FIOS triple play is offered in Northren VA at $104/month for phone/TV/Internet. I pay $10 more for faster internet and some more for extra TV channels. You may as well get all three since phone/internet costs more than the $104. I'm guessing they are giving a discount to get installations to add to their ad rates on the TV.
