Why would you drop fiber when you can do 10gbps on ethernet at the distances most cabling would be in a home. Never would consider to run fiber and I just finished a couple of new cat7 drops in my home.

We have the luxury of having 1, 2.5, 10 and 25 gigabit fiber to the home but I haven't considered even 2.5 until the services I use can leverage it

Future proofing. Fiber is cheap, so why not?
