| reply to PyThro Re: Comcast fiber?
The only portion of the network that Comcast would need to replace in order to make it a fiber-only network would be the lines from each node to each house. The network is fiber from the CMTS station to the node, which then coverts the fiber-optic light signals into the radio frequency (RF) coaxial signals that then travel the rest of the way from the node to the house. This is enormous amounts of lines that would need to be replaced across the country to make this a reality. However, it probably would still be less than what Verizon most likely needs to replace. |
