said by webnetwiz :Because fiber can do gig speeds in the future, and one copper pair won't. Not only that. A single fibre optic cable will be able to deliver 200 HDTV channels, 4 phone lines for the house, 1 Gbps Internet, Dedicated "small-band" connections to your alarm company and other services.... all through one cable.
Fiber technology also allows for much easier splitting of services on said cable, where your cable company leases part of it for TV and your ISP uses another part of it for broadband, if you choose to use different companies.
I don't foresee that possibility with copper wires. At leaast, it will be limited a lot more then fiberoptics. -- And i'm right. I'm always right, but this time I'm a little more right then I usually am. |
