Your demo comparison of Fios download times vs Cable are impressive but grossly misleading (wrong) and contradictary to your posted numbers under the demo.
Although FiOS has 5 times the bandwidth of cable, your table shows only a 20% improvement over cable. So your demo should show 80% completion instead of 20% for cable when comparing downloads.
Am I not correct?
The numbers infor Cable are wrong! see

Do the math.
10million bits per second=1.25 million bytes per second.
So there is no way you can download a 5million byte movie trailer in 1 second over a 10 million bits per second connection. It is going to take at least 4 seconds.
Same problem with the other comparisons.
Having said that, as you get up past 3-4mbps, often the traffic is constrained further upstream. For example I have a 20/5 FiOS connection. I download the evening news from channel 9 Australia every weekday morning. It is about 40mb, so in theory I could download it in about 20 seconds. The reality is constraints upstream make it very hard to get the download to go above about 2 million bits per second. My experience is that even Apple's Itunes downloads rarely get past about 15 million bits per second.
YMMV
