That's an interesting idea -- would certainly address the issue of 
susceptibility to lightning, etc. -- but I'm not sure I'd know how.

Nope (I had to look up mini-GBIC). So-called RJ-45 sockets only. The 
router is a Draytek Vigor2860ac (the one clobbered by the lightning was 
a 2860n, but I took the opportunity to upgrade as we have some 5GHz 
devices around the place) and the switch is bog standard Netgear 
100Mbps thing.

Sounds like significant expenditure would be required to add fibre 
capability here?
