Actually we do. The Telephone infrastructure is made of dedicated underground pipes that the standard copper cables used to run through. Now they are installing the fiber cables into these same pipes.
Now i don't know if these exist in every part of Lebanon but i think its mostly in Beirut and Tripoli and most of the urban areas.
I dont think they are using the same pipes as the copper cables are, as they are too thick to fit and will end up damaging the copper cables (Personal experience with some ISP).
I think what they must be doing is using those pipes until reaching the nodes, then those nodes would convert from fiber optic to copper and send those cables from each node to the final user, thats what I think they must be doing, There is also a local company here called "intercable" that sends fiber optic all the way to the underground pipes of residential streets and converts it there to copper cable, which in my opinion decreases the performance.
