FIOS is the best ISP I've ever had. Period. I've had it 4 years in Northern VA and had an outage or slow service all of twice.
Comcast is hands-down the WORST ISP I've ever had. Constantly slow connection speeds in evenings and constant outages.

FIOS is the best at the moment, wait til google fiber builds its infrastructure then go for that. Don't ever support Comcast by the way, they're complete scumbags for the whole net neutrality fiasco that happened a while back.

Better? That depends. I have Verizon FiOS, and have maybe 2 hours total outage, spanning several years.
My previous provider, Cox cable...well, the less said about them the better.
Other people have had different experiences.
What, if any monthly usage caps are there for each service? Verizon (theoretically) has none.
What is the monthly price? Is that an introductory that goes up in 2 years?
I don't know about the ATT fiber install, but the Verizon install is non-trivial. Be prepared to block out several hours.
And do NOT let the guy leave until you have the system verified and working on YOUR equipment. A previous FiOS install was the absolute height of cluelessness.

Well it really depends entirely on the speed they give you.
I'm getting like 120Megabits down and 12Megabits up for $189 3-way bundle (tv, internet, phone that I only have because it's like $10 cheaper to get phone service and never use it then to not get phone service)
