Re: Catch
1) If you order a service from Verizon, or any other telephone or cable provider for that matter, then it is up to Verizon (or the other provider) how they deliver that service. They could use 2 tincans and a piece of string if they wanted to and provided they could get it to work reliably you'd have no say in the matter!
2) Verizon have made no secret of the FACT that they see fiber as the future and that their intention is to eventually provide every single bit (pun intended) of their wired services over fiber and fully intend to get rid of every inch of copper out there that they own.
3) Should one choose to go with a provider other than Verizon, then any intelligent person can surely see that in this wonderful capitalist society we live in then it follows that you are also choosing to accept the cost of using that other provider, ie if you want to go with a small local telco (one that may not have economies of scale) then you are deliberately, albeit unknowingly, accepting that you will have to pay some or all of the cost for them to get an obsolete copper wire strung out to you.
