I just recall that AT&T Whitacre fool crying the "tubes are gonna burst"... yet really?
Just because your driveway is really, really wide doesn't mean you can get to the city any faster during rush hour.
The analogy with Fios is more so:
Just because your driveway, neighborhood streets, and county roads are really really wide, doesn't mean you can get to the city in another jurisdiction any faster during rush hour.

Within Verizon's network, whether it's last mile, regonal, or long haul, they designed it from the ground up.

If we were talking about other network technologies, that oversubscribe, advertise higher rates then available, use vines and sand to throttle traffic, nontransparent caps, or share last mile connections amongst 250 to 500 people... Well, then I'd totally follow your analogy. I'd probably add one more thing about the pavement being pitted or something
