I used to pay $25 a month for a dialtone. Then $37 with DSL.

Then forced into FIOS with two-year contract of $66. Contract just ended. Now new price for dialtone, "unlimited calls" (I don't use this), and online access is $78.

I'm beyond pissed as there is no other place to go for services. Optimum is $80-something a month.
