I'm affected by the same problem on DSL, or was. Lately it's been better on my end but I am still finding a lot of page stalls.
I've also been experiencing severe network connectivity issues. Lower East Side - Stuyvesant Town area. NYC.
I am having the same issues--can't reach certain websites, it just hangs--tried multiple browsers. Websites are NOT down (can access them via iphone) Many sites affected, but it keeps changing (earlier I could not get Google, now I can, but I can't get to Amazon or others that I use for business.)
I only just got FIOS this week and so far I am NOT encouraged!!
I can add I am in Brooklyn, NY
Same problem on Long Island, NY (Huntington). Pages don't fully load; page time-outs; pages require refreshing to load it; etc.
This is a system wide problem. Many people are having the same issues!
Check the Verizon Fios thread over an DSL Reports:

=== UPDATE ===
Just spoke to Verizon. They are having widespread network problems and are working on resolving the problem.
I am experiencing the same problem here in past few weeks, I have spoke with a customer support rep. and he said it is the "my" wireless problem...
Seriously, just admit it and tell the customer the truth.
@NY, Queen
Same problems in the Richmond VA area.
switching to google's free dns service seems to be a good temporary work around. it seems to have fixed my problems anyway.

only for those confident configuring their network settings.
it seems i spoke too soon. im still seeing issues. must be something else or something larger.
It's not the DNS, it's something else with FIOS, and not all FIOS reps will admit the problem. Time to switch back to Cable.

DSL is seeing the same problems, so it's not JUST FiOS. This stuff happens. I'd be patient since these problems, while annoying, do go away in due time. The lack of info isn't too helpful unfortunately, other than knowing a ton of people in New York are having problems and it's going to other east coast areas. There is probably a malfunctioning router somewhere along the line, probably in the same place where the routing outage during the summer occurred.
