PUC needs a kick

There is still an upside-down base of DSL to FiOS.
Most are suburban (rural) or mid-urban (neighborhoods outside metro areas).

And major concern with the copper plant is they don't want to spend the money (no short term gains) thanks to the failing mentality of no investing in long term.

Near me, bad NIDs, bad splice containers and splitting trunks (we are talking trunk lines that have been hanging on poles since the late 40's and 50's). Water gets into the splices/trunks and NIDS and there goes the process called oxidation. And there are other conditions like "it wasn't designed for this".

We can all pray that some driver (no harm please) or act of mother nature takes out those lines so they have to replace with newer tech.

But like Karl kinda sums up, Telcos like Verizon care only about their bottom line and not the customer or communications future.
