After being forced to live with cable most my life since shifting away from dialup, fiber has been an absolute joy. I pay for 400mbps through Fios but get something like 500d/300u. It's stable, no capping non-sense I've experienced and only slightly more per month (I think I pay 20% more than cable) yet service is significantly better (I think I have 2.5-5x download before and 10-20x upload rate).

I have no desire to go back unless Verizon or one of its competitors decide to change drastically. What they're doing right now is fine, I don't even think about network service, it autopays and just works how I need it when I need it. First time I've been able to enjoy the pleasure of having fiber at home and not just work.
