Well, sorta correct. Twisted pair (copper) back to the V-rad or SLC. (~
3.5 kilofoot limitation for U-verse service). Then fiber back to the
C.O. (central office), not "node".

# Fiber-to-the-cabinet or fiber-to-the-curb (both abbreviated as FTTC,
although FTTCab is sometimes also used) - fiber is terminated in a
street cabinet typically closer than 300m of the customer premises, with
the final connection being copper.
# Fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) - this is very similar to FTTC, but the
street cabinet is further away from the user's premises; it can be up to
several kilometers away.
