... with that, why would anyone want to go back?
Because the copper is subject to UNE-loop leasing rules, whereas the fiber is not. In particular, even if Covad has a collo in your CO, there is no remaining copper loop for Covad to lease to your home. If there were, then Covad could provide you DSL and a thousand or so VoIP providers could give you voice.
With only the fiber present, any use of that fiber by other companies will be only on Verizon's own chosen terms, without the input or oversight of regulatory commissions.
