I'm pretty sure each BAS serves multiple COs, at the very least if there is one in each CO it serves remotes that are run off that CO.
But adding more bandwidth there isn't that expensive. 95% of the cost of a fibre install is the labour, permits, etc. rather than the fibre itself. As a result whenever installing fibre companies install lots of extra, that way if your current pair fails you can just switch to another. Also because it's much cheaper to add capacity. The fibre is already there, they just need to add equipment on either end. -- Taylor Byrnes www.taylorbyrnes.org |
