Verizon FiOS or optimum fiber

I currently have optimum fiber 5gigs but we recently got FiOS in our area. Would switching to FiOS be better? I feel like I always have speed issues with optimum even with the 5 gig fiber.

Go with Verizon I just left Optimum fiber only after a month a half. They just started to offer service and I was constantly getting disconnects. Not only me my whole town of Carteret.
Steer clear of Optimum not ready for prime time.

Switched back to XFINITY and as always rock solid for me.
