Re: Trust

said by VZ service tech :

OK, how about this. I worked in copper for about six months. In that time, we were constantly waiting for tools and equipment because so much money was being sent to the FIOS department. I was told by cable that no new copper plant would be placed even if we ran out of good pairs. They will just have to find a way to fix it. The FIOS guys got brand new laptops. We got their hand-me-downs. Even in a meeting we were told most of the money is going to fiber.
Sounds like FiOS envy...

Seriously though, they are doing what any smart company does. They are re-locating their efforts and resources to the solution that is being provided for the long term. Why on god's earth would they continue to throw money down the copper toilet when they can better spend those resources on get Fiber to the masses, faster?

You said it yourself:

However, in the time I was there I can't think of a time where things became so critical that customers were left hanging.
