They don't drop it in your home most likely. In our home it's a box on the side of the house with the modem and they ran cat5 to our media panel in the garage.
Ours will support >1gbit (up to 10gbit allegedly), so they probably won't run cat5, but hopefully they don't get lazy and just run cat6 or cat6a and actually run a fiber link to the house.
All the ONT boxes I've seen in houses have fiber directly to the box.
