Copper plant is aging and triple the maintenance (maybe even more).
Pensions are going up (not down).
No new infrastructure.
Push up prices then in 6-12 months promise newer, LTE wireless with "broadband" speeds at only double the price but 20x faster!
Verizon plans Fios and LTE. DSL and POTS are dead.
Welcome the antenna overlords!
I keep reading on here where 'copper' is going to die, as its so old.
It can last for decades, just like the power lines going to and in our homes.
