"That makes 13 states where Verizon workers are digging up streets, installing boxes on phone poles and replacing traditional copper phone lines with thin glass fibers that transmit data at the speed of light"
so they are actually replacing copper lines, so wether you like it or not your stuck with verizon as a internet provider,(unless you have a cable co,wifi, ect.) i dont think some people that only check their email on dial up are going to like that idea. if its still in its "trial" stages why would they rip up the copper lines? sounds to me like verizons planning on going legit with it and America will wake up one morning to nothing but fiber and verizon will own it all
of course i wouldent mind having a super high speed 3 millisecond connection, but with the many many ignorant people with infected computers with no security i can see a big virus problem

| what makes you think that your dial up modem wont work over the voice spectrum portion of the fiber?
In other words the fiber doesnt know or call that a dial up modem is connected to the phone line... it will carry it just like it will carry your voice

Hazelwood, MO | I would imagine the same was as it does now.
You may have copper, but eventually somewhere your copper is hitting fiber regardless of what is linking to it. |
