Had both. Fios maybe a little faster but why is it such a big deal? You're sitting on your butt doing nothing anyway so why is .5 of a second an issue?
optimum just offered triple play with 200 internet, Promotional HBO & Showtime, muti room DVR & pay off Verizon ETF for $99/month (inlcludes all modem/router rental fees.
I'm paying $140 for Fios with a little less of everything. Fios also won't let me switch to the new gigabit promotion because I'm already under contract. No contract for optimum. So worst case scenario, I switch back to Fios as a new customer and get the gigabit pricing.
How much is too much speed? I'm a techie and don't really understand the gigabit fascination, especially at their current price offerings. We pay $125 for triple play including 50/50, and they want that much for internet only, speeds that we'll (as a family) hardly ever make use of or benefit from. It's not like memory/storage where you buy once and future-proof. You can also compare it with scaling horsepower in cars. 300hp is more than enough unless you're going to track it.
