At least those users would have something in the near(er) term. Advanced DSL is good for better than 25Mb and AT&T is talking bonded DSL for even better speeds. Of course it will never be as good as true FTTP but they would finally have an option other than cable.
today yes...in three years who knows...I am betting they want to hedge their bets and even today it would be cheaper to decom the copper and install all fiber just in the electrical costs alone if only they would be allowed to scrap the copper and recycle it....
