Fiber To The Neighborhood or Node

The RT IS the Node.

FTTN refers to the connection from the CO to the RT(Node) so when the local area around the CO is served there is no Fiber To The Anything, because that area is being serviced directly from the CO and not an RT.
A node is a node whether it's in the CO or a remote; there's little difference between a DSLAM in a CO and an RT. FTTN (as in Fiber to the Node) refers to how it's fed- by fiber instead of coax or copper.

By that definition, 768kbitps ADSL, even 128kbitps ISDN, will be FTTN if its fed from a fiber RT.
