Re: Solution in search of a problem?

They stopped investing in POTs years ago. The problem is they have this 100 year old infrastructure that is too old to do much more with and too expensive to do a forklift upgrade on. They should have been spending more to upgrade the infrastructure to fiber but instead chose to pocket the profits. Now that the cable companies have been able to match their service on a more modern infrastructure their day of reconing is here.
