Phoenix, AZ | Yo Qwest-READ THIS! And isn't it amazing that Qwest continues to limp along using fiber only in the new, rich (and now foreclosed) neighborhoods, while the rest of us limp along on 40 year old copper.

kudos:2 | I don't think they string FTTH anywhere, but I'd love it if they put a VRAD in the big Qwest building in Golden. I'm only a few blocks over, so with any luck I'd be able to get 5 Mbps up service, which would be lovely. |

Aw, c'mon. Does Qwest really still have any 40-year-old copper in the plant? Around here, AT&T has been replacing F2s like crazy in preparation for Uverse (FTTN). The AT&T copper on the poles behind my house is newer than the Comcast coax!

| The QWest copper to our home in northern Utah is over 50 years old and they sued Utopia to keep FTTH out of our neighborhood. If you aren't going to provide the service please let someone else do it. |

The neighborhood I live in is nearly 45 years old. The copper is less than 5 years old (possibly less than three years old; the binder looks different than it did three years ago. A tad thinner than it was).
Frankly, it amazes me that you are not having severe voice line problems with 50-year-old copper.
