Wow -- my cable internet promo is getting ready to expire, so I decided to look at Verizon FIOS. I've had FiOS in the past and already have an ONT here (I also have an old Wescom router already).
Got a screen that said that as I was a returning customer, I qualified for some special "best price ever" promotions. These included (with a two year contract):
* 15/5 internet for $29.99
* 50/25 internet for $39.99
* 15/5 internet and Select HD TV for $39.99 plus set-top box cost and taxes
* 15/5 internet and Prime HD TV for $49.99 plus set-top box cost and taxes
I ended up signing up for 15/5 internet for $29.99 -- if it doesn't meet my needs after a few days I hope I can upgrade to the 50/25 for $10 more a month still.
But as it stands, with my 30/4 internet from Charter i rarely see speeds above 18mb anyways.
Only bad thing is that my self installation date is a week away to give them time to mail me "equipment", which in this case will be some coax as I already have my own router. I really don't need the coax -- but they won't speed up the installation date. Oh well.
