I'm only speculating here, but I suspect that "Fibe" IS a DSLAM in the
roadside brown boxes as has been mentioned in this discussion, but the
high speed backhaul to the CO may or may not be an actual fibre-optic
cable.
For all practical purposes, does it matter if the backhaul is over
fibre, or over copper, as long as Bell offers equivalent performance?
I suspect that new installs are probably fibre to the roadside, whereas
in older areas such as Reza describes the existing copper facilities
will be used.
Regards,
Doug.

I appreciate all the feedback and corrections folks have provided
here... However I still don't understand why they tagged it as fiber
(unless infact this is a marketing term), because I have **personally**
verified and looked on site at the distribution box and have been
confirmed by a bell technician on duty at the site, that in the
distribution box which is only couple of hundred yards from my client
that **indeed** there is no fiber underground (connected to the
distribution box). It is all copper. The neighbourhood is also about 20+
years old. I thought, and I am still under the impression that its
merely an upgrade of their DSLAM, that allows a higher thorough put of
data to make 25 down and 7 up possible.
Cheers!

Henry, I have this at my clients. I don't understand why they
claim it to be Bell Fiber. The modem they use for this service
is actually a DSL modem. The white brick type modem they supply
has a led marked "DSL",and all the other leds that are similar to
a standard dsl modem etc. And yes, upload speed is close to the
advertised speed and download close to their advertised speed.
