I have a bundled package - Phone, TV & Internet through Verizon (FiOS). $99 per month, plus equipment ($5 per receiver, $15 for HD multi-media DVR). The upgrade from 5/2 to 10/2 was free, but I did have to call and ask for it. My guess is competing cable companies are offering 10/2 in some/most areas, so Verizon felt it necessary to bump up their standard service.

Before FiOS was available in my 'hood, I was paying $46/month for 5/2 from Comcast. But, as a I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, I usually tested at 3.5/1.5.
