Its probably fiber optics, a very good transmission line but expensive compared to the phone lines alrerady in your house.

A fiber optic is a plastic line that transmits light pulses for the elctrical signal, very clean but the ends need to be very cleanly cut whensplicing them together. A technician has to do all work on them with special tools, hence the expense.
