Verizon FiOS Announcement on Monday

Verizon is holding a webcast + conference call on Monday morning to "reveal new choices for local programming available on the Verizon FiOS TV Network in the greater New York/New Jersey region". Verizon execs will also discuss "several new promotions and compelling broadband developments".
Whether Verizon is going to up its top FiOS download speed of 50 Mbps is unclear. Other options could include some speed increases for existing tiers (as reported previously) and price cuts for some tiers. Verizon will also be offering a free Compaq netbook for FiOS bundle subscribers, according to Broadband Reports.
Not clear if this will apply immediately to the Philadelphia area, but anything announced for NY/NJ should be coming down the pike pretty soon.
