Fiber is Coming to my neighborhood

I just talked to a At&t Technician in our neighborhood and he said they are bringing fiber very soon.  I hope this improves my internet I have cox cable out several times a year working on my internet from cox.  The internet seems to very on my computer when surfing the internet but streaming TV doesn't seem to be affected much.  I am building a system so I don't have my DAC or streamer.  I do have my amp and getting a preamp as we speak.  Would Fiber have any effect on the type of streamer or DAC I look at?  I do assume that fiber will be better than cable.  What should I look for to improve signal as far as jitter?

@allanblissett Yes thanks for the info.  I am excited about it.  I have the cable guy out at least 2 to three times a year.  I think I mentioned this in a previous post but I feel like they come out and just put a bandaid on the problem.

Yes. That system has probably reached the limit of its usefully life, and they are just keeping it on life support, getting the most they can out of it without investing in new infrastructure.

Unless you are changing what is in your walls to fiber, it will have zero impact.

What does what's in his wall have to do with the fiber to his modem and a ethernet cable to his streamer ? 

He will no longer be using the old house wiring.
