Seeking faster internet connection--is FIOS available?

[ElizabethinDC]

Dear Verizon Support:   I am signed up for a landine (Freedom package) and high speed internet.  Unfortunately, the internet connection speed is actually very very slow and I can't stream films or even watch shows on Hulu or listen to Rhapsody without frequent interruptions due to dropped connection.  My phone line was also dead for several months until I requested a tech to come out and help.  He was able to restore the line, but couldn't do anything about the very slow internet connection.  he thought I could get FIOS, but it's impossible to request it online.   It's baffling to me that it's so hard to get good service given the high fees I am paying.  (over $120 per month).  I tried calling Verizon several times but find it very hard to get a person on the phone so I am trying email.  Thank you in advance for your reply.  Regards, Elizabeth
