My city is rolling out fiber in a year or two, so I'll have to ask them how that works, because I'd like to plan out where they drop it.

They don't drop it in your home most likely. In our home it's a box on the side of the house with the modem and they ran cat5 to our media panel in the garage.

Ours will support >1gbit (up to 10gbit allegedly), so they probably won't run cat5, but hopefully they don't get lazy and just run cat6 or cat6a and actually run a fiber link to the house.

All the ONT boxes I've seen in houses have fiber directly to the box.
