Broadband in America from an insider.

Thats awesome! We got different PUC/FCC rules out here in Commiefornia as we cannot cut a copper drop off a fiber house as CLEC's wont be able to sell their copper based resell service to that house, seen as 'slamming' a customer to force our fiber service onto them. Our newest memo is if we are selling 9M or better internet with line share (landline phone) we must use VOIP off the modem for their phone service, not TDM. We have a few properties that are fiber only but we still have a 5-25 pair into them for their elevator and 2 fire panel lines that cannot be on fiber.
****, we barely have decent pavement to drive on and ZERO sidewalks or curbs except the brand new sub divisions and right down town where the stores and tourists go.
Fiber available to the general public? Pshaw.:D
