| How will this? Compete with FIOS 622/155 per CO soon to be 2.5/1.25 per CO and that is shared among 32 users. |

That's not per CO it's per optical splitter. COs are kinda irrelevant for the purposes of the FIOS network and are just somewhere to put equipment. There's no overwhelming need for FIOS to go anywhere near its' nearest CO, it depends on optical budgets.
If you think that Verizon won't be overbooking the backhaul from the splitters in a pretty big way I want some of what you are smoking 
Trust me Verizon aren't going to be guaranteeing you or anyone else on their service nearly 100Mbit of bandwidth.
I'm aware that people get their maximum rated speed all day and night on FIOS but give it time to get more popular, and for Verizon to increase the headline maximum data rate and this will change to reflect the Japanese model some more where the crunch points are in the network core, not the edge. You can have your full speed to your neighbour 24x7 but leave your local area or your provider's network and you will see degredation. |

| Well it isn't fair to evaluate what happens once it leaves the providers network. We don't know how much Verizon will oversell, but at the very least the bottleneck will be further up Verizon's network than on the Cable network. |
