Yes, I have... 50+ years old and still works as well as ever (for what it was designed to do, of course).

Any more apples and oranges?

Exactly my point. Why install copper lines, that would require you to upgrade them in a few years, when you can go straight to fiber optics that will allow you to deliver speeds 50x faster than copper?

Re: Maybe so,

That was then; this is now--technology marches on. Fiber can be damaged just as easily as copper. Leave a copper wire to itself and it will last a long, long time--way more than 50 years.
