And by that argument pots dialup is fiber optic because the packets
went over a fiber optic link to get to the CO.

Well, not pots, but, NTT was, against ADSL, advertising their
128Kbps ISDN dial up as "high speed Internet".

So, 128Kbps dial up might have been "broadband" at that time
at least for NTT, until, in late 2001, Japanese government
defined "high speed Internet access network" access network to
be able to smoothly download music data etc. with examples of
xDSL, CATV and Wifi.
