We have business FIOS and have not experienced any issues so far.  Very 
fast and the Verizon GNI network is connected to MCI (AlterNet) and 
Global Crossing which are both premium backbones.  From what I 
understand from someone who works with Verizon since it is fiber it is 
run in rings meaning even if a tree knocks out the line service is not 
interrupted. It is also glass so animals will not chew it.

Thanks,
Matt
