It has to be a voip connection as there are no true land line connections in the USA. It's probably copper to the house but once you get to the first relay box it runs back via a optical switch and fiber.
AT&T was the last holdover in the far rural northwestern states but they upgraded about 10 years ago. There just not going to say that as fiber is probably whiten 1500 feet of 80% of there subscribers none of the big boys will tell them that as DSL(copper) is easier to maintain and lower bandwidth requirements makes more money in federal subsidies.
More than likely it's just bad chinesium Walmart phones and a very old DSL modem.
