Re: An advantage of FTTH is to end copper maintenance VZ is evil you complain, VZ is screwing us. First off, no one is forcing any o you to do business with Verizon.
No matter how many times it is said to the BBR users, they don't grasp the simple difference that when you go to fios and want copper back, you can.
The simple difference is that you can't have Verizon dial tone on copper but you can order dial tone from a clec or a dry loop for dsl and copper will be lit up again or put back in place, simple as that.
I can't help but f-ing laugh at those who actually state, "I didn't let Verizon cut my copper", that is one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever heard. Verizon owns the service drop so Verizon doesn't need your permission to take it out, and even if they leave it up and your dumb-ass thinks yeah baby I have a copper loop still connected, ah no, because of the constant copper maintenance, that cable pair your drop is attached at the pole/pull box terminal and to going back to the Hub will be disconnected at the terminal by some copper tech in the coming weeks in need of a good pair. This will be done to change over an existing copper customer who's own pair has gone bad. All you will have is a lightning rod going up to the terminal and it ends there because your pair is now gone.
The other thing is you keep harping on that VZ is taking out the copper to resale, you guys are idiots, if you ever paid attention to any of the aerial runs you would notice that the fiber cable is lashed onto the existing copper network which means there is no way to remove the copper cables and even if that were not the case, the cost of manpower,vehicles,damages would far outweigh any potential benefit. |
