I was probing around for internet tv services (I'm considering
dropping cable/sat/.. and moving to AppleTV + "home theater" or
similar .. i.e. "internet tv") and happened across a NFL football site
that offers HD service through something called FiOS .. which I hadn't
seen before.
Apparently there's a very nifty broadband service evolving:

Here's an older survey on it:

One interesting statement they make is: The results are clear. If
speed is what you're after, go with FiOS first, cable second and DSL
last. (I'd be suspicious of the DSL/Cable difference, given the
shared nature of cable.)
Has anyone tried FiOS? Unfortunately it is not available in Santa
Fe .. we're a bit third world, alas. But maybe it'll get here some
time and I'd like to know if your experiences are good.
