And just a few days after this thread verizon announces this... Beginning in 4Q 2013, New FiOS customers ordering FiOS Digital Voice (FDV) or standalone FiOS Data, Video or Data/Video will be given the option to PURCHASE an ONT Battery. If the customer declines to purchase the Battery, the installation will be completed as scheduled without the installation of an ONT battery backup.
Not sure which thread you responded to, as this one is fairly old.
Ones I previously saw where mostly just complaining that verizon was not replacing batteries for free.
One thread complained they were not getting battery IF they didn't order FIOSVoice. You are mentioning they will charge for original battery even for FIOSVoice.
