I thought that FIOS was Verizon-only and that Comcast was cable-only. Neither Verizon nor Comcast are in the area in which I live (this is Charter and AT&T territory), so I have no first-hand experience of either, but my wife had experience of Comcast in her former job and found them terrible to deal with. I've read that FIOS is excellent when it works but that customer service is terrible.

And then there was the time many years ago when on Long Island Verizon dug up one of their own cables which wasn't where their plans said it was. Of course they had redundant circuits -- but all in the same cable bundle.

I'm hoping that the FIOS will be cleaner in terms of RFI. What possible
sources of RFI are there from FIOS?  Do they use signal boosters that
put out RFI?   I'm guessing the router will be the biggest source and
that chokes on that will alleviate most of it.

I'm in Philadelphia, PA and we already have FIOS lines on our street -
so perhaps they already have the signal boosters installed.
