According to the newspaper report, Verizon is offering a package of unlimited phone calls, high-speed Internet and cable TV for $104.99 per month with a two-year commitment. Comcast has an introductory three-product bundle for $99 that rises to $129.79 after a year.
Verizon does not have an agreement to carry Comcast SportsNet Northwest, which carries Portland Trail Blazers National Basketball Association games, according to the newspaper, which said Verizon rolled out FiOS Internet more than a year ago.
