    I live in Switzerland, and recently got the equivalent to your fios; to be honest it's great when it works properly. The issue I have, is that I need to run the Ethernet through special wall plugs to get from my router tp my computer. The speeds advertised are there, but I've found that in my older appartment building when doing this it basically limits you to 10% of those. Thankfully 5GHz Wifi is blazing fast.
    In a special case like this it's good to keep in mind that you need the proper installations.
