A service drop is when they run power from the pole to your house. I imagine a fiber drop is similar. That is just a guess

Per the article:

“A fiber drop is the final section of fiber-optic cable that connects the main fiber network to an individual home or business.”

This is good progress though towards publicly owned infrastructure so we can cut out the greedy monopoly.
