FiOS is almost certainly better than cable in terms of picture and internet speed, due to the fact that they can carry more information on their network, but Comcast has been closing the gap significantly over the past year. Interestingly enough, Qwest has also been upgrading their networks. They recently rolled out fiber to the node in my area, and are offering 40mbit internet. It seems as competition has increased significantly over the past year. Currently I have TV and Internet through Comcast, and I'm honestly satisfied with the service in my area (service quality tends to vary based on location). Although, if FiOS were available where I am, I would probably switch to that. Comcast has actually been making an effort to upgrade their networks for the past year.

Is there anyone out there consider that old school cable is actually better than Fios high speed internet? I would seem that there really is no comparison between the options when talking about the pure speed of the network and funtionlality for viewing.
