Just checked my up/down speeds via speedtest dot net, dl was 100 mbps, ul was over 7. I have Comcast cable, they can do this `cause the signal is delivered via rf. Fwiw, I also have their fone service, it has been best bang for the buc, $25.00 @ mo, nationwide, no additional long distance fees, I am a happy camper.

verizon offers both dsl and fios (fiber) depending on where you live and how much you want to 
spend, naturally service over fiber is way better  internet wise, i’ve certainly heard 
stories of people having some interference from various cpe that fios uses but not always. 
depends on the box you might get etc…

comcast, typically delivers over coax, lots of areas are now upgraded to service to 
the house via fiber,  but mostly still coax  either way  pretty great speeds, as well, 
 again def heard of  complaints of interference can’t speak for everybody  but 
lots of folks had success   being interfarance free, google is your friend  as to how 
it was mitigated

best of luck

I don’t know what FIOS means.

I have Comcast here and it’s via cable.  I have not experienced any RFI from it 
nor do I bother it with RF from my amp, which is full legal. My internet connection is 
very fast.

Explain what FIOS is.

I'm thinking of switching from Verizon DSL to Comcast FIOS for faster and more 
reliable internet.

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.
