 Verizon deal

Verizon will most likely drop the copper when they are done installing FIOS to gain more profits. Drop the copper and they drop the maintenance and repair cost to maintain them.

That has to be true but over time the cheaper costs of maintaining fiber will trickle down to the consumer.

I am the lucky guy with the telco poles in my back yard and across the street is the POTS junction box for the neighborhood. Never a day goes by without 2 or 3 trucks working here.

They can force people to switch too. the line of: we are no longer supporting copper anymore in your area .

Give them a discount for FIOS the first few months and there you go.
