Re: Nice Speeds
said by bogey780  :Then provision another twisted pair. Voila. How is this a better alternative to fiber? Eventually you're going to run out of pairs and need to trench new cable anyway. What about the higher maintenance costs of aging copper v. fiber? Just because something can be done doesn't mean it is the best option. |

| Again, someone thinks reactively rather than proactively. There are so many issues with copper in the buildings, like interference, signal attenuation, etc... The only issue swith fiber is that it has to be installed delicately, that's it. Once you've installed it, tested it, you're done! There's no need for filters, POTS splitters and extra lines to spearate the signal. Fiber is just cleaner. |

So you are running fiber to the phones too?
VDSL2 is a complement to fiber, and eventually that part of the local "loop" can even be replaced with fiber without starting over. This technology leverages existing infrastructure to deliver the goods now, not 25 years from now.
Verizon went straight to fiber mostly because they had to. Their outside copper plant is quickly dissolving from decades of mismanagement and deferred maintenance.
Try again. |
