For simplicity of argument I like people to envision the local government fiber agency (like your water authority) dropping off a 1 port fiber 4 port copper switch in your basement. On that device they can create a layer 2 VLAN/VPN/Tunnel from any of the copper ports to any provider in the town CO. You could buy video from one, voice from one, and internet from another, on three different ports. You could buy everything from one provider.+5 Cheers, -- jra
