Since when?  I've never seen ISDN delivered over fiber.  Its a conditioned
copper line (4 wire).  DSL is just 2-wire copper and can be run over alarm
pair if needed in some cases.

You might have fiber be the *backbone*; e.g., from a CO to a neighborhood
junction box, but at one point its going to break out into copper before it
hits the house.
