  Verizon is out here in my neighborhood (western Chester County)  
working on the FIOS install regularly (at least two or three days a  
week).

 I recently got an offer from Comcast (which is my only option right  
now for High speed, low latency Internet) to add "basic" cable to my  
existing cable modem service for the same price I pay now - with the  
side effect that my cable modem service will be faster, as well as  
cheaper.  I'm guessing that they figure I'm more likely to ditch
them in favor of FIOS if I only buy one service from them, so they're  
trying hard to push the bundling.

 Since I have Dish Network, I'm unlikely to add TV service from  
either Verizon or Comcast.
