Re: A bit pricey for cable.

So the phone and cable companies are upgrading to fiber optic because it is less reliable and more expensive than copper?

I don't think so. Every technology has its particular issues, but that doesn't change the fact that per unit of data transfer, fiber optic is VASTLY more dependable and cheaper than copper.

While what you state may be true, it doesn't affect the big picture.
