Re: An advantage of FTTH is to end copper maintenance
Actually, to keep a usable copper pair to ur home, it does in fact cost verizon, cause they have to mantain the pair, and keep the copper plant mantained. Also, dialup does in fact work on fiber, albeit at lower speeds. in addition, u can DEFINITELY change carriers on fiber, its just like POTS, u are free to downgrade, or change local carriers.
In all, it costs MONEY to upgrade to fiber, so VZ just wants to cut the cost of mantaining copper. BTW, many people with DSL on the line say theyve been able to keep copper, either bcause of the DSL, or cause they have a different CLEC for local toll. |
