I happen to live in an area where FiOS is in direct competition with my Comcast line, good news for me I got a good bump in connection speed. I maxed out at about 64mbps the other day, insanely fast just to browse the web. I know other people in the community also got a bump in speed as well from Comcast as they don't want anyone to leave (so for the same price I get a bump in speed, go consumerism!).
But I have also heard good things about FiOS but make sure your neighborhood has access to it. Also in regards to your friends server David, I tried to do that once with Verizon, they saw the bandwidth traffic and blocked the port 80 incoming requests, that's when I called up and they said I was violating my TOS when I decided to host a web server at a residential IP address.

FiOS isn't available to me yet but I will keep watching. What's RCN? In any case it looks like Comcast has a monopoly on all non-DSL, consumer-type broadband in my area. F... Fooie. Many thanks to all.

It's so fast!! A friend of mine runs a server successfully through it using dyndns.org. -- David Mintz http://davidmintz.org/ The subtle source is clear and bright The tributary streams flow through the darkness
