There is no Copper in fiber (except for the amps). The short run in to the subscriber is minimal.
Where did he mention fiber? Lots of pair-gain equipment is still served by T1 Carrier on copper.
Fiber is how most cable systems carry main trunks now.
Bwuahahahah... Cable is and has been, as far as hard line goes, aluminum for decades. The drop to your house is a STEEL center conductor with a very minimal copper cladding.
He referred to CABLE infrastructure, dipshit, not ma bell.
