For my reply I am trying to get more authoritative info to show that incumbents do have plans to retire the copper plant once enough customers have migrated to FTTP ( I heard that 80% migration is the tip-ver where they convert the rest of customers to FTTP to be able to shutddown the copper).
This probably isn't exactly what you are looking for, but... As a CLEC in Oregon we connect to Century Link's ATM network to resell ADSL service. They have, for a while, maintained both fiber and copper facilities to these nodes. CL uses the fiber and we access the nodes through some number of T1s on the legacy ATM network (which usually provides inadequate bandwidth). They have been removing the ATM access to the nodes -- giving us about 2 weeks notice to warn and prepare any customers we have on them. We can resell the new DSL service (under higher rates), but CL gives us no way of providing access to these customers from our network now. The rates get even higher with static IPs (which we always provided at no cost). --TimH
