| Copper Removal On July 2, 2007. FIOS was installed outside of Newtown, PA and the installer was very cooperative and well trained.
I asked specifically about the copper and he had no intention of removing it and from our discussions, the installers simply ignore the copper. Actually, I had hoped that he would take down the copper. From a ligntning strike safety standpoint, removing the copper would be a great idea. A connection was made between the new ONT and the existing copper NT.
The installer made a point of telling me that all that needed to be done at the house to go back to copper was to restore the copper connection at the NT.
In this particular installation FIOS video was not included. The ONT R/G-6 output was simply connected to the existing house wiring through a block that multiplexed the orignal cable signal with the ONT output.
I have no idea what happened to the copper at the CO end. |
