You've Heard of the 'Triple Play': Internet, Wired Phone and Video Services; Now Verizon Offers the 'Quad Play' Multichannel News

Verizon Communications, which offers the FiOS video service, announced it will offer a "quad play" starting in its Northeast and Mid-Atlantic markets, Multichannel News reports.

The  quad play offers wireless phone to the traditional triple play.

According to the article, " 'While we've long offered customers the opportunity to add their [Verizon Wireless] charges to a one bill option, it wasn't really a bundled option that provided savings over the separate purchase of the service(s),' Verizon spokesman Bob Elek said in an e-mail."

The bundling will save customers between $59 and $179 annually, Multichannel reported.
