@verizon.net | reply to hottboiinnc Re: What is difference: new plant & overbuilding
newplant means exactly that verizon is laying lines (fiber) where they have never had a network at all so new plant is brand new network for verizon only
overlay is laying (fiber) over existing verizon network (old copper lines) pots |

| reply to ashworth RCN is considered an overbuilder because they over built a network. They overbuilt an area where Comcast or TWC or who ever else was the main provider previously.
Overbuilding and building out a new plant in an previously unserved area by one company would mean the same thing. |
