I'm not sure I understand your question.
Are you saying you have FiOS service and aren't getting the speeds your plan should provide?

Verizon runs a fiber optic drop wire from the pole to the house which is connected to a optical network terminal. The ONT converts the light signal from the fiber so that the coaxial cable and phones wires in the house can be used.
at what point and time did verizon start useing fiber optic? the cables to house are under ground and nothing was ran when intsalation was done a few years ago. this house is over 30 years old the only place new coxail was in the house, nothing new from point of under ground
FIOS service has always been fiber (that's what the F stands for).
If you have an ONT (big box on the wall outside) the cable going up to it is Fiber.
Output of it would be coax for TV and 2 wire for phone service.
Do you have fios or DSL?
10-12 years ago is when FiOS was created, however most of Verizon's service area does not have the service. Many still use copper or have been sold off. FiOS is centered around a number of large cities.
