South FL people- Fastest Internet Plans?

I'm moving locally in South Florida this weekend and want to upgrade my internet speeds as much as possible in my new house. I've been suffering mediocre internet speeds with AT&T DSL for years. What's the best bet for download & upload speeds? I don't care about voice service or tv service and any associated bundles because I am happy with Sprint cell service and DirecTV.

Looks like my options are the following for high-sped internet only: (UL Mbps / DL Mbps)

1- Comcast Residential: 20/2 Mbps, 30/5 Mbps, 50/10 Mbps & 100/10Mbps at $29/month (for 6 mo's), $49/month (for 6 mo's), $114/month & $199/month respectively, but with 250 GB monthly bandwidth caps.

2- Comcast Business: 12/2 Mbps, 22/5 Mbps, 50/10 Mbps & 100/10Mbps at $59/month, $99/month, $189/month & $369/month respectively. According to what I read online though there is supposedly no 250 GB monthly bandwidth cap.

3- Verizon FIOS (possibly, if available in the Fort Lauderdale area):15/5 Mbps, 50/25 Mbps & 75/35 Mbps at $69/month, $79/month & $89/month respectively. Looks like this with the fast upload speeds and low price may be the best bet if available.

What's your experience for the best service? Who is using Comcast or FIOS in South Florida?
