I just realized that I will be moving from Google Fiber down here to Fios in Pittsburgh. Is Fios equivalent?

Yes, FIOS and Google Fiber are fiber optic versions. So you dont get stuck with the slower cable versions like xfinity, comcast. armstrong. The further away from the city though, the less options because of infrastructure issues(I dont believe they get the same federal or state assistance as other utilities infrastructure) . So some areas dont have fiber optic options. A good thing to check before moving.

Some areas outside Allegheny County as well. I totally hit the lottery living in Hopewell (Beaver County) - Verizon stopped expanding FIOS at the county border, and for years my only options were 3Mb DSL or Comcast. Then like 5 years ago GoNetSpeed started offering service and I was the first install in my zip code.

$90/month for duplex 1Gb. Service has never gone out.
