I have ties to all types of communications companies. The majority of home users do not need fiber...especially with VDSL/DOCSIS 3.0 offerings available to them.
Docsis 3.0 is a joke.., sure brought cable to what 100mbps in some markets.. but generally 30 or less.., and don't get me started on the upload.., everything is moving to the cloud right? upload is gonna play a bigger role in the next 5 years then anything else.. and what tech is capable of doing upload now... fiber, sure docsis 3.1 can, but by the time it rolls out to everyone fiber will be already cheaper than copper..
