For pretty much all of my 21 years with my former employer, I was virtual office at home. FiOS was a game-changer for me when it became available because I could finally use ALL the bells and whistles I had been selling to my customers. And the symmetrical service clearly helped a lot when higher-bandwidth video became commonplace. I don't understand why ANY provider would install legacy copper in a new neighborhood at this point...sheesh!
