The FIOS $$$ worked for me when Verizon incor****ated Television.  I could 
drop and combine the internet, phone and TV for near the same price as 
Verizon DSL, POTS and Comcast cable.  I am realizing about 15 bucks a
month 
more with this combination.  If I had long distance calls to pay for I
would 
see a break even or a savings.

The configuration on FIOS includes the slower Internet offering, the IP 
phone service with no CONUS toll charges and the base TV service with no
HBO 
or special offerings.

For me the big bonus is the Up load speed.  I take care of several web
sites 
and sitting at the DSL upload speed is..........slow.   I see 1402k bps 
upload (5199k down).

But there is no accounting for Network Congestion.
