I'm actually somewhat disappointed with FiOS TV as well. A lot of that is because I was used to Comcast, and I don't see significant gains in picture quality. The organization of ondemand on comcast and the way they split up each ondemand section by giving it its own channel is much nicer, but the FiOS box does seem pretty zippy even if the organization of everything sucks. I also really miss the ratings that were the info section for all movies in Comcast... Overall, I think if you are comfortable with your current service, it is definitely not worth switching. Re-learning the channel setup should be enough in itself to discourage you from switching...

Seriously though, unless you plan on utilizing the significantly higher upload speeds, switching is more of a pain than anything else. The other thing I don't get is - how does bringing fiber optic cables straight to my home help me if everything from the fiberoptic cable runs through a box and then has a standard coax output from which everything (tv and internet) is being split?
