The AT&T (originally SBC) VDSL plan requires copper to the home. Fiber
to the neighborhood.
In VZ region, they are pulling out copper as fast as they can &
replacing it with fiber. (FiOS is FTTH not FTTN).
VZ even clips the copper when they install your FiOS.
And what VZ isn't replacing, thieves are stealing, since copper is easy
to sell.
VZ's union is even claiming that VZ is not maintaining the copper plant
in some areas.
If you watch the FCC network notifications, there is more copper
replacement being done this year then ever before.

No, not really, as AT&T is betting on copper only in the last few hundred
feet to the premises. While they're not going to do
fiber-to-the-premises,
they will be doing a fiber infrastructure.
Thanks,
