Copper not dead. Big brother wants it dead. Fiber & wireless are the preferred wire tap medium
Impressive at short distance, but woefully inadequate for realistic deployment based on a large scale. 1500 feet max (500m) out of a CO achieves almost nothing in terms of feeding an entire wire center.
G.fast is a digital subscriber line (DSL) standard for local loops shorter than 500 m, with performance targets between 150 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s, depending on loop length.[1] High speeds are only achieved over very short loops. Although G.fast was initially designed for loops shorter than 250 meters, Sckipio in early 2015 demonstrated G.fast delivering speeds over 100 megabits nearly 500 meters and the EU announced a research project.[2]
What is g-fast on coper.explain please
G.fast assumes a good copper plant is in place. Most copper on the F2 side is garbage. The same water issues that cause a landline phone to have noise would crush any data transmissions. Plain and simple, copper is costly to maintain, and a g.fast deployment would require all new copper to be installed. No company is going to deploy all new F2 side copper given the cost to maintain it, and the copper in place is not going to deliver anything near the speeds conducted under perfect laboratory speeds.
That's hilarious.
That seems to be the vlss new mgmt plan, cut off nose to spite face.... ,/ .... Supposed to be the silly Vz check
This has been out for awhile but they won't implement it because that would be an admission that wireless isn't all it's cracked up to be and it would continue to employ thousands of union workers. That's the last thing they want. They no longer want to be a public utility.
