Verizon Fios has an advantage over Spectrum thanks to its 100% fiber-optic network. Verizon also has a lower starting price than Spectrum ($40 compared with $50). You'll also get symmetrical or near-symmetrical download and upload speeds with Verizon Fios, whereas Spectrum's max upload speeds fall far short of its download speeds.  Spectrum does have lower introductory pricing for gig service and a monthly equipment fee $10 lower than with Verizon Fios. As a cable internet provider, Spectrum is also a great choice for bundling internet and TV.  In short, both providers have their pros and cons, but I believe I'd choose Verizon Fios over Spectrum. In any case, it's always a good idea to fully evaluate your home internet needs and the available options in your area before committing to a particular internet provider.
