.

The bundle discounts only last for the duration of the contract. Once it expires, you must renew your contract to maintain those discounts. Your price will never go up while you are under contract.

The 5/2 (10/2 where available) and 15/2 (20/5 where available) plans did not increase in price.

It can be confusing when Verizon quotes you the month-to-month (no commitment) price when you are used to paying the one-year contract price. The one-year contract and month-to-month (no commitment) prices are completely different.

For example, the $57.99 quoted to the above member is the current month-to-month price for 15/2 (20/5 where available). That's nothing new, that's the same as it was back in January.

The one-year contract price for 15/2 (and 20/5) is still $49.99/mo, which is what the above member was paying, excluding the bundle discount. In most areas, you should still be able to get the bundle discount by committing to another year of service.

Verizon has eliminated the no-contract, month-to-month bundle discounts. Now there is a single $5/mo bundle discount for committing to one-year of Internet and TV. There is a larger discount for the 'triple play' (Internet + TV + phone) two-year commitment. In some markets, Verizon also offers TV + 5/2 Internet for $70/mo with a two-year contract.

Verizon also changed how the bundle discount is applied. Last year, the bundle discount was applied to FiOS Internet, reducing the 15/2 (or 20/5) plan from $49.99 to $44.99 and the 5/2 (or 10/2) plan from $39.99 to $34.99. Now that bundle discount must be applied to FiOS TV service, reducing it from $42.99 to $37.99 for new customers or from $39.99 to $34.99 for older customers. It may also be possible to get $5/mo off the movie package in addition to that.

I did get the letter also.
Last week.
It was going to 57.99 from 39.99.
I called on the Friday they gave me a package deal.
It's for two years better phone package same Tv and Internet 15/2 It's .80 more.
So the best thing is to call them and see what they have to offer.
