A friend of mine, another computer geek like myself, recently switched to fios from cable, and he is very happy. If I remember correctly you can buy fios in three speeds. The basic is 2 mb/s. This is more then most people need, and more then a lot of web sites can feed deliver anyways. The next step up is 15 mb/s, the speed my friend went with, and he says if he were to do it again he would have gone with the 2 mb/s because after measuring he found that most web sites can't even deliver 1 mb/s. The next level up is nearly 200 mb/s, but this is limited by your own usage of other services like phone and TV watching. He says he is paying slightly more then he was with cable, but with much higher speed. If I recall the 2mb/s service was actually less then he was paying for cable.
If I were in an verizon serviced area then I would sign up for fios myself, but I am stuck with pac bell/at&t, and they don't have anything comparable.
