Re: My FIOS install

Light speed for high end computers is the high end customers creed. Is it worth it? Will it last.

High dollar infrastructure maintenance investment, highly trained fiber techs required at every level, long wait time to restore fiber breaks, customer pays for the drop repair... 600$ ea. right? a tough business decision and hard for new employee commitment if it folds. »..

Where did you hear that the customer is responsible for the drop? I need to see a press release or an article supporting that claim.

Fiber is also much cheaper to maintain than copper plant. As for the restore time,its about the same as copper because the cables are usually much smaller than copper cables,less splicing. By the time a break is found, a new cable is placed, and it is spliced,it is no different than any of our existing cables.Highly trained techs; an educated employee makes for a better company.
