[QUOTE="Mike_60, post: 2692813, member: 16957"] 1st: Drop ATM based DSL yes but not IP DSL. The idea being to turn down ALL of the older frame relay and ATM technology based services in favor of a pure IP network. Which is much faster and a lot more versatile. 2nd: Fiber is not a "downgrade" by any means. Fiber is by far the most reliable and fastest means of getting service to a customer there is. There is no theoretical limit on using fiber like there is with copper as new technologies are proving. What can be done strictly with light these days borders on magic. 3rd: Fiber doesn't run on bad batteries. It uses the same power distribution that the copper network equipment uses. Which is redundant and is backed up with Gen sets and batteries. If someone loses service during extended power outages it's usually because the customer doesn't have their equipment on a UPS. Or they're an extended distance from a CO running through an RT and the RT has lost power which would be an all copper setup. Actually, most RT sites don't have gen sets just batteries for a short outage. Or lastly, the cables have been damaged. [/QUOTE]
