Verizon halted expansion of their FiOS fiber network about two years ago.

Yep.

Maybe. Then again, I think Verizon is salivating at the cash cow that is mobile data. The more people that pick up a very expensive LTE plan, the better for Verizon's bottom line. $10/GB at best is really pricey. The speeds on LTE are compelling. The siren's call of only needing mobile data and not home and mobile data plans is likewise compelling. Yet, the pricing and caps on data are not so compelling.

Then again, perhaps Verizon's plan is to pitch LTE for mobile and HomeFusion Broadband (aka LTE) for home use. High margins I would imagine. $60 for 10GB on the HomeFusion? $130 minimum for two smartphone users and 1GB shared? Contrast $190 month minimum instead of $40-$80 for home Internet and a nice $50 prepaid plan for mobile. Yikes!!!!!
