Yes with the 100 baseT but what about crappy low gage coax? Hardly anybody has cat 5 running through their house either.
I priced FIOS with what I have with Comcast now and it was like $90/mo higher than what I'm paying now. I have 3 dual tuner HD DVR's in my house along with phone and internet.

I don't have cat 5 (100 mbit Ethernet cable) running through my modest apartment either. I have:
a short run of cat 5 cable, from the FIOS box to an SMCWEB-N Wireless base station,
that wireless link, running at usually 160 mbits max data rate, spanning my apartment,
at the other end of the apartment, a second SMCWEB-N configured as a Wireless client,
connected finally to my computer (actually, to a Hotbrick LB2 firewall and router going to my five computers ;) via more cat 5 Ethernet cable.
