Re: I can't help but to see it differently Ummm...I believe all networks use/ have used fiber for their long haul trunks. Nothing new, but TWC is twisting the truth a more bit than wee..
Any copper medium coupled with a fiber feeder is a good transport than all copper/coax. That too is common knowledge. Thanks to urban expansion, engineers thought that out very well instead of using copper/coax runs with amplifiers.
But copper/coax does have a frequency limit. DOCSIS 3 is just an improvement over the present protocol that deals with compressing frequencies more effectively to introduce more "options" like IPv6...sort of like cramming 10 pounds of poop in a 5 pound bag..fiber coupled with coax just eliminates the overall attenuation.
I believe AT&T was the first to use fiber optic as a long haul LD trunk transmission medium...everyone else followed. |
