Verizon Launches Voice/Data/Video Bundles in Mid-Atlantic States

Verizon launched a residential service bundle combining voice calling, DSL and DIRECTV satellite programming to customers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Verizon first began offer the DIRECTV service in Rhode Island in February and later expanded to 11 other states. Verizon said customers choosing the full bundle will save up to $370 a year - compared with purchasing the same or equivalent Verizon services at individual, standard rates.



Initially, the DIRECTV service is billed separately. Verizon expects to have coordinated billing by later this year. http://www.verizon.com
