The sales guy is talking through his hat. It sounds like he's talking about Siro (rather than NBI or openeir) where the fibre cables are run along side the electrical cables and the fibre cable enters the premises generally in the vincity of the electrical meter.

He might be confused because Vodafone are partnered with the ESB and Siro.
Your connection will be a fibre optic cable and not through your electric wiring or sockets.
