These are large 19th century buildings with courtyards. I have seen lots of activity on this street - fiber being 
pulled from manhole and gear being installed in cable manholes. Corning on the cables.

        Sounds more like an in-building Gfast deployment, which
is /technically/ a kind of DSL.  To get 500Mb on a single pair I think
you would need a distance shorter than 1000ft.  This is pretty recent
tech, and a multi dwelling scenario would be the most common deployment
afaik.
