Saint Louis, MO | It really should not be all that expensive. They should be able to use the same fiber just replace the equipment on both ends. |
|
| They sold off some network already to install fios in their busier parts. Look up the fairpoint deal. |

Saint Louis, MO | Yes, but installing new lines (fiber or otherwise) is very expensive. Upgrading one fiber speed to another does not require putting in new fiber. |
|
| Yes it does when 10 gig is prob as fast as their backbone. They would need to heavily upgrade their backbone to provide those speeds. |

Saint Louis, MO | Backbone upgrade usually do not require laying new fiber(the major expense), it usually just means changing the hardware on both ends of the connection. Now when you exceed the maximum amount your fiber bundle can handle, you do have to run new fiber. Most areas still have a ton of dark fiber(backbone) that was put down with government money in 1996(?). |
