      The small print:

      "For one year after TV rebate. Plus taxes and fees. 2-year DIRECTV agmt. required. Speeds .5 to 1 Mbps."

      Let's dissect that, shall we?

      "For one year after TV rebate." Two of the most evil words in the English language: "AFTER REBATE"

      "2-year DIRECTV agmt. required" So you're offering me a one-year deal in exchange for atwo-year commitment?

      "Speeds .5 to 1 Mbps." That's megaBITS, not megaBYTES. Am I supposed to me impressed?

      Do they have a data cap? If so, what is it?

      The triple is cheaper than the double? Huh?

      #2, according to the FAQ page for FIOS at Verizon, there are no data caps, see http://www.fiosfaq.com/content.php?contentid=309 However, Verizon reserves the right to "monitor" your service if they see suspicious usage, see http://www.fiosfaq.com/content.php?contentid=27

      I have AT&T DSL service, which does have data caps, so I don't have familiarity with Verizon's service. Consider yourself lucky, Verizon's service looks a lot better to me than what AT&T offers.

      Anyone else care to comment on #2's question?

      I had Fios for a few years before moving and having to give it up for Craptastic Comcast service.

      I've moved close to 2TB in one month before and never heard a peep from them. Having 50Mb/s down and 20Mb/s made those gigs tick off mighty quickly.
