said by iansltx:CenturyTel has 15 Mbp FTTH.
Embarq also has a limited trial in Las Vegas from what I heard.
But they certainly aren't as aggressive as Verizon is with FiOS. When they bring fiber to the home in Northwest NJ, I may take them up on it. But for now? I'm not going backwards in speed to ADSL2.

Also, as far as HD streaming goes, I'm pretty sure Netflix stuff is 5 Mbps or thereabouts. Ill have to try later on and count the bits going by, but I can absolutely do HD over my 8/2 connection.
I can only get 5 meg service here. It may stream HD sometimes, but not all the time.

As to reliability on Embarq, I have family in NC, who use Embarq. On holidays they have ping spikes, otherwise the connection is rock solid. Smokepings? A perfectly flat line.
I have to try smokepings here but the internet service has so far only gone out twice that I noticed.
