Fiber is in the street up to the driveway. Coax up the driveway. FIOS runs fiber to (but not into) the house, COAX within the house. No difference from a customer perspective. Either way, enough bandwidth for 8+ concurrent HDTV feeds (including at least 4 on-demand), 30/5 internet, 2 VOIP lines.
Internet bottlenecks would be at the ISP-Internet connection either way.
