Note that "Fiber To The Home" (FTTH) or "Fiber To The Premises" (FTTP) really does put a twisted pair optical fiber line into the home. The above scenario, fiber to a neighborhood box and then coax cable from there, would be a situation where an upgrade was done but not all the way to FTTH, to be able to re-use the last mile of coax. It's really a sunk cost problem, at least if the houses are close enough for passive optical, since in that case new FTTP would not cost more than new coax.
