I have had optimum online for over 2 years and constitantly been pleased with it, moved to another location that had fios as an option but since the house was already wired for directv didn't choose fios, as far as the internet service goes I'm very pleased with optimum, I hated there cable service, so leaving for anything directv or fios was a no brainer for me.
Honestly I choose optimum over fios because I had a lot to do while moving and I didn't want to have to babysit a verizon fios installer all day when I had a lot to do.
and while technically better technology, we have fios at work and the speeds and pings are almost identical, so I choose the shorter install time and cheaper price (well for the first 12 months atleast)
Update - speeds have been slightly inconsistent, at peak hours connection drops down the 6-8 Mbit and has a couple times dropped down to about 1 - 2 MBit which was a major problem as I was trying to watch netflix HD, I may have to upgrade to boost, I don't need more than 15/2 but this node seems crowded, in my last apartment I had to upgrade to boost to get the consistent speeds as well, I was trying to save a few bucks. I'll give it a few more weeks and decide
Update - I was on boost while I was under the first year commitment, as it was only $45 a month on the promotion, switched back to regular ool for the past 2 months and the inconsistent speeds issues appears to be working fine,
