 Simba7I Void Warranties join:2003-03-24 Billings, MT | said by digitalfreak:If that were the case, then why are all these cable co's trying to lead consumers to believe they are using nothing but fiber in their networks? The reason behind this is almost everyone knows fiber is "Super Fast", so they want to market their product as "Fiber Optic Fast", when in reality no fiber is actually reaching the house. It's a marketing ploy, which makes most engineers bang their head against the wall due to utter stupidity from corporate HQ.
Almost like Qwest saying their 12 and 20mbps DSL service is "Fiber Optic Fast Internet". Bullsh*t. Fiber IS Fiber.. Fiber IS NOT Copper. If you can shove a beam of light through a copper wire, then I'd be really impressed. -- Bresnan 15M/1M MyWS[P4HT@3.2GHz,2GB RAM,2x1TB HDDs,Win7] WifeWS[P4HT@3GHz,2GB RAM,60GB HDD,Win7] Router[2xP3@1GHz,512MB RAM,18GB HDD,SMC 8432BTA,2xDigital DE504,Compaq NC3131,Intel Pro/1000MT,IBM Gigabit Ethernet-SX,Allied Telesyn AT-2560FX,Gentoo Linux] |
