Verizon’s flipped the switch and now offers high def video-on-demand. The press release doesn’t provide viewing fees or the differential cost over SD rentals, but they expect to provide over 1,000 HD titles within a year.
Verizon’s initial HD VOD offering contains around 75 HD titles including a mix of free programs and recently released blockbuster movies. In the coming months, the company will continue to add HD titles to its VOD library, which now totals more than 10,000 titles. HD VOD is now available over the FiOS TV systems in Richmond and Virginia Beach, Va.; Tampa, Fla.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; and Pittsburgh. It is coming soon to the FiOS systems in the Washington, D.C., metro area, Massachusetts and Rhode Island; and to Verizon’s remaining FiOS TV markets next year.

I wish this was available in my area but I’m stuck with Cablevision.
