East Lansing, MI | said by op0:Why waste the money to do this when they could just lay fiber? I mean they waste the money to lay DSL and there just going to have to invest more money when they decide to lay fiber so what's the point to laying DSL when fiber will pay off more in the long run than DSL.  You don't 'lay' DSL. You change some equipment out at the CO, and the lines become capable of DSL. Fiber requires you to change the co equipment, rip out the copper, put in the glass, and add a bunch of equipment at the CP. A lot more involved, and a lot more expensive. And when I say a lot more, i mean $100,000 compared to $50M per CO (assuming a small CO). |
