Billings, MT | Fiber is not Copper.. I remember these ads..
I looked at Qwest's "Fiber Optic Internet" offering and was like "Copper is *NOT* fiber.. Not even close.."
If I sign up for "Fiber Optic Internet", I'd better have a fiber going directly to my router. | |

If I sign up for "Fiber Optic Internet", I'd better have a fiber going directly to my router. By that definition, no one offers "fiber optic internet" as a consumer service. Even FTTH like FiOS run fiber to a network interface at the premise, with coax to the modem. | |

Billings, MT | Re: Fiber is not Copper.. It'd make more sense to use Coax for the CableTV and Ethernet to your router/switch. | |
