Typical install time for FIOS here is one to two weeks for a weekday
appointment and about three weeks for a Saturday or Sunday.

It's a completely different set of installers that are trained in FIOS
and they only do FIOS work.  On all the installations they've done for
us they've gone out of their way to do things the "right" way and not
just slap it in like DSL/Cable techs have done before.  If you get their
TV service, at a couple of our employee's homes they've completely
pulled new coax to all the jacks if there was a question about the
quality of the cabling there already.
