I just signed up also, they are offering a "19 lcd tv or a $200 gift card for WorstBuy in my area for the same deal. I am in New York. I am taking the 200 gift card and will use it towards a Hidef or blue ray player. They actually were ready to install today, and I called them yesterday...that is fast. I had to say no, I want it done on a Saturday.

The new plan has maximum download and upload speeds of 20 megabits per second. It will cost $65 per month with an annual contract for those who have a Verizon phone plan, or $5 more for those without.
By raising the upload speed, Verizon is taking advantage of the capacity of fiber optics in a way that's very hard for cable companies to replicate. The cable service involves sharing capacity among neighbors.

The plan is available initially in Verizon's New York, New Jersey and Connecticut FiOS service areas, which are mostly suburbs. In those areas, Verizon faces competition from the country's most sophisticated major cable company, Cablevision Systems Corp., and it's generally where Verizon raises FiOS speeds first.

Hmm, wish they could make up their mind.

The site says service available at my address, their sales reps say not.

Still, good deal if you can get it.

If their web sit pre qaulifies you when you enter you phone number or adr, then IT IS available, and the rep is WRONG.
P.S. I think UPS is the best delivery out there.

I did not ask, however by my experience that kind of offers ufortunately are available to the new subscribers only, but call and check.

I have FIOS internet and cable TV and i received this triple play offer in the mail. So this is not just for new customers. I currently rent now and i am not sure what will happen if i move to a place were FIOS is not available. I did ask them about this situation when i extended my internet contract and the CSR said i will not have to play the early termination fee if i move to a place where they cannot offer their service.

And also can anyone, who has triple play, tell how much their bill is with all the fee.

My bill rite now is 34.99(internet) + 39.99(cable) + 13.99 (HD DVR), my bill with all the fee is aroung 96 to 97.

HD cable on FIOS is really good (my friends who have Timewarner told me). DVR is ok but not bad mine is Motorola 6XXX

mindaugasl said:I got a letter by mail with an offer for FIOS Tripple Freedom (5/2 Mbs Internet, TV, PHONE) for 99.99 per month plus 100 USD AMEX gift card after first month of service and another 100 USD AMEX gift card in a year. Two year contract required. I have called to ask about this offer and asked about getting faster internet for extra money and the customer service lady said that they are running a special and she can include a 20/5 mbs internet for the same 99.99 price for two years! A great deal, I would say, for the blazing fast speed internet! My installation is scheduled November 7. Other fees/charges - one time activation fee 19.99, HDTV box 9.99 per month, SDTV box 3.99 a month, free isntallation up to 3 TV's and one PC, they give tou free router. I am in Montgomery County, MD and the phone number on the letter is 1-866-295-2009, there is no offer code, just mention 200 USD AMEX gift cards and ask about 20/5 mbs internet promotion.

To check if FIOS is available in your area check FIOS

could you scan and host the letter ??
Im going to try and see if i can get in on this offer (fairfax county).

I wish we could get FIOS here in the SF Bay Area. COMCRAP sucks

Don't fool yourself into thinking that. My address pre-qualified, and it took 1yr and 1 month of wrangling with Verizon to get it because I was a few houses away from the end of the fiber light, and they had to run new fiber in another direction to reach the other side of my development, but first it required approval from the county commission, etc. Secondly, the agents even said i qualified, but when they came to do the install, they did it.... and nothing happened. I had to deal directly with the dig crew burying the fiber. So, The website AND CS ain't the end all...

not available in my area. gotta wait.

Anyone know if you can get get rid of the HD Box, get an HD Tuner card for my Media PC and it will show HD? I know with comcast HD is an option you have to pay (I have basic servie, no digital) so throwing in an HD card would do nothing. Is fios always sending an HD signal and the 9.99 box does the converting to the tv?
