I just had FiOS installed at my home a few days ago... this is definitely the future.
Down 15 Mbps
Up Load 2 Mbps
It seems to be about three times as fast as cable... I'm still testing it out but it seems very fast. In the information pack it said that they will soon be offering phone and television service over the same fiber-optic line.
