You're right, fiber is a better solution. I was speaking more so from the standpoint of CLEC's
A twisted-pair local loop is much cheaper than a "T1" type local loop. When there is equipment that can offer much faster data rates over cheaper mediums, there is a huge cost savings.

I take back a little of what I said. I bet SBC might use VDSL2 rather than deploying fiber and then VDSL to residential houses. But, in the long term, fiber is always best. |

Not when it can potentially save them money in the end. SDSL is a great technology to replace data-only local loops. It's cheaper (Bell loop) and provides the same service.
