I've been on Fiber for about 1 year.  The company buried everything along
the roads for the neighborhood and let us know when they were ready for
customers.  Once I signed up, they came and ran the individual cable from the
box in the front yard into the house.  They made sure that the old existing
copper cable was removed. That made sure it wasn't a simple thing to revert
back to the old ISP! 

I'm supposed to have up to 1 gig speeds both ways.  I've only been able to
verify that with the "speed test" web sites. However, I'm certainly happy
with what I have.
