FIOS is awesome but

I'm not convinced FIOS provides any faster Netflix than Comcast. There's just a self-selection among more tech-savvy folks to FIOS, and hence they have the networks and devices capable of running Netflix faster.

Any home gateway within the last four or so years will have the bandwidth to push a 1080p Netflix stream, just as almost any modern device will have the capability for a 1080p stream. It doesnt take much.

It's about the network, not the gateway device. A lot of people are still using devices that don't have SuperHD, are 720p-only, or stuff like Wiis that are SD-only.
