verizon FIOS +linux

Slightly off-topic...

I got an offer in the mail from verizon for a fiber optics internet
connection, which advertises 5Mbps upload, and between 5 and 50 Mbps
download. That's very tempting.

Before I subscribe, are there any known issues under linux?
Do I have to run some proprietary program in windows first, to
sign-up (as I had to when I installed dsl)?

I imagine I still get an IP address through dhcp, right?
Is it stable? Reliable? Fast? Any gotchas?

Thanks!
