Look at FiOS. There are people clamoring for Verizon to maintain the copper that they’re trying to abandon.

In my case, they cut the copper at the street, tied it to the fiber and used it drag the fiber through the conduit to my house. My phone line used to be crap — scratchy and staticy and too far from the CO for DSL. Now it's crystal clear, and I have 15mb/sec down internet (the ultimate capacity of the fiber is actually much higher).
