competition from the country's most sophisticated major cable company, Cablevision Systems Corp.,

Go Cablevision.
Well FIOS is limited in its roll out at present and well a synchronous technology.
Cablevision offer a 30Mb download speed alongside a 3Mb upload. I'm on the 20/2 and really upload is not a noticable problem on that. 2Gb of photos onto shutterfly takes 20 minutes. I think the shutterfly servers restrict that.

Marchand said the new plan should be useful to telecommuters and others who work from home. Video conferencing, movie uploads and online backups should all benefit from the upload speed. As an example, he said a 3 gigabyte file of family movies would take 20 minutes to upload on the new plan, compared with 9 hours on a typical digital subscriber line connection.

That is disingenious wording. Comparing the upload on a poor quality ADSL line with their line vs comparing their upload to the competitions 3Mb on Cable.

Apologies, sitting over here it is a bit of a given that FiOS is Fibre, that and the FibreOpticSystem or whatever the acronym is about and the advertising about the speed of light and three different colour frequencies or something.
The other side of the pond is not subjected to the same level of FiOS advertising.

VM has Fibre, just not to the houses and FIOS was stated in the article :)
