FIOS Internet Price Increase

[garlandtxuser]

Has anyone else recieved the notice of a price increase for the 15meg Internet service. I am curious because it appears that they are trying to force customers to use their phone service by increasing the costs of the Internet and offering a discount to do their triple plan. :

Just an FYI for anyone that has not recieved the notice. The increase is 13.00 more per month. This is an outrage!

At those rates I will have to consider going back to cable Internet just out of principle.

Well, they have to pay for the new guide since they are developing it in house.

Seriously, tho. I think you can sign up for a year and get the discount rate.

Shows $50 for the 1 year, and $58 month to month.

To be honest, they have just hooked you and are now moving their prices in line with Comcast. Comcast's 6Mbps service is $58/mo without cable ($43 with).

The "principle" argument sounds interesting, but speed is much more addicting than principle in the case of Internet access.

Last I checked, our area of Garland (which should get Fios really soon now) was Time-Warner (or was that someone else?) now, not Concast. They seem to be doing some shuffling. You may want to check yours.
