Billings, MT | Competition for FiOS This could help other cable companies to deploy FTTH. It would be a good incentive to ditch copper completely and deploy fiber.
Not to mention.. it would pay for itself. Sell the copper to deploy fiber. Heck, they might actually come out ahead. |

1 edit | i guess you guys failed to notice that in the video its not even coax. Its a sham man, in the real world cable companies use on average .750. Thats not even big enough to run fiber. Im guessing the company that developed the process scoured the USA and actually found the one out of million areas this might actually work and agreed to try it free or some deal like that for advertisement. Dont buy into the hipe as its a useless technology. Keep in mind that in real world a 625 cable hard line is a total of .625 thousands of a inch on the outside. My guess is they went out and found a developement that ran 2 hardlines and told buckeye they could do it. Is it possible in a developement where a extra hardline was ran. Sure it is,but in the real world its not feasable |

Faison, NC | Actually .750 cable is big enough to house several fiber lines.
6 strands only need .325 to fit, so 12 strands is easy. |

The new pencil fibers house a 12 count and are the size of a phone drop. Even a 188 count is smaller in diameter than the inner diameter of the .750 sheath. Just lube that sucker up with pulling lube and away you go. |
