My mother in law had copper service and the wire was overhead and came down and attached to NID box on her outside deck.
when verizon told her they had to switch her over to fiber optics she was ok with it only if it was installed overhead as the old service. What fios did was tell her it was coming in overhead but had to drill through her foundation to run the fiber into her cellar. She said absolutely not. They did not dig a trench but wanted to run the fiber through concrete walls. And install a fios device with power source available. They told her if she wanted more services in the future the stuff is already there.
shd threw them out. At 86 years of age she likes things not to change.
