Phone
I still have the ability to call 911 on my phones (even though I dropped phone service).
The tech told me that the 911 call is routed over fiber.
Fiber into my Basement
The tech told me that fiber comes in a roll and really curls into a coil as it spreads out.
The black curling cable is fiber.
The other two cables coming from the ceiling are Ethernet and telephone.
