As I understand, FIOS and U-Verse offer up 2 speeds based on how close
the fiber is to the premises.  There is FTTP - Fiber-to-the premises,
and FTTC - Fiber-to-the-curb.  I imagine that's what they are talking
about.  There is no need to enter the premises, the fiber terminates at
the demark in FTTP.
