The best thing to do -- although it's a bit late for Mike's situation --
is to insist that when they're pulling fiber through your basement, they
pull *lots* of it.  Not single fibers, but multi-fiber cables with as many
fibers as you can talk them into.  Whatever the potential for retrofit of
existing fiber, it's still easier to put newer gear on spare fibers.
