So I have to ask you the big question...
Why do you want to do BGP with Comcast or Verizon ? (Over FIOS or Cable ?)
Is the intent to Peer with their network ? (which they will rightfully only allow on bigger fatter connections)..
'peer' has many connotations, I think most of the cases of it over FIOS are just: "I want bgp so I can announce my prefixes, and see yours/default/etc" (which leads to 'multihoming' and other normal (for businesses) activities on the Internet.
or Are you trying to delivery your IP's to a End Customer behind that FIOS / Cable Connection ? ... (there a ways to accomplish this without needing their cooperation..)
or you are multihomed or you want some semblence of 'the internet is down' so other bits of your infrastructure can take over or you want ... a thousand other things.
