On the flip-side, my sister told me the other day that here Home Phone 
line was about to be upgraded to Fibre-to-the-Home.

Ten/Fifteen years or so ago, our Phone system had been upgraded to 
Fibre-to-the Building for Business and those Home-owners who wanted to 
pat the premium for Fibre-to-the-Home. Everyone else just got 
Fibre-to-the-Node, i.e. the box on the nature-strip somewhere in the 
street, then twisted-pair wire to the Home.
