Almost any question you might have about FiOS can be answered at:

But to give you some quick answers. The fiber stops at the ONT on the side of your house. Inside the ONT are POTS connections (for dialtone) an Ethernet connection (for Internet) and a coax connection (for TV).The current installations are getting an Actiontec router which supports MoCA. This provides a connection between the Ethernet and coax portions and is what allows the on-demand features and the channel guide to work.
