   When Verizon installed FIOS at my place, the only fiber involved was the   
   one that came into the Fiber Modem in my closet. Beyond that they just   
   reused the already existing coax for TV and the old telephone copper   
   wiring for connecting to the telephone jacks, and a short cable segment   
   to connect the WiFi hub.   
      
   So you are correct, unless for some odd reason the customer wants to pay   
   for installing fiber all over the house nothing of the sort is going to   
   happen, specially when there is pre-installed copper and coax.
