I too have FIOS and I want to give the CON side of the argument so you can make a fully informed decision. What MM says is true there is a night and day difference. BUT--
FIOS from the box at the street to the side of your house is an extremely thin and fragile fiber optic cable. The install tech would not bury it deep only 2-3 inches below the topsoil. He wouldn't put it in conduit either. Squirrels, possums and raccoons dig it up and chew on it. Everything goes out of service.
The FIOS converter on the side of your house has both an outside unit and an inside unit. The inside part is for battery backup. The battery is key, if your power goes out you have about 2 hours before everything goes dark - Internet, TV, and phones. In the past phones were powered independently of your household, if your power went out you still had a phone and could call the problem in.
This may deserve a separate discussion thread.
