People with Verizon FiOS: Does it really deliver 50 Mbps??

Question

I am unable to get Verizon FiOS where I live unfortunately, but I was really wondering if it could achieve the so called 50Mbps? That's like 6.25 Megabytes persecond, which is OMG FAST. Almost like instantaneous download for anything. Thanks for your answers.

Answer 1

Right now it's showing 54.0 MPBS

Answer 2

Fiber optic backbone.

U.S. is just starting to catch up to Japan.  They are almost entirely fiber optic.

Am thinking of moving just to get where FIOS is!

Really!
