Yes, I have... 50+ years old and still works as well as ever (for what it was designed to do, of course).

Exactly my point. Why install copper lines, that would require you to upgrade them in a few years, when you can go straight to fiber optics that will allow you to deliver speeds 50x faster than copper?
