Fiber has more growth then cooper with higher bandwidth. Faster up and down for data.

Yes...from what I understand...and please correct me if I am wrong...They ran the fiber around the neighborhood. And when they come for the install...they run a smaller fiber right up and inside the house. They said it would upgrade my phone system also to fiber...and they are offering cable (fiber) TV in the very near future to compete with Comcast. I am just going to go with it. It is cheaper and faster...seems like a no brainer!
