Ask her what it is then, if it is not PSTN?
PSTN is just a all-inclusive acronym for the telephone network - she may be confusing technology types (copper cable versus fibre) with PSTN.

" Definition of: PSTN
(Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S., most of the remaining analog lines are the ones from your house or office to the telephone company's central office (CO). "
Ask her if it's POTS (Plain Old Telephony System) or PANS (Pretty Amazing New Stuff)?
