So, does that mean that the first few articles that popped up when I googled "fios vs comcast cable" are flawed? I'm not too gullible to be proven wrong by research or facts that my search did not produce. Did you find any research to dispute these articles?

Manageability - Verizon FiOS Evaluated Versus Comcast Cable Internet

I'm on a waiting list for FIOS 15/5 service that costs about the same as 3/.7 cable or 3/1 DSL.
From basic to the advanced Comcast, it just doesn't seem to be close.

I find that one to be amusing, seriously. Sure, the pricing on that bundle is competitive with the FiOS bundle of the same speed, but Comcast also was careful to point out their max speed of 16/2. Now, when I left Comcast Internet for FiOS Internet, Comcasts maximum speed was 8/0.768, so they have definitely improved a bit. However, my initial FiOS speed was 30/15. Today, I am on 50/20. There is just no comparison between FiOS at 50/20 and Comcast at 16/2. Comcast simply can’t touch FiOS.
