This is not really relevant to us here in WNY but once FIOS TV becomes available it looks as if it will be pretty competative with DirecTV, Dish and TW. > **[Verizon reveals plan to launch 150 HD channels by the end of '08](https://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/verizon-revels-plan-to-launch-150-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-08/)** > > Verizon FIOS customers have been feeling left out of the great HD race lately. Sure they have access to some of the fastest Internet connections in the US, but... First things first, we don’t even have FIOS Internet everywhere much less TV. ---

Fios is available at my house now. Got the door hanger 2 days ago. 69.99/month for 20 down 5 up + unlimited domestic phone. 2 year agreement. Even more interesting was the little flyer had info about FIOS TV, so I’m guessing it’s coming soon. ---

You got any hookups for new people? Pretty sure my contract is up with Cingular so I could package high speed, home phone, and cell. ---

I would then suggest a digital phone service for home (i’m not familiar with any offerings from vz landline, but i would assume the offer something) ---

That’s exactly what they offered on the flyer in my neighborhood, plus a free digital camcorder (probably the shittiest one known to man). So they aren’t offering any other discounts if you add a cell plan with that. Pretty stupid on Verizon’s part. Package deals are where the big bucks are and it makes retention so much easier since people don’t want to deal with breaking everything up when they leave. ---

[/quote] yea, i hear ya. im sure they can put it all on one bill, and they might even discount it further. i kinda doubt it, but ive got nothing to confirm one way or the other till we try it. then if you have direct tv you can put that on the bill too. (then when one thing messes up its even more fun to fix! lol) ---
