High Speed Internet over Fiber Optic...faster than DSL...

 I am located in Lilburn, Georgia which is an Atlanta Suburb.
I recently moved into a neighborhood where all of the telephone wiring
is Fiber Optic,
and a repair technician who came out to the house informed me of a "High
Speed
Internet" feature which is provide to "Fiber Optic" neighborhoods called
"PC Data"
where the internet line in question is 2 pair or 4 wires and can only be
used for data.
 One pair is supposedly used for sending data while the other pair is
used for receiving
data.
   The transmission rate is in the gigabyte range like T2 and T3
connections offered to
businesses, and is much much faster than DSL.
This is all information given to me by the Bellsouth Repair Technician.

The feature or service is supposedly offer thru the 'Bellsouth Fast
Access" department
but I couldn't find any representative who knew what it was or how to
order with the
exception of one - but of course he wasn't sure how to direct me to
obtaining the
service.

 Because of the fiber optic wiring in the neighbor hood, the standard
dialup service is
severely hindered because of a switching device called an SLC which
converts analog to
digital thus dropping the connection speed of standard dialup modems
which are
analog.   Highest speed I can obtain is 28800 compared to 52000 in a
neighborhood
where the wiring is all copper.

I would like to know where to obtain more info about this service and
where to order it
from.

  Thank You....
