Just to clarify, if you have CenturyLink fiber optics to the house then voice, internet data, and TV (their IPTV offereing) all come down the fiber. They don't have separate copper for voice.

I believe there may be some areas within The Villages that CenturyLink still uses the older copper wire for voice, internet, and possibly IPTV. With copper wire, achievable bandwidths are a function of the distance from the switching station. With Fiber, it doesn't matter.
