Verizon Expands Contract-Free FiOS Offer

Verizon is widening a cable-like month-by-month pricing option for FiOS bundles across all its markets, hoping the move convinces more cable customers to dump their provider.

The telco has eliminated the requirement that customers sign two-year contracts to receive special pricing for FiOS bundles. With the offer, Verizon is guaranteeing prices for one year without an early-termination fee.

Verizon introduced the month-to-month option last month in Tampa, Fla., as well as in Pennsylvania, which "met with very favorable customer response," the telco said in announcing the expansion of the program Monday.

While Verizon has previously offered month-to-month bundles, those were priced about $20 higher per month than the contract term bundles. Now new FiOS customers can get a triple play starting at $99.99 per month (excluding taxes, fees, set-top charges and other options) without locking into a two-year contract. Early-termination fees for FiOS previously ran up to $360.

Verizon only laid out FIOS to select neighborhood's, and only when it was in their best interests, not their customers. They have stopped rolling out FIOS, a while back. If you do not have it now, you probably will not see it. Unless they start rolling out again in the future. By that time, let's hope for a lot more choices in regards to Wireless providers with close to gig' speeds. :)
