As expected (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/12/verizon-to-double-etfs-on-fios-tv-contracts/), Verizon is rolling out a new line of FiOS bundles for this perennially broadband-starved nation, and bumping up its early termination fees in the process. The traditional ETF for the installation-heavy service has been at $179, but now it's rocketing to as high as $360 to break from these fur-lined shackles. The new bundles of course don't skimp on the goodies, particularly with the 35Mbps up / 35Mbps down symmetrical service that should be a boon to HD video chats, big torrents and medium-sized torrents. For a limited time you can get into the "Prime" triple-play bundle (TV, internet, phone) for $90 a month, though that price will bump up to $110 a month after a year. Sweet enough to calm your fears about a $360 early cancellation penalty? Verizon sure seems to hope so -- no matter what sort of condescending looks (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/fcc-chariman-echoes-commissioners-sentiments-says-verizons-et/) the FCC shoots its way.Verizon unveils new FiOS bundles with symmetrical 35Mbps pipes, heftier ETFs (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/18/verizon-unveils-new-fios-bundles-with-symmetrical-35mbps-pipes/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Mon, 18 Jan 2010 11:25:00 EST.
