Broadband monthly rates drop under $20 with no strings attached. interesting. verizon optic broadband.. crews are installing up to 70 homes a day. no idea of how many crews. each day they continue to fall behind. we had optic installed in our housing development late june, tuned up late nov. orders started being taken first of dec. we had comcast in development for last twenty years. already half the development has switched to optic cable with verizon. $35. mo two year contract 5m rate and free installation to include wireless. six months ago the rate of Fios was $29. a month. seems broadband at lower rates in my area of philly is questionable. also next year tv will be available on optic , it will be a turn key operation. ps comcast may drop broadband rates if they keep losing customers like they are in this development. people just want to get off comcast and get on optic and their own dedicated line. it if just great. also your house phones are connected to optic line from the house. now i can hear people clearly and like they are right in the room.
