The spanish solution sounds rather like fibre to the cabinet, with
voice cards fitted to the cabinet?

 
It is fibre to the sitting room, to the router, or to a little box
before it called "ONT". Either the ONT or the router have copper pair
out, thus it is VoIP to the router, POTS out of it.

Is your sitting room a mile long then :-) or was it someone else who
mentioned "last mile"?

  The "last mile" was me, but in a slightly different context, i.e. the
VOIP-to-POTS was not in the sitting room, but somewhere upto a 'mile'
away.

  OTOH, I also mentioned an Aussie setup similar to what Carlos
described, so being in Oz, their sitting room might well be a mile long.
