I know that, at least in some (business) locations, Verizon was running fiber to the basement, and then provisioning the T1 or other service from that. Our suite had the standard T1 connection coming in, but when we tried to change the ownership of the line, we needed a "new" T1 circuit. Since they were "out of" copper pairs coming into the building, we had to wait for them to run fiber to the basement. The new T1 used the same wires and line interface, but it only went as far as the 19" rack in the basement. And, no, just because they then had fiber coming into the building did not mean that we could then get FiOS. That is a "different" fiber. All of this (except my observations of the new rack and the old T1 wire and interface) are according to the very helpful folks at Verizon, so I won't vouch for it.
