They're moving to bundled voice-internet-TV. When ATT installs
U-Verse, around here, the first thing they do is cut the copper. In
many cases, if possible, they remove the drop line from the pole, so
the pair can't be reactivated. Verizon cuts the copper when they
install FiOS. Comcast cuts ATT's copper when they install their bundle.
U Verse is twisted pair from a box in your neighborhood. Fiber to the
Node.
The only place they do FTTP is where no copper pair ever existed, e.g.
new housing.
