The electrical signal in a copper wire also travels as the speed of light, as do all electromagnetic waves is these media. The 1000 miles/sec is nonsense.

I am a certified AT&T Fiber optics tech in the Chicagoland area. I have been installing the fiber optic services to homes and business' for over 4 years. I can say with absolute certainty that if any of your followers were to buy into a fiber neighborhood, any and all internet services outside of the fiber service will be deplorable in comparison for several reasons. One of the main reasons is that all DSL type services run over copper and not fiber, which means the average speed is around 1000 miles per second and is electrical based. Whereas Fiber, which is light based, travels at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). Huge difference!! Plus, when you hook up to the Fiber service, normally you are actually tapped directly into the main backbone of the internet, which means the access speeds are dramatically reduced. I have proved to my fiber customers how truly faster the service is in direct competition with the cable providers. Fiber blows them out of the water. Not only is it the fastest service (right now we can produce terra bit speeds over fiber), it is also the most reliable. Copper systems will ground out, short out, and plain wear with time needing repair. Once a fiber system is in place, rarely will the system need repair. Dramatic impact on up and down time for internet access. Just thought I would share with your great decision on moving to fiber. Enjoy it. Jim Dear Dave,
