    I called the 8xx-get-fios number and they hadn't even heard of the plan.

    Knowing the average slashdot user, it's probably because you requested the "Twenty-twenty symmetrical fiber optics to the premises internet service." Next time, just ask for the "really, really, really fast internet. Please."
