Sadly, it is impossible to say FTTC not "fiber optic broadband", because it is "broadband" (at least with today's access speed) with "fiber optic".
And by that argument pots dialup is fiber optic because the packets went over a fiber optic link to get to the CO.
Well, not pots, but, NTT was, against ADSL, advertising their 128Kbps ISDN dial up as "high speed Internet".
So, 128Kbps dial up might have been "broadband" at that time at least for NTT, until, in late 2001, Japanese government defined "high speed Internet access network" access network to be able to smoothly download music data etc. with examples of xDSL, CATV and Wifi.
