said by Done_Posting: I don't think TekSavvy has any of their own copper plant anywhere. If I'm correct, then your theory is flawed. It's far easier to add another Gig-E / DS3 / whatever link on the backend (in this case TekSavvy's part of the system) than it is to add additional plant capacity (in this case Bell's copper loops to the individual subscribers).

Unlike in HFC Cable networks, the copper plant is dedicated on a per subscriber basis. The issue Bell is claiming is that the DS3/OC3 capacity in their fiber plant is becoming over saturated - which they haven't offered any proof of.
