I have half a clue. I don't know what a PVC is, but I just got my
FIOS through Nidhog (www.nidhog.net). So far, I am quite happy with
it, but then so far, I have been using mostly Windows and OS X and
haven't really done much networking. Good bandwidth though. (4854
kbps down/1837 kbps up per http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/).
