I suspect that the fiber they are putting in to your place Karren is FTTN (fiber to the node) and standard copper cable from the node to your house. They put that into my old place early last year.
My new house (was just built last Dec.) has fiber right up to the house (FTTP - Fiber To The Premises) and my ISP is offering 1gb internet (cable). Gotta have really deep pockets for that though ($150 CA/Month - dollar value is close to $AU these days). All I can afford is 60mb service - gotta stretch my pension $ as far as I can get them. All new subdivisions are getting FTTP
