In my area Verizon is supposedly running all fiber. In fact they won't even add more DSL in this area, they say even my present phone number which is using DSL is not available for DSL. Seems more likely they may use coax since they seem in many cases to take the most profitable way out.
They can't even provide a DSL modem from a manufacturer that doesn't radiate harmonics all over the HF spectrum, probably because it was cheaper. In the south USA they have DSL modems that are "clean", not so up here in NJ.
I cannot really believe Verizon would step BACKWARDS and use coax cable when fiber is available and has virtually unlimited bandwidth.
That's my 2 worth
