I guess people will spend money regardless. Payed a good bit of extra money for a new computer for Halo, like most people here, so why not net I guess. Go for it. I just don't see why you'd want to pay that much for a speed that isn't necessary, but I guess it would make Halo ezmode. I'm sure your current download/upload speeds are adequate. I'm not doing it for halo :O. My current stuff suuucks and constantly shuts off randomly and my parents noticed it and asked if I wanted to switch. (they didnt ask me if i wanted better reg or lead -_-)

Works fine for CSS and everything not-gaming related though.

However good copper may be at conducting electrons, nothing beats light-reflected evanescent wave coupling! Basically nothing beats photon energy... So, in essence, it's a marketing gimmick until they deliver actual fios cabling to your machine. but it's still pretty fast..however most websites aren't going to let you use the full potential of your net. Imagine being a server capable of being downloaded at a rate of XXX/s. The server isn't going to put your connection over others because it is faster, it is going to treat all of your connections the same and send data out according to the data pulls on it's own environment. Basically it's really good for Verizon, because it can send your data much more cheaply over long distances (with fiber optics, it requires less power), but then it gets to your house and then you end up losing all that potential speed as it gets translated into copper wiring.
