From a technical point of view FIOS wins hands down. It will not be made obsolete by higher frequency, higher capacity spectrum. Coax cable channels at 500 MHz was fine for low resolution TV with a few voice and music channels thrown in. High defTV uses 19.38 megabits/sec for over the air broadcast which uses most of their bandwidth. HighDef sub channels use standard definition 480i, the same standard in use since the 1940s. Everything you see is not HighDef either on cable or over the air.
