FiOS

Fi OS is Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises service. It's probably best known on the Internet for being incredibly fast, and for a commercial starring Michael Bay where he demands things to be "awesome".

Originally, Fi OS was phone and data only, but they've since added Fi OS TV, a full digital cable TV service that competes directly with Comcast and the satellite companies. The service uses the newer Motorola QIP boxes, instead of the rather antiquated Cisco/Scientific Atlanta boxes Comcast prefers.

Like most FTTP services, it's only available in a few places, mostly suburban neighborhoods on the East Coast. Verizon's archrival AT&T has a competing service called U-Verse.
