My FIOS is $89/month.  That's for the 25/15 speed (standard is 15/5) and
includes phone.  The phone service has all the bells and whistles
(caller ID, call bothering, call forwarding, etc.) as well as unlimited
nationwide LD.  Given that it was costing over $30/month just for phone,
and this is several times faster than the DSL that was costing me
$29/month, I'm fine with the price...given that there isn't a cheaper
alternative and I'm making a living over it (i.e. it's a cost of doing
business).
