Comcast is actually fine, but I'm looking to see if FiOS can provide me with lower ping for gaming--I have a cousin who says his FiOS service is great

as mentioned, ping is mostly based on location. i doubt you'll see much, if any, improvement for that.
find game servers that are physically closer to you.
I don't think having a 50 ms ping instead of an 80 is really going to help.

I just got FIOS today and my ping in WoW is low 100s... whereas it was just about 150ms on crap DSL. So no, it's not worth it if you were just doing it for ping's sake.

Like others have said; it would upgrade your bandwidth, not your latency. And 5MB is plenty for almost any game.
