If we spend all kinds of $$ to build a 1.5M/s connection to homes, it's outdated before we even finish.I disagree. I much prefer fiber to the curb with copper to the home. Of course, I haven't had a need for 100mb/s to the house which I can do on copper, much less need for gigabit.Pro's for copper from curb: 1) power over copper for POTS2) Majority of cuts occur on customer drops and copper is more resilient to splicing by any monkey.Jack
