Re: What's fiber exactly? fios uses Ethernet or coax in homes. So it's not even pure fiber under your guideline.
Even if I could get fios, I wouldn't praise it beyond the better uploads. One of their greatest incentives to do it is there are no laws saying they must allow ILECs use their fiber drops. And the way I see it is if they are allowed to get taxpayer dollars to fund building their network (philly), they should be forced to allow ILECs to compete on the infrastructure the taxes paid for.
It's already expensive on the lowest plan as it is. Not for the speed, but for the lowest tier possible.

Only somewhere in Texas do they get fiber all the way to the computer/tv set. To be exact: the type of cable connected to the computer/tv set is Firewire (IEEE 1394).
Please note:
#1 I can not tell where in Texas, or how much of Texas
#2 When other Cities/States will also use Firewire (IEEE 1394) to the computer/tv set.
#3 And I can tell you if which is which. It is Firewire (IEEE 1394) to the computer, Firewire (IEEE 1394) to the TV set OR BOTH.
#4 And the reason as to why: I do not recall OR I do not know.
