Just how does Verizon accomplish this with something like providing Internet
connectivity to a customer? Do they rip up all the remaining copper
telephone cable between their nearest office and your house or apartment
building, and replace it with fiber optic cable, and then say it's no longer
DSL connectivity, even though it's still using phone lines as it did before?
And what about the many places where fiber optic cable has, bit by bit,
replaced the old copper cable? Do they take credit for that and, even though
providing what's basically still DSL service, insist that it's something of
their own invention? This is not at all clear to me.

FiOs means to Verizon, fiber optic service.
It is different from DSL, which is copper wire based.
