Many smaller, independent telephone companies (Vernon Telephone comes to mind first) have been deploying this technology for years. Verizon is just one of the first "Big-Boys" do deploy "Fiber to the customer".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17462510 Fri, 15 Dec 2006 07:13:25 EDT Re: Great Synch Though http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17460249 nasadude :

FTTx? Don't you mean FTTP?

This isn't a bandwidth problem so why are you ranting about it?
yet]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17460249 Thu, 14 Dec 2006 19:53:51 EDT Re: Great Synch Though http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17460018 techjoe : Exactly. FTTx (heh) has been in use for years in various environments. My company has miles upon miles of fiber running to IDF's and such (FTTI?? :p). Same theory, in basic principle. The govt has been using fiber for secure high-speed communications for longer, PTP mostly but still. In FTTN it's pretty much PTP and routed over copper or whatever is locally feasable to the final destination...

How much of the innaweb's larger tubes are made of copper these days anyway?

etc etc etc

Fiber has been run through its paces and is a proven technology, no doubt about it.

The technology itself is proven reliable. The fact that it's being strung into a house or a business doesn't change that.

It doesn't matter if Verizon decides to push voice, data, or 1000 channels of prOn over it, fiber has been proven to be the most trouble free and cost effective way to move large amounts of data.

Or, did I miss the latest massive deployment of copper trans oceanic and trans continental lines???

I'm using it because an earlier poster used it.

The "lowercase" x indicates the initial in the acronym is interchangeable with another letter.

Like FTTH is Fiber To The Home, and FTTP Fiber To The Premises. Some people use either term or the other. The earlier poster in this case, instead of choosing one or the other, substituted the lowercase x wherever the P or H would've been....

Some other examples are using the term Tx instead of the entire word "treatment".

I don't think it really applies to the prescription symbol "Rx" (where the x crosses the leg of the R) as I believe that's an abbreviation for the Latin word recipe / take.

Really?

Sure, FTTx is more expensive up front, but it's cheaper to maintain in the long run.

FTTx is also, in the long run less of a risk. FTTx WORKS. It's time tested proven technology, and the best, fastest way to move voice, video, and data.

Instead, AT&T tries to revive the lost art of alchemy. Trying to turn copper into gold.
