Who would want FIOS? Yes its fast and they have a good network, not to mention all the hype about their TV service... (Which I could not get due to my building's infrastructure.) I had FIOS at one time in a retrofitted high-rise apartment install. In short, the result, disconnects lasting days at a time and PISS POOR customer service. Lack of cabling / account documentation on their end for my type of install and the list can go on. I won't bore you with the whole story but just putting this out there as a warning to those following the FIOS hype. When it worked, it was great but god forbid something goes wrong. Good luck!
I've had Dish, DirecTV, Cablevision, and now I have FIOS. The service is leaps and bounds better that the others.. Really not even close... If you had problems with FIOS, its because its new. I had Optimum when it first came out and there were more problems that I can remember, and everyone I knew had problems too. FIOS is the best - no doubt.

Sucks for you. I know a few people who could not be happier with their service.
