said by Paralel:The flavor of Uverse that everyone considers "True" Uverse is VDSL2 fed over copper to your house from a VRAD, which is fed with fibre. The other flavor of Uverse is ADSL2+ fed over copper to your house from an IPDSLAM, probably located at the CO, which is fed with fibre.
If you can't get any flavor of Uverse, you get legacy DSL, ADSL using ATM over copper, fed from a RT or CO.
And the 3rd flavor of U-Verse is Fiber to your house
